Hardly a day passess but what there is one of these delightful gath- ^ erings down there. The builders of the railroad from ev< Ehrhardt to Bamberg are now making final arrangements for the steel att rail, and in a short time the work of track laying will begin. It is hoped to have the road ready for traffic by the opening of the fall season. , We return thanks to Miss Gladys CHI Wilson Johns for an invitation to aft attend the thirty-fourth annual comclCC mencement of Breneau College-ConD0C 6ervatory at Gainesville, Ga., May * 2$rd to 27th. Miss Johns is a member of the graduating class with the degree of A. B. . sh( Next Monday, May 26th, is the ser date of the next count in The Her- poi aid's contest, at which time $10 in wa gold will be given to the contestant me making the greatest gain since the we last count. Work is what counts, ' young ladies, and you will have to cie work if you want to win this special mo g? prize, as the votes are piling up tne rapidly. Mr K' - ' i We are indebted to our, young " friend, Harry E. Copeland, for an in- S0E bef vitation to attend the fifty-seventh annual commencement exercises of ^ ha< Newberry college, to be held June 8th to 11th. Mr. Copeland and Mr. t0 E. W. Rentz, both of the Ehrhardt f0T for section of this county, are members of the graduating class, with the de- me gre ol A. B. the An It is said that the petitions circulat- t0 < ed in this county asking for an elction ] on the question of dispesary or no apg dispensary have been numerously } signed in some sections. Whether f0r enough signatures nave been obtain- otl ed to make the election a certainty is not yet known. These petitions tja] must be in the hands of the county p(n supervisor by the first of June, and if the election is held it will be in Au- y0i; gust. sha Mr. Jones A. Williams has bought ^ the lot next to the residence of Mrs. J. H. Armstrong, and is making prep- tha arations to erect a modern ginnery the thereon. This is the lot on which is *nS situated the swimming pool and fish ma pond, built there several years ago tha by the late H. J. Brabham. The lot contains a number of pine trees, as ha\ well as ornamental shade trees and S^a shrubbery, and these are being re- C0E moved to make way for the ginnefrv. ^'O1 ? C3.ll Mr. C. W.. Rentz and Dr. 0. D. , do Faust are at work on an old-time fiddlers' convention, to be held in the Carlisle School auditorium the first ^ part of July. Circular letters an- 0f nouncing the convention have been tjle sent out, and it is proposed to make the occasion a big thing for Bam- }ar, berg. These fiddlers' conventions are cou held elsewhere, and are great sue- ma cesses, and we feel sure Messrs. Rentz ga] and Faust will make the one to be t 1 held here a most enjoyable occasion. sur Policeman J. W. Jennings 'is ' ' X1? i ?V n.ViAn if />om OC to at. rignt on cut; juu i cleaning up the town. The mayor and the city officials are taking re- He newed interest in having the entire Pr city put in a sanitary condition and ?th kept so and Mr. Jennings is paying 1 special attention to giving the town s*e a thorough cleaning. Now let's have br some rigid ordinances aoout putting trash and paper in the streets or scattering it on one's premises, and let J them be enforced. This will materi- aw ally lessen the job of cleaning up. Pio Dr. The Herald does not mind boom- ere ing any public enterprise, but we j most seriously object to publishing a mQ' lot of free notices for any organization and then have them carry the , work there is any money in elsewhere. We have been subjected to a good deal of this sort of treatment soc in times past, and must state kindly but positively that we will not do so any more. Don't bring us an your free work and then forget all about ah] us when you have something that toe must be paid for. th< q The remodeling of the stores of G. gu A. Ducker & Brother and G. Moye x? Dickinson have been completed, and * a cu A. P. Beard has moved back into the store of Mr. Dickinson, the same one he had been occupying before the remodeling. W. A. Klauber, who had ^ been occupying the larger store of nri Mr. Dickinson, will move back into it this week. He is now occupying the Hoffman store, next to the post an office. A new concrete sidewalk has pobeen built in front of all three ab stores, and the improvements add dr; materially to the appearance of that lar side of the street. th< New Advertisements. John F.
