On last Wednesday-evening, July 3, at the home of Maj. E. R. Hays, there was given a well attended reception bv the ' accomplished young hostess, Miss ftibernia Counts, in honor of Miss Ilattie Lee , Guess, of Denmark. The home was , beautifully lighted up, even to the extent of making the moon in all of its grandeur grow dim as it shone on the magnificent , shrubbery below. The games were most certainly enjoyed by all, judging by the i interest manifested in them. While the ( games were being played courses of re- * freshments were served at different intervals. We can say without fear of contradiction that this was undoubtedly the greatest event of the season for the . younger people of Bamberg. Among those present were: Miss Hattie Lee Guess, of 1 crowd, many people from Blackville and Denmark coming down to witness it. Some fine plays were made by our boys, but they lost the game by costly errors. The score stood eleven to fourteen in favor of Blaekville. s No Preaching Sunday. The following letter explains itself.

All doctors have tried to cure catarrh j by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.

Mr. Chiissereau Replies. Editok Tiii: Bampkko ITku.m.o: In your issue of the 4th inst., there appears under "Khrhardt Etchings" a paragraph written by "Be Col" so palpably contradictory and false that I cannot afford to let it pass unnoticed. I have always known rottenness characterized politics but when it happens that a church, to enhance the value of its private property at the public expense, resorts to unjust means, it is time for it to go out of business. It is ail established fact that the council contracted for the well to be bored at Ehrhardt and located the spot in the middle of the cross streets between Messrs. Kinard, Chassereau. the parsonage, and opposite comer lot, on the lstii day of .Tune. Now listen to the Reverend gentleman: "The committee appointed by the last quarterly conference of Ehrhardt circuit for having the parsonage and lot repaired, met on last Thursday week. This committee happened to meet 011 the day before the town council decided on a location for the artesian well." Rut how could this be other than false, as Thursday week ago was the 20th or two days after the place was selected'! "One of the councilmen who wished it put closer to his own residence has accused and circulated the report that the above was a caucus meeting held for the purpose of having the well put at its present site"?-[Methodist parsonage.] A falsehood pure and simple. I wanted it put in the public square, the spot selected by the council 011 the 18th of June. Now listen: "This committee knew nothing of the well until the location had been decided on, and then their only request was that it should be put farther away." The location was selected on the 18th, the church committee met on the 20th, and they knkw notiiinc ok thk wkj.l. Strange indeed! "() temporal () mores!" J. A. Chasskkkai*. Ehrhardt, Julj* 8, 1001.

In .a drug store not many hundred yards from the capital is employed a clerk who has been just three weeks learning how to mix soda in anticipation of the summer rush of business in that particular line. He is an apt student of things pertaining to the drug business, and according to his employer, he does just as he is told. Iiis employer told him when he came to work that if anybody ever asked for anything that he didn't keep, he was to say, "We're just out of , but we have something just as good."
