Iu Honor of Miss Guess.
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.
Mr. McCaskill's many friends here will
regret to know of his illness and hope for
him a speedy recovery: 1

board put in, and the service is now first- ]
elass in every respect. The old poles and j
wire have been torn down, and the old <
switchboard has been discarded. This
gives us an up-to-date telephone exchange 1
and as soon as the connecting lines be- <
tween this place and Barnwell is com- j
pleted, we will have connection with j
more than forty towns in the State. This
line will be built in the next month or so. ]
The lines for the exchange here have been ]
magnificently constructed, and will in- ;

J. T. Pearlstine. (
Mr. J. T. Pearlstine, of Brancliville, ^
who was well known to many of our
people, died last Friday morning at five ,
o'clock. He was buried Friday afternoon <
at the Jewish cemetery in Charleston by k
the side of his father. Mr. Pearlstine was
t>orn at Donnellsville, Abeville county, c
July 30, I860, and was therefore :V> years ,
of age at the time of his death. His
parents moveu 10 urancnvine wnen ne
was three years old, and lie had lived
there ever since, for the past 32 vears. .
Until the last year or so, when illness \
prevented, he had been managing head of
the firm of R. Pearlstine <fc Sons, and was
an eminently successful business man. 1
He had been sick for about two years, 1
and since that time their large mercantile 3
establishment has been ably managed by
A. Shep. Pearlstine, a younger brother,
who was a member of the firm.
Jacob Pearlstine had the respect and
confidence of those who kneAV him best. ,
He was thoroughly honest in business
transactions, and ail who dealt with him, *
trusted him. !
The deceased was one of the most ^
prominent business men of his town, and .
was the president of the Bank of Branch- 1
ville. He leaves a mother several sisters
and brothers, and many relatives.

Eiikiiakdt, July J).?Mr. C. M. Bishop,
who lias been in the employ of C. Ehrhardt
& Sons, will soon move to Fairfax
and open a livery stable there. We are
sorry to have him leave our little town
where lie commands the respect of all,
but what is one's loss is another's gain; i
so may it be with him.
It gives me pleasure to record that the
fourth of July picnic was a flattering success
and surpasses all former years. How- <
ever, the laurels must be tendered to the
family who has the distinction and honor <
of bearing the name of which the town is ;
a name sake. Mr. Ehrhardt gave his i
large and well shaded grove to tile pleas- ]
ure seekers. Croquet and carroms were i
the games that seemed to be the most i
(r until tliM mum-hour arrived. (
then the attention was directed to a long I j
table tilled to its utmost capacity with a <
tasty prepared dinner and delicacies to ]
appease the most fastidious appetite. ]
Rev. S. P. Chisolm -invoked the divine <
blessing, and after dinner the picnickers t
resumed their games until about three (
o'clock, when eight or ten freezers were t
set in motion. Then after a sumptuous i
feast of ice cream the crowd dispersed, ?
feeling thankful to the founder of our
town for the pleasant day they had spent. {

There is a charge against him for desert- f
ng and I have seen one man that was in ,

ic did desert just a few weeks before the

nore favorable than they were ten days li

"The cantaloupe season is now at hand t
uul those who are interested are market- c
ng the crop as rapidly as possible. Good p
prices prevail. A car load lot of the v

Rev. G. Edwin Stokes spent the whole I

brother, Hon. J. William Stokes. The ^

Stokes was a man of sterling
character. His death makes a vacancy in
the circle of true citizenship. His official
life was a continued battle for the ac- r
coniplishment of what he advocated, f
The institutions which demanded so much 1
labor from him, in order to be established, (
are now very popular,national enterprises r
of convenience. Rev. G. Edwin Stokes 1

ideals so predominant in the life of the t

of the surviving brother. i

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Something New Under the Sun."
All doctors have tried to cure catarrh j
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their
powders dry up the mueuous membranes
causing them to crack open and bleed, i
The powerful acids used in the inhalers j
have entirely eaten away the same membranes
that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many
years made a close study and specialty of
the treatment of catarrh, has at last perfected
a treatment which when faithfully
used, not only relieves at once, but permanently
cures catarrh, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and curing
aU inflammation. It is the only remedy
known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy is known as "Snuffles the
guaranteed Catarrh Cure" and is sold at
he extremely low price of one dollar,

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!"

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." The young elerk caught on exactly.
The other afternoon a young
woman entered the store and inquired of
the new clerk:
"Haveyou any postage stamps?"
"No, ma'am: we're just out of postage
stamps; but we have something just as
good."?Albany Journal.
