Arrangements have been made for the appearance here of Alba Hey wood, the prince of comedians, and his excellent company on Saturday evening, the 24th instant, at the Carlisle Fitting School hall. Mr. Heywood has during the past ! ten years appeared in all the principal i towns and cities in the United States and established a reputation of which he is justly proud. He has returned many times to the same places, always meeting with unqualified success. From the opening to the elose of his season he is greeted everywhere QMth lorore ?nd flplicrhted audiences. The] reasons for his great success artistically financially are obvious. His comedy is always bright and delightfully refreshing, and while he convulses his audiences with laughter there is never the faintest suggestion of coarseness and vulgarity. His success in securing the very best artists to support him, his desire to equal or exceed the promises made in his advertising, and steadfast determination to "always keep the confidence of the people." These principals carefully followed out have made his name a household word and a positive guarantee of a first-class performance. The following testimonial is from Furman University, Greenville, S. C., and is signed by B. E. Geer: "Nothing but unstinted praise has reached my ears from those who were present last night at the entertainment given by Alba Heywood and his Peerless Company. I never saw an audience so thoroughly pleased. If this company ever returns to Greenville, (as I hope they will) they will l>e sure of an even larger audi?>m*p The hi?h moral tone of its mem hers and the excellence of the performance make it a pleasure to commend this company to those who love that which is best in music and amusement."

Among the many visitors to town last Monday, we noted the following gentlemen, whom we are always glad to see: Conrad Ehrhardt and C. R. Clayton, of Ehrhardt; H. N. Folk, of Folk's Store; D. O .Hunter, J. G. Rhoad and Dr. S. P. Rents, of Hartzog; H. B. Breeland, Bessinger and A. W. Bessinger, of Olar; L. L. Rice, I. G. Jennings and C. C. EllKey, of Denmark; Thomas Hutto and Dr. J. R. McCormack, of Govan; J. C. Breeland, of Kearse; Dr. E. Kirkland, of Colston ; D. B. Rhoad and G. J. Tucker, of Farrell's X Roads. Jim and His Jackass. Everybody knows% Jim Quattlebaum, [James D., officially) but everybody hasn't the honor of knowing Jim's latest purchase, a genuine Andalusian "Jack" from the olive-crowned hills of sunny Spain. This Jack, which will probably be named in honor of its owner, is thorough ly foreign, and arrived in a more or less battered condition on Monday last, by freight. It don't speak English as yet, and in order to converse with his new pet intelligently, Jim is practicing nightly on the Fitting School campus such labials as "Etcheley!" "Undeley!" "Vamose!" and"Vaya!" Bad Roads. Complaint has been made to us that the Cannon's bridge road is in very bad condition, being well-nigh impassable. It was also mentioned that the New bridge road as well as the Binnaker's bridge highway could stand some improvement, and we bring this to the attention of the proper authorities in the hope that it will result in these thoroughfares being put in good condition without delay. The trade of Bamberg should not be allowed to suffer on account of bad roads. Col. Counts Burned Out. Colonel T. J. Connts's fine residence on Railroad Avenue was totally destroyed by fire last Wednesday night, January 31, shortly after The Bamberg Herald went to press. - , __ v;_v _ l It was coin, tne winu was mgn a^ the time, and it is presumed that the roof of the building was fired by sparks from the chiiuney. A negro woman, in Colonel Counts's yard, was the first to discover the flames and give the alarm. At that time the fire was confined to the immediate vicinity of the chimney, and a bucket of water would have extinguished it. Most of our people being at supper a rescue party was slow in gathering, and the flames spread with great rapidity. Willing hands turned in to save the furniture, and most of that on the lower floor was got out. At one time the adjoining residence on the east, belonging to Col. Counts's sonin-law, Mr. S. H. Saunders, was iu great danger, but the fire was kept within bounds and the building saved. Col. Counts will not rebuild, and is living at present in the Saunders residence. He carried an insurance of $1,S00 on the dwelling, and the furniture was protected by a $500 policy. Country Fun. There was an old-time conntry... a .. . . V f) I pindar sheinng-rronc ar, inr. i>.

Upwards of fifty couples were present. There was love making in the moonlight, a supper, al fresco, on the lawn, and fireworks?the remains of Christmas?galore. Altogether it was a most enjoyable occasion, and if there is not garnered from this gathering a good crop of orange blossoms, with the accompanying "wedding bells,', it will be the fault of bashful boys.

A Former Bamberg County Citizen Found Dead Near Charleston?Coroner's Inquest Unable to Establish the Cause. The dead body of Mr. William C. Duensing, a former resident of Midway, well-known here, was found Tuesday morning, January 30th. lying along side the Atlantic Coast Line track at a point four miles from Charleston, known as the "Four-mile Curve," which is opposite Dislier's Pond. The body was claimed by Mr. Charles Duensing, a brother of the dead man, who resides at 577$ King St., I Charleston. Both brothers were employed on the day force at the Burton Lumber Company's plant, above Chicora. After | work hours Monday afternoon Duensing was seen riding his wheel towards the city. He passed Chicora at about 6.10. At this point his brother, Charles, with several other employees, boarded a suburban car and rode to the city. This was the last seen of Duensing until the discovery of his dead body by the living brother, who becoming alarmed because of William's long absence had gone in search of him. The body was found lying face downward about thirty-five feet from the bicycle, which was turned southward while the body was lying in an opposite direction. On one of the crossties about ten feet distant from the body, midway between it and the bicycle was a large splotch of blood. It may have been possible that the man's head hit the tie, which would account for a slight gash over the right eye. The left leg was twisted in such a position that it led to an examination, which proved it to be broken just above the ankle. No other bruises or gashes were found. The bicycle of the dead man was lying on its side, partly down the slight embankment. There were no marks or blows on it which would indicate that it had been struck by a train, except the fact that the left handle bar had been buried deep in the sandy clay. The clothes on the body showed no signs of having been cut, torn or otherwise tampered with, and a search resulted , in the finding of several wire nails, a pocket handkerchief and an order. The hat of the man could be found nowhere. ' Nothing that would throw light upon | the cause of the unfortunate young man's f death was develop< d at the inquest held on Wednesday. An examination of the skull showed it to be fractured, the result , of a blow received about two inches above the right eye. The right leg was found to be dislocated and there were numerous superficial bruises on different , parts of the body. It is possible that he may have been struck by a passing train and killed, or he may have been murdered. The mystery will never be solved, it . is likely. 1 As a mark of respect Carpenter's Union, . No. 159, visited the remains Wednesday ( night as they lay in Mr. Connelley's undertaking establishment. The body was shipped to Midway Thursday morning, where it was interred in the Duensing family burial plot, where the dead man's father and mother lie buried. Mr. Duensing was twenty-seven years old, and was to have been married in a few days. The young lady who was to have been his wife accompanied the remains to Midway, and her grief was pathetic in the extreme. Mr. Duensing was well-known here, and was universally respected. There is no better medicine for the babies than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It Kfto Koon hqoH in HISU cures CIUUJJ auu uao UV.VH uavu IU ten9 of thousands of cases without a single failure as far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing thus depriving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that the Bamberg County Teachers' Association will meet at the courthouse on Saturday next, February 10th, ou which occasion a constitution will be adopted and the plan of work for the association mapped out.

County Superintendent of Education Sease, notifies the teachers of Bamberg county that those who wish to teach the coming year must present themselves at the courthouse on Friday, February 23,for such examination. No provision is made for special examinations, and all those who wish certificates must present themselves and go through the regular mill. An Editor's Life Saved by Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy.

McMillan, of the Ehrhardt section, celebrated the half century anniversary of their marriage at their hospitable home on Wednesday, January 31st. There were present to congratulate the half-century married couple a host of brothers and sisters from three or four different counties, and relatives in a lesser degree from as many States. Three great tables accommodated the guests, and each of th:so boards was loaded with the delicacies of the Southland served in the most appetizing manner. Three clergymen, representing three distinct religions bodies, were present, and one of these reverend gentlemen presided at each of the tables. At No. 1, was Rev. J. H. Wilson, a Lutheran pastor; at No. 2, Rev. Henry Mouzon, of the Methodist faith, and at No. 3, Rev. Robert Williams, an exponent of the tenets of John the Baptist. A most enjoyable day was passed, and one of its most pleasant episodes was the presentation to the fifty . years' married groom of a beautiful gold-headed cane, the same being the gift of his brothers and sisters. Child Burned to Death. The two year-old daughter of Mr. ind Mrs. J. F. Kearse, Sr., of the Kearse section, was fatally burned on Tuesday morning, January 30th.

The remains of the little one were interred in the Kearse family burying ground on Thursday last, Rev. Henry Mouzon, of the Methodist church, officiating. State's Rum Business.

There were more people in town last Monday than one would naturally expect to see on sales day in February, and, judging from the prices paid for the real estate sold by the Master, they must have been some money in the crowd. Then, too, our collections for the day were good. There were no public sales except those made by Master T. J. Counts, and he sold the following properly : In the case of Conrad Ehrhardt, vs. J. Matthew Johns and others, fifty acres in Three Mile Township for $153. The Bank of Hampton was the purchaser, and A. Mclver Bostick, Esq., bid in the property for this corporation.
