: . % .. * y i Stye lamhrrg ffrralfc Thursday, Dec. 20th, 1906 Short Locals. Winter weather we are having this week. Al! winter lap-robes going at prime cost at G. Frank Bamberg's. Considerable moving will take place between now and the first of January. Cotton is worth 9i cents on this market to day (Wednesday.) Receipts for the week are very light. Be sure to call on The Herald's advertisers when out doing your holiday shop ping. lbey nave Dargains w oner you. Mrs. K. I. Shuck & Co. are offering special low prices on all goods for the - . balance of the year. Holiday goods aie going cheap. The first of January is when the time expires for paying State and county taxes S without the penalty, yet a number of people in this county have not yet paid up. f , Mr. G O. Simmons m<ived to towo Tuesday. He is occupying the home va,%!, cated by.Mr. J. M. Jennings and family, who have moved back to their home in r' the outskirts of town. Safety deposit boxes for rent at Peoples Bank, Bamberg, S. C. Large size boxes $1.00 a year; small size, 75c. a year. This 'is the most convenient and safe place to keep your valuable papers. * . Mr. W. R. Bishop and family moved to Columbia this %eek, where they will live in future. Mr. Bishop has been farming on the Fishburne place a few miles below town for several years past, but he has sold out. * Bamberg county recently received a little over $900 for her schools from the dispensary. When this amount was apportioned out to each pupil, however, it ; was not a drop in the bucket. Spartanburg county received nearly $3,000. C. F. Rizer at Olar will receive a car load of horses and mules on Saturday, the !: 22nd. Call on him for good stock. We would not say anything to wound ?- the feelings of any tine for a great deal, but it seems that the custom of suspending exercises at the graded school when ' - ? tne a earn 01 a pupa occurs is u&.cijr ?v % [ , interfere with school work to a great ex-^4;. tent. Just before going to press we learn that : ;'Vi Rev. J. W. Kilgo, the new presiding - elder, will be here and preach at the C_ Methodist church next Sunday morning! ;:t-> and evening. The quarterly conference will be held immediately aster service) Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Wilkes, who have been .here for some time, left Monday. Mr. Wilkes has been in charge of the affairs of the Electric 8upply Co. at this ' place, finishing up the electric light plant. T!ih+of?wiI1o Ca whprn hilt. UO (JVAio uv vxw?wxi ?) X-?, ...... .? company is erecting a plant for that city. At the Methodist church last Sunday ;x the matter of a protracted meeting was & discussed, at which Rev. Thos. Leitch h ' :. was to assist the pastor. The question of holding it in January was discussed, but it was thought best to postpone it until &</"? the latter part of February or first of ; March. - Sp?V The protracted meeting at the Baptist S8g&: church closed last Sunday night. The ij^-C pastor was assisted in the preaching by fe- Rev. W. W. Willian, of North. There ^ were twenty-three additions to the church gg5 as a result of the meeting. The candidates for baptism will be baptized at the church this (Thursday) evening. | v If you want a fine lap-robe, go to G Frank Bamberg's and bny one at first cost. They must be qpld. James Armstrong, the twelve-year-old ? son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Armstrong, while wrestling with some other boys $? :. last Thursday, had his right arm dislo v*t cated and fractured. It was a painful fp? accident, but he is getting along as well ; as could be expected. It is feared, howpf* ever, that his arm will be somewhat stiff as a result of the accident. f:?: C. F. Rizer, of Olar, is now in 8t. Louis, 1^. v buying a car load of horses and mules. ; They will arrive at Olar on Saturday, the . 22nd. They will be good ones as usual. See him if you need an animal. Capt J. B. Guess, of Denmark, presim dent of the cotton growers' association V ' ? for Bamberg county, was in the city ' Monday, bat no meeting of the association could be held, as there was not a sufficient number of the members pres-1 ent. How can the farmers expect othersI J:" to be interested in their organization jC when they show no interest themselves? ? 'I have a beautiful line of winter lap 1 . * _rn I, . ?? f rooes WHICH X Will bdt 211 Uf5i? ^U5b iiuui ||o6y now until January/ Come and see them. G. Frank Bamberg. Two weeks ago we sent out statements ?v; to our subscribers who are behind. Some j|J reponded promptly, others wrote us that T V they would pay shortly, while there are many we have not heard from at all. It / costs money to send out statements, and \ - there is very little profit in a dollar paper ?& >, We don't want to lose any subscribers, but we must insist on prompt payments. Give Mrs. K. L Shuck & Co. a call, j* They are giving special low prices on their entire lifie for the balance of the year. Nice line of holiday goods at bargain figures- The goods are all new. //. ? We have i^ceived an interesting account of President Roosevelt's recent trip to Panama, written by Midshipman D. G. Copeland, of the United States Navy, formerly of this city. We are unable to publish it this week for lack of space, but * it will appear next week. The president made his trip to Panama on Mr. Copeland's ship, the battleship Louisiana. We feel sure that the description of the trip and the country will be read with interest by our subscribers. I must get rid of a large stock of winter lap robes, and I will sell them at cost until January. See me for a bargain. G. Frank Bamberg. This week's issue of The Herald con tains more advertising than any issue since the paper has been in existence. We could have had more, but we have had to.neglect this part of our business recently because of a rush of job work. Our force has been overworked, as we simply had more business than we could handle. This condition will be changed after this week, as we will have more force, having engaged Mr. J. T. Greenwood, of Clifton Forge. Va., whom we expect to arrive to day. This will give us,ample force to take care of all the business we can get. We care not how you suffered, nor what failed tq. cure you, Hollister's Rocky Mouiipain Tea makes the puniest, weakest specimen of man or womanhood strong and healthy. 35 cents. H. F. HOOVER. From Oklahoma. It was our privilege a few days ago to see a letter from Mr. J. P. Matheny to his father, Mr. D.' R. Matheny, of this city. Mr. Matheny is now located in the thriving city of Oklahoma, where he carried a crowd of South Carolina investors to whom he had sold lots. He says the whole sale passed off nicely, and the crowd passed resolutions of thanks to him for his fair dealings and the good time given them. Mr. Matheny will make Enid headquartersuntil his next sale of lots is concluded. The Christian church has recently established a college at JfcJnid, tor wmcn tnat city outbid every town in the Territory, including Oklahoma City. The amount paid to secure the college was $85,000. Fifteen hundred lots are to be sold in the vicinity of the college, and these will only be sold to residents of Oklahoma. Mr. Matheny says Enid increased to the extent of one million dollars last year. Death of a Little Boy. Little George Hodson. the eightyear-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hodson, died at the home of his parents in this city last Friday morning about three o'clock, after being sick only a few hours. He was taken sick Thursday night while eating supper. The little fellow was a pupil at the graded school, and exercises were suspended Friday as mark of respect. , The burial took place at South-end cemetery Saturday morning at eleven o'clock, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. A. J. Foster, pastor of the Baptist church, assisted by Mr. H. G. Sheridan, principal of the graded school. Mr. and Mrs. Hodson are English people, but the father has been employed in the cotton mills here for a year or so. They wish to thank the people generally for the many kindnesses extended to them in their trouble. Death of Charlie Adams. Little Charlie Adams, the ten-yearold son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Adams, died at the home of his parents in this city Monday night His death was very sudden, he being taken sick Monday afternoon. He was a pupil in the third grade at the graded school and exercises were suspended Tuesday on account of his death. The burial took place at the Simmons cemetery on Railroad Avenue Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, Rev. A. J. Foster conducting the services. Funeral of Hrs. Brabham. The burial of Mrs. A. M. Brabham took place at Sooth-end cemetery last Thursday morning at eleven o'clock. Long before the appointed hour a large crowd of friends had assembled at the house, and a long line of buggies and carriages follow! ed the remains to the cemetery. The services took place at the grave, being conducted by Rev. Peter Stokes in an impressive manner. At the conclusion of the burial service, just before the benediction was pronounced, a special choir composed Misses Pearle Counts and Birdie Gill and Mr. C. W. Rentz rendered in a touching way, "Face to Face." There was a very large crowd at the cemetery, in fact we believe it was the most largely attended funeral we have ever seen in Bamberg. White and black, rich and poor, all assemsembled there to show their love for the dead and their sympathy for the living, it was aroucnmg scene. The pall bearers were: Messrs. J. E. Felder, Max Walker. If. H.. Copeland. W. P. Riley, M. J. Black, and J. C. Moye, all young friends of the bereaved husband. The floral offerings were numerous and handsome, some beautiful pieces being sent from a distance. Two exceptionally handsome ones were those from "The young men of Bamberg" and from "The Social Dozen," a social organization of young matrons, of which Mrs. Brabham was a member. Mrs. Clio Cope Brabham was born in this town, and she was nearly twenty-two years old at tde time of her-death. She attended the graded school here and the Carlisle Fitting School, later being a student at Winthrop and Elizabeth college. She also studied music in New York for * * * i some time. She had heen amemDer of the Methodist church since earlychildhood, and for some years had been the organist there. She was always willing to he.p in church work in any way she could, and*was prominent in all social and church affairs. Her death is a great loss, not only to her husband and family, j but to a large circle of friends. She j will be missed by all of us. * SPEGIALJOTICES.
