crate halls and parlors.

instrumental number, ITO the Sea,
by Miss Mary Motion. was followed
by duet on the piano by Miss FRANKIE
Folk and Mrs. E. H. Henderson. Miss
Mozelle Copeland then sang a solo.
"A Perfect Day." Her voice usually
sweet and appealing, was particular
ly pleasing in this rendition. Each
of the musicians furnished pure
pleasure for their artistic friends.
The ladies were then ushered into
the dining room. Here the table was
laid in faultless style, with an ele-
CANT cover of lace, a souvenir OF
travel in the Orient. Cut flowers
and blooming plants gave beauty and
grace to an appetizing feast. Soft
lights from a candelabra illuminated
the room. A salad course, consist
ing of pressed chicken. hot rolls,
cheese straws, pickles and crackers,
was served, followed by coffee with
whipped cream and cake.
The remainder of the AFTERNOON
was spent in practice of a seXtette
from Lucia" and social recreation,
present giving abundant appreciation
of a delightful afternoon.

winter fell Monday night.
The Spann Mercantile Co., has been
commissioned by the secretary OF
State.
The family of Rev. E. O. Watson
has not arrived in Bamberg yet, as
the parsonage is being repaired.
Mr.. John NJ. Tatum, OF Cope, mas

West Point by Congressman James F.
Byrnes.
On account of the rain, the Japa-
nese tea, given Monday evening at
the Mayflower Inn, was not largely
attended.
Very little fertilizer has been ship
ped to this point so far this season,
and the outlook is that very little
will be used this year by Bamberg
county farmers.
Considerable cotton has changed
( hands here recently as result OF
the increase in price. Some cotton
was sold which had been held for
Several months.
Considerable interest is being evil
denced in the approaching\c city elec-
ton in May. Already there are sew
eral who have announced that they
will be candidates in the election.
MIR. ]. D. Copeland, Jr., has re-
signed as cotton statistician for Bam-

ceed Mr.. Copeland.
While being driven out of the lot
Monday, Mr.. A. Rice's horse fell

Kindly notice the date on the label
of your paper. If it has expired
renewal will be much appreciated.
$3.50 does not mean much to any
one person and this small amount
could easily be spared. In the aggre-
gate, however, it means much to US.
One hundred renewals during the
next week would help us wonderfully.
If The Herald is worth anything
at all, it is worth paying for. We do
not try to force the paper on anybody,
and if you don't want it, all you
have to do is to let us know and we
will discontinue sending it. But We
must insist that if you do take it
that you pay for it. We cannot af-
ford to send out a number of papers
on credit, and must treat all alike
and adhere to the cash-in-advance
rule.

SAYS PRICES ARE GOING DOWN

According to Sol Westerfeld chair
man of the trade relations committee
of the Natl Assn of Retail Grocers,
the cost Of living is going down and
will continue to decrease.
Today bread will go back to the old
price Of 5 cents. When the price
went up last February small bakers
did not ride in the same boat with the
big fellows, as the latter figured they
would. Their sale of scent Ioages
made large inTOads on the sales Of
the big firms.
The price of eggs, potatoes and
butter has also gone down.
Because of the limited exports of
the last few months the cold storage
houses are packed to the doors. Trad
ing on the Live Stock exchange has
been light in the past few weeks.
This all points to slump in prices
which is long overdue.

YOUR BANK

Have you a little money in the bank?
If not, why not? We will assume, in
the first place, that you have not. Do
you know hat you are depriving your
self of a feeling of security that moth
ing else in the world equals? The
workingman with a little bank account
say just enough to tide him owe for a
month or two, is not afraid OF sickness
or unemployment. He Is a free man,
and can look his employer and every
other man in the face without the fear
that, without the favor of that EN-
ployer or that friend, he would be re-
duced to desperate straits to make
ends meet. The bank account Is the
breeder of self confidence, of efficiency,
of happiness. Rich men in their pal
aces, their yachts and their automo-
biles are no freer, no more independ-
ent, than the man with the bank &C
count. Every great economist bases
his system of economy or the funda-
mental fact that it is not what is made
that is the foundation Of fortunes, but
what is saved. A man has earned in
a years time just what he has at the
end of the year. The rest has gone
for expenses, whether for necessities
or Injuries. The net savings of the
year are the years sole earnings. The
bank account, however small, has a
peculiar way of making a real man of
it's owner. It's pretty hard to stand up
straight and defy the world with moth
ing to back up your bluff but two or
three meals ahead. It's a ten to one
bet that the man who is penniless and
talks about the great things he can
do, is a "bob-tailed fusher." Money
may be the root of all evil. Certainly
it is the root of solid independence, Of
character and golden happiness, even
though you have a small amount of 1t.

fore, the road drag has been used in
localities with excellent results and
with surprisingly small expense. many
Of the highways have been carefully
moved which materially adds to the
appearance, lettering the condition in
the summer and giving the now a
chance to blow off from the road as 1t
does from a plowed field.
In this part OF the state there Is sell
dom indeed a sufficient amount of
snow to block traffic unless 1t is held
in the road by the grass and weeds.
Hence If our roads are free from OBJ
~structions, little or no snow will re-
main on the highway and this will
mean good roads.
Within sixty days we will probably
have snow and the places where the
grass and weeds are standing even il
not more than twelve inches high will
cause snow drifts and will mean bad
travelling all winter. for four months or
One"tnlrd OF the entlre year. In many
instances, a few weeds, sometimes not
more than a dozen in a cluster will
cause a bad drift all winter.
The public is DESTROYS of better roads
and is going to have them, just now
the people are studying how they can
be improved and how the money a
be had to build better.
Will you permit us to tell you how
you can have good roads one-third of
the year with little or no expense. If
directions are followed results are
guaranteed; you will have helped your
self, assisted your neighbor and the
community in general, you will have
solved the road problem for the winter.
The secret is-"cut your weeds."-Ex.

NEW REFERENCE BUREAU

In establishing a municipal refer
ence bureau, the university of Mis-
souri, will fill a long-felt want. The
bureau plans to furnish non-partisan
information on all questions affecting
the municipality. II the public wants
to know about the experience of other
cities with their sewage systems, water
supply, paving, city parks, city govern
ment, police and fire protection or any
of the other problems with which
cities struggle, they can get it free Of
all cost by application to the municipal
bureau. The method of procedure will
be to keep on file at the university
newspaper clippings, reports. speeches
and specially prepared articles relat-
ing to all matters pertaining to the
municipality. Thus, in the midst of
political campaigns, when the air Is
filled with all sorts of claims of poll
ticians and charges of the failure of
certain measures In other cities, au-
thoritative information "a be had OF
short notice by application to the mu-
nicipal bureau.

The forest officers in the Black Hills
reserve will this fall reseed five hum
dred acres 10 pine nea Deadwood

Hills where the conditions are such
as to justify the work.
Alfred Weatherer has just marketed
a record crop of winter rye, which he
raised near Lebanon. Last fall he
planted SO acres of rye with a one row
drill, between the rows Of growing
corn. The crop grew and thrived and
he figured that 1t ought to make 25
bushels per acre. He threshed last
week and hauled the grain to town and
sold it. The 81 acres yielded 2,176
bushels, for which he received IS cents
per bushel. This is an average yield
of AZ bushels per acre, and an average
income per acre of 1855. This is an
instance of where the crop more thar
paid for the land, as there is plenty OF
land in the county just as good as this
piece, which can be bought for less
than the value Of this crop.
Farmers of South Dakota are hold
ing their wheat as a result OF the drop

Of grain in the state are sufficiently
