The sudden change in the weather
Sunday night sent folks scurrylng
during the night hunting covering.
The thermometer dropped to winter
time proportions, at least 1t felt SO
after the hottest Sunday in some
weeks.
Some dozen residences in Bamoerg
are now in the course of construction,
ranging all the way from small pun
galows to imposing structures. Ihls
is a welcome Industry in Bamberg, as
no residences have been built to
speak of of here for the past several
years. Now that the ice mas oeen
broken it is hoped that the gooo
work Will continue.
A valued subscriber in Alabama
writes: LAS l have not received The
Herald for the past two weeks, l
suppose my subscription has ex-
pired. Enclosed you will find check ~
Moral: Don't let your subscription
expire. 1t is unnecessary to miss a
single copy of your favorite paper,
and it causes us inconvenience. Just
forward renewals a week or two BE-
fore your time is out, and you will
not miss any copies.
Five houses have been erected on
the property of the Bamberg Realty
company in the northern section OF
town, and the foundation has been
laid for the sixth The finishing
. touch is being made to the houses
already erected, and they will soon be
ready for occupancy. Four of these
houses are one-story bungalows, and
the otner is two-story residence.
The houses are very attractive, and
arranged conveniently.
The county campaign meeting was
held Tuesday at Camp Branch. Camp
Branch is a new voting place recently
created by the executive committee
for the citizens Of the section of Col
Teton annexed last winter to Bamberg
county. Camp Branch school house
is right on the old line between Bam-
berg and Colleton counties. The
meeting was attended by large
crowd of citizens of that community
and some visitors from other sections.
Cosmopolitan magazine has ad-
yised it's trade customers that the
price of the magazine has advanced
to 35 cents, with this explanatory
note: Increased costs make this
change necessary; in a year paper
has gone up 400 per cent, editorial
costs have doubled, printing costs
have doubled, and transportation
costs have increased one-third, with
more to come" The same thing is
experienced by all newspapers. The
Herald has made no increase in its
subscription rate, and the best way
TO help us to keep it down is to give
all your printing and advertising pat
sronage to your home paper.
No town can enjoy the prosperity
that a good town deserves if it's home
people go elsewhere to do their bus
mess. After all town is but the
sum of its people, their enterprises
and industries. If these enterprises
thrive, then so will the town. Bam-
asrg has many creditable enterprises
and busines rs rhich warran. spieH-
did patronage, yet dozens of our peo-
pie go to other places with their mon
ey and receive no better bargains for
it. It's merely a fad, habit and a
bad one. People get the idea that if
an object comes from away off it's
better, but they have to stretch their
ii. aginaticas TO foster suci silly no
ions. Patronize your home industries
and let's all pull together for big
ger, better, greater Bamberg.
