The wind in Bamberg Sunday night
blew down a number of fences, and
wrecked a number of fine shade

far as reported, however, no houses
were damaged. Very little rain fell

high speed in passing this way. Up
to Monday night there had been no
rain, except small shower, in ten

date a large number of boys with
comfort, and it is the hope OF the
school authorities that every room
in the dormitories will be filled.
We have been hearing all these
\ years about the office hunting the
man. At last, that very thing has
happened over in Bamberg but alas
and alackaday!-the man couldn't be
found: No one filed any pledge for
cotton we;gher at the county seat. To
think of an office reaching the depth
of insignifcance where from neither
love of the people nor emoluments, a
man can't be found to fill it. How
king cotton has been dethroned by
boss boil weevil, is enough to make a
hardened sinner weep. - Calhoun
