The local weather prophets do not look for much cold this side of Christmas. This weather is^ertainly charming, but there is some rough days ahead. So look out! We are still of the opinion that cotton will take an upward move in price before long. Good cotton ?is selling at 7I cents today. Receipts of the week about 2.?0 bales. Beautiful albums and toilet cases, all i i. prices, at isrooser s. Mr. W. W. Lightsey lost his pony last Saturday. Death resulted from blind staggers. Th< postoffice, bank and county offices will be closed next Thursday, that being a legal holiday. We have not heard a complaint of hard times this fall. Remarkable contrast with last fall. Reports from eveiy section of the county indicate a large area planted in oats and wheat. Good news, this is. Wanted?First-class beef cattle on hoof. Will pay best prices. J. A. Vernon. We want a copy of The Bamberg Herald of October 12th, 18b9. WTho will send it to us? Would like it as early as possible.

"MV TT a Par has received his com mission as magistrate, and has opened up for business. His office is located in the small building back of the dispensary. It is rumored that several deals are on foot, and that the Bamberg Telephone Exchange will change hands, and the lines and service be very much improved. Charleston's Gala Week festivities are now in full blast. Bamberg, as usual, has a number of .representatives among the thousands of pleasure seekers now in the old city. The' sowing of small grain is general throughout the county, and the results of the return to wheat raising is bound to be felt in'the matter of making the farm self-sustaining. Mrs. C. Ehrhardt, Mr. and Mrs. J. Ehrhardt and children, of Ehrhardt, Bamberg Countv, came up Monday on a visit to Mrs. H. F. Cline and family.?Newberry Observer. . Mt. Thomas J. Simmons, who was The Herald's very capable correspondent at Denmark, has moved to Bamberg, where ho has accepted a position in the store of Mr. T. S. Weeks. This is generally considered a prosperperous year, but the people of this county are paying their taxes very slowly. The receipts are not much if any larger than last year up to this date. For the next sixty days J will pay 25c. in trade or 20c. cash for pine or cypress cross ties, 7x9, feet long, delivered anywhere*fclong line of Southern Railway. J. A. Spaxn. Some action should be taken in reference to closing the stores on Thanksgiving day. All business, as far as practicable, should be discontinued, and we hope that all places of business in Bamberg will be closed next Thursday, We Dope ail posiuiasiers ma ucuici Tke Hekald promptly, and only to the parties to whom the paper is addressed. No pq^who is not a subscriber has any right to receive it, and we cannot hope to keep our subscribers unless we see that they get their paper on time. G. Frank Bamberg has an advertisement in another column that it will pay you to read. He talks about harness, saddles, bridles, etc., and his announcement makes interesting reading. The prices quoted are attractive, and if you need anything in this line, now is the time to buy. It is doubtful if there will be any extension of the time for payingtaxes without penalty this winter. Fairly good crops and prices have put most people in condition to pay before new year. And as a successful newspaper and business man Governor Mcf>weeney believes in and lives up to payment "strictly in advance.'* So don't delay. Comptroller General Derbaui has made several appointments with our Treasurer and Auditor for an annual settlement, but so far has failed to keep" any of them. Mr. C. C. Ellzey, toreman of the grand ?nro and Snnervisor Kearse were both J*" J > r- ? here to meet him, and it is rather inconvenient for several men to come here to meet the Comptroller, only to be disappointed. "I was visiting friends of mine in the country the other day," said a lady friend of Thk Herald, yesterday, "when your paper was mentioned. There was an universal exclamation of praise for it, and the head of the family said : 'The Herald is one of the best county papers in the State, and I wouldn't be without it if the subscription price wi s two dollars instead of one.'" Wedding and birthday presents, a magnificent assortment, at Brooker's. Mr. G. B. Clayton, of Ehrhardt, is a subscriber after the editor's own heart. He appreciates The Herald, and to be sure that he will have it is a weekly visitor, even if cotton does drop next year to four cents, he has paid up his subscription to May, 15+01. A few more friends of this sort, and we should really begin to believe that life was worth the living, and be encouraged to make The Herald a better paper even than it is. We are indebted to our friends for a number of valuable local items sent to us through the mail and handed us in person, for the paper. If everybody would remember that he or she could help make the paper brighter and better by mentioning some little thing of interest tc the editor of The Herald when you see him, or by calling him up over the 'phone ?our 'phone number is 16?the papei would win its way into the hearts of the people more rapidly. The Herald ii just what its friends make it, and it want: its friends to make it the most interest a, ing purveyor of city and county news ii South Carolina. ?pi%> -V Some valuable property is advertise* for salesday in December.

The two societies will entertain their friends in the best manner possible, The following will represent Kilgo Society: Messrs. Law ton, Shieder, Jeffcoat, and T. Rhoad. The Sheridan has selected Misses M. Tarrant, E. Riley, S. Garris, Kee Price, and Brabham to represent them. A pleasant evening is promised those who come. The gymuasinm outfit is expected in the next few davs, and the school hopes soon to have it in working order. There has been some delay in its shipment on account of the | press of business at the factory. The school community was very much disappointed at the non-appearance, at least in this part of the world, of the meteoric display. A grand sight was expected, but nothing came of it. We don't know what was the cause of their not appearing. Some thought, perhaps, Mother Leo had called her wauder ing Leonids hack to her abiding pi ice, and bade them cease their wanderings; others thought the flying particles of Stardust had evaded the mathematical skill of the astronomers. We hope to learn something more about this. Mrs. Wall and her sister^ Mrs. Harris, of Augusta, spent Sunday at the Fitting School, visiting Master Baker, the son of the former.

Spann is one of the most progressive and enterprising mer. chants in Bamberg. Up to a few weeks ago he had little faith in newspaj>er advertising as a business help, but the result of his first experiment in this direction was so successfully surprising that now he is a thorough convert to that method of pushing his interests. To accommodate the hundreds of patrons who failed to take ad vantage of his last bargain day he has made another radical mark down in prices, and for two days, Monday aud Tuesday, December 4th and 5th, he will offer a long list of unprecedented bargains, in all liues of goods. On his last great bargain day his force of clerks was not sufficient to wait on the rush of customers. On the two days mentioned, which will be the last bargain days of the season, he will have a large force of atten dants, and everv customer can 7 * depend upon being served. Housekeepers, Attention! I have the most complete line of enameled agate ware. No housekeeper has her kitchen complete unless she has enameled ware to cook her dainties. J. L. Karesh. Personal Remarks. Court convenes here next Mon day week, December fourth, which is also the first Monday and salesday^ There will no doubt be a large crowd in town that day, and we hope to see a large number of our subscribers at The Herald office. Our place of business is easy to find, and you will be put to very little trouble in order to pay what you owe us. Some of you are owing us several dollars for several years, and if yon can ever pay, you surely can pay this fall. We don't want to be harsh with anybody, but if you cannot or will not pay for The Herald, we don't want you to take it. We now give fair warning and no tice to those subscribers who are several years behind, we shall turn their accounts over to an attorney for collection and the paper will be stopped. Every centjs an honest debt, and we want it. We are in pressing need of what is due us, and we do hope those in arrears will pay up immediately. Some of you have called in and promised to pay, and have not done so. Do you intend to keep your promise? Opera House Tonight. The Lehr & Williams Comedy Company will give our people a ran treat tonight by presenting "Th< Precious Baby," a comedy in thre( acts The principal characters an taken by Miss Ina Williams, th< funny comedian, "Billy Lehr,' and Master Kaynor, the youngesi actor upon the American stage.

We cannot refrafn from calling the special attention of our readers j to the page advertisement of Messrs. it Pearlstine" & Sons, of Branchville, 0 not only because this firm offer extraordinary bargains in all lines of ,e goods purchased of them up to Ded cember first, but because of their 11 enterprise and go-aheadativeness. ' They appreciate the value of prin? ter's ink, and, although their house [J is well-known, employ that method r with prodigal liberality to inform i- their friends and patrons of advantageous mercantile events like t'.?e - preseut. The firm is an old estab' lished one, and its word is as good " J J V* .?

Our new press has been installed, and last week's issue was printed on if. We have been badly handicapped since purchasing The Herald, in the nutter of a press, but now that the difficulty has been removed, we are in a position to supply everybody in Bamberg county with a neatly printed and newsy paper. We have the only cylinder press in Barnwell or Bamberg counties, and our electric plant gives us a well equipped and first class office. Our machinery will no doubt be an object of interest to many of our readers, and they are cordially invited to drop in a.iy time and see the beautiful little electric motor (built by a well known Bamberg boy, Mr. Decania Dowling) run a large Cottrell cylinder press and a 10x15 Chandler & Price job press. We now have the best equipped office in this section of the State, and we are going to make other improvements at once. We are going to put in a lot of new faces of job type. We also will have a new dress for the paper. Our job trade has increased materially lately, so much so that we got behind with our work, but we are hustling day and night now, and will deliver work promptly after this week. The Herald is the paper to take if you waut the new3, and this i3 the place to have your job work done. Denmark Dots. The large new water tank belonging to the F.

The complacent tradesman who relies solely upon hisindi- & vidual merits to build up a thriving T business may be commended for the faith that is in him; but such faith ^ is without solid foundation. It is ei much like that which was characteristic of the optimistic Mr.Micawber, j11 who, being bald, was of the opinion 5 that he had been providently depri- ti ed of his hair in order that he might & without discomfort wear the wig of ^ a lord higli chancellor. A merchant S may ever be so worthy but in these 0 hustling times he must in addition J do something in order to get the 11 public interested in his establish- w ment. Good newspaper advertis- d ing answers the purpose. & ? o Geo. Noland, Rockland, 0., says, "My wife had piles forty years. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured her. It is the best salve in America."

I The petitions were sent out a I ouple of weeks ago by Mrs. Joy, ife of Representative Joy of Mis h Duri. A.copy was mailed to the dfe of each Representative, with the I ?quest that it be signed and re- I limed to Mrs. Joy in Washington, 'he petition is as follows: ''We demand that neither he (Robrts) nor any such as he shall ever ike part in the councils of the law- I laking body ot our beloved country." Mrs. Joy acted in this matter at lie request of Miss Helen Gould of few York in behalf of the move lent recently inaugurated by women f the land against Mr. Roberts. It as deemed a good idea to work upu the me mbers of the House through a leir wives, hence the petition en- jj sting the efforts of the feminine ranch of the Congressional estab- a shmenfc. u Many of those who signed the pe- e tion contented themselves with j lerely attaching their signatures to le printed form, but some others rote letters encouraging Mrs. Joy nd expressing their disapproval of Ir. Roberts in vigorous terms. } The Nuts Cracked. * Denmark, November 21.?Answer > your first puzzle, about the horse -gained $20 ; answer to the second uzzle, about the beggar?the begar was a sister to the man that ' ied.
