The July term of court for this county is to convene here on the fourth Monday in next month. This term was not held last year, but it will no doubt come off as usual this year, as there are some important cases to be tried aud the attorneys representing the parties will no doubt object to doing away with the term. We understand there was a very heavy hail storm in the Olar section Wednesday y afternoon of last week, which did much damage. Orowiug crops and fruit trees were badly beat up by the hail, and in some sections even the roofs of houses were badly damaged.

Both were knocked down, but Osteen was able to get up in a short time and continue playing. Dukes was forced to quit playing, and had to receive medical attention.

Sandifer, the mother of Rev. T. J. Sandifer, died at the home of her son, D. A. Sandifer, in Columbia, Wednesday morning of last week, after a short illness. It is true that her health had been bad for some time, but the illness which caused her death was of only a few days duration. Apoplexy or heart failure was the immediate causeof her death. The body was brought to Bamberg on the train last Thursday morning, and the burial took Elace at Springtown church, the services eing conducted by Rev. M. L. Lawson, pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church. The funeral was largely atteuded by the friends and relatives or the family. ' Mrs, Saudifer was about sixtv-five years old, and was the widow of Cucious Sandifer, who has been dead for several years.

The . burial took place at Spriug Braueli church Tuesday morning, the services be? ing conducted by Rev. M. L. Lawsou. r "I have been troubled for some time with indigestion aud sour stomach," says i Mrs. Sarah W.

The Guest of Honor at Reception by Young Men. And has it been ever thus that June should greet us with naught but smiles ? A reward for work completed, whether well doue or otherwise we know not, but certainly a reward we have. The commencement season is at an end, boys and girls have returned to their old places. Now begins a series of entertainments which have hitherto made the summer moDths most popular in Bamberg. Thursday evening at the Cope hotel the young men of the city gave a most delightful sociable from nine o'clock uutil the small s\f ntnrninnr This was the first of "WUIl w the series of events which Bamberg witnesses each summer. Miss Daisy Lide, of Peudleton, who is spendiug time with Mr. and Mrs. Miles J. Black, was the gue9t of honor. The decorations which were added to the building enhanced the beauty of the hotel a great deal. The Japanese lanterns on the piazza was an outward show of the inward merriment and enjoyment which was being indulged in on the inside of the hotel. A game which involved one's knowledge of history was the first amusement of the evening. This being carried out to a happy finish, an auction sale was held. At the cry of Mr. L. A. Klauber, many old bachelors were sold at fancy prices. Each youug lady, rather thau remain an old maid, bought unto herself an old bachelor, who, as soon as the sale was over, escorted her to the festal board. Here, too, nothing was lacking, well arranged courses were served in a mauuer pleasing to the most fastidious. After the adjournment from the diuiug hall to the parlors, the prizes were awarded to the winners of the contests which had been held in the early part of the evening. Mr. V. W. Brabham delivered to the winnei'9 their rewards in neat little pieces of oratory. Miss Daisy Lide, the winner of the first prize was .presented with a copy of "Gordon Keith," Thomas Nelson Page's latest work. Miss Sadie Johnson received as the second prize, "The Lion of the Lord," a popular novel, also recently published. Miss Elise Bamberg and Mr. D. M. Eaves were the successful contestants for the consolation prizes?two pipes in w hich they might smoke and find some consolation in their contentment.

The catalogue of the Carlisle Fitting School has just been issued. We desire to note some of the more important facts as given here. Prof. H. G. Sheridan, for the past two years Head Master of the instiiution, has been retained. The Board acted wisely. Prof. Sheridan is not only a successful teacher and dis ciplinarian but also a representative of the parents whose sous and daughters are his students. Enjoying the esteem and close friendship of every student, he makes a great contribution not only to the intellectual but also to the moral manhood of the students. In his department of mathematics and science, he will still be assisted by Miss Pet Stephens, who has been associated with Prof. Sheridan since his connection with the school. We do not hesitate to say that no happier selection could have been made. The selection ol Miss Stephens has the endorsement of the whole body of students as well as that oi the community abroad. She fills her place in the girls' boarding department and in the school-room with entire satisfaction. In the departments of English and history, and of Latin and Greek, we observe that Prof. W. C. Owen and Prof J. Clifton Redmon have been elected These young raeu are graduates of Wof ford College. No higher tribute could be paid than that paid by Dr. Jas. H. Car lisle and President H. N. Snyder, ol Wofford College. They are well equippec by training and experience, having taker at Wofford College the normal course foi teachers. They bring with them ability young life and enthusiasm which will adc I thought to the faculty. In the depart ment of music Mis Jennie Wait Foster, i I graduate of Columbia Female College anc | a student of music in the Chicago school has been elected. She comes most high ly educated and endorsed. Mrs. Josephine Beach, the popular anc emcieui matron 01 me gms uumumg uv partmeut, has been retained in her posi tion. She is quite au addition to tin school, and the institution is quite fortu nate to have her services. The Carlisle Fitting School offers tlire courses in her curriculum: A preparativi for the Freshman class; a preparative fo the Sophomore class, and a preparativi for a successful entering on of busines life. This last course is prepared for thos young men and youug women who canno afford a college course. We have here in our midst the oppoi tunity offered to our young people for : thorough education at a most reasonabl cost. We understand that a student ii all departments can spend a year here a the low cost of $107, paying for boart tuition and all fees. To the young peopl of our town, this educatiou is offered fo the sum of $35. When we cousider tb advantages offered: a fine library, tw hue debating societies, the association i the class-room with teachers, and wit young men and youug women from a parts of middle and lower South Carolim we esteem it an opportunity enjoyed b but few communities. We are glad that there is a bright oui look for the next session. Now, let th people of Bamberg give this iustitutio thMn will the school occup ?*-? , a warmer place in their hearts. The scho< deserves it, therefore it claims it. Death or Little Tlielma Free. Little Thelma, daughter of Mr. and Mr B. F. Free, passed from this earth Sui ' day afternoon about 5 o'clock. She wi i two years and four mouthk old, and ha been seriously ill for the. past week. A was done that skilled hands could do, bi the Lord knew best. Oh ! how we wi ; miss her and how they will miss her ; 5 home. We all loved her, but God love 1 her best. She was a sweet and lovir i child, and was loved by everybody. Hi i death was not a surprise to those wt s knew how sick she was. The burial toe r place at Springtown Monday morning j 11 o'clock, the services being conduct* j by Rev. M. L. Lawson. To the bereavi parents we extend our sympathy. Aani hen you are in need ock always complet -RANK Baseball News. The Bamberg team has arranged for j several games of ball to be played in the ! near future, most of which are to be i , played at home. This (Wednesday) afternoon a team from St. George, composed of an aggregation of hired players from Charleston and elsewhere, will come up for a game, and while Bamberg's team is rather weak just at present, it is safe to say that we will interest them. Osteen has gone with the Orangeburg team as a hired man, and will play with St. George this afternoon. ^ 4 ^ ? ? b tr ntVni' i uenmara is 10 cuiuf ncic muai auv< noon of this week for a game. It is supposed that this will also be a good game, for no doubt some of Orangeburg's hired men will make up a good part of the Denmark team.. Next Tuesdaj', the 30th, Orangeburg will no doubt come over, and this will very probably be a battle royal. Bamberg has beaten Orangeburg twice already this season, and they are anxious for revenge. However, it is still possible that we can show her hired players a thing or two. We understand that her team now is composed largely of hired plaj'ers. The Bamberg boys will likely go to Aiken Wednesday of next week for one game that afternoon, the 1st of July, and then Aiken is to come here for a game on the afternoon of the Wednesday following, the 8th. It will thus be seen that our boys are to face some good ball players in the next few weeks, and if they are to come out victorious they will have to play mighty fast ball. Branchville's Message. Bkanchvili.e, June 22.?In celebrating her fourth anniversary we do not believe that The Bamberg Herald has as yet reached the pinacle of its success or the zenith of its power, but with the loyalty and support which it deserves, will continue to make itself a powerful "factor for good and a danger to evil.^By the assiduous care, devotion to duty, and integrity of purpose of the editor, we believe The Herald will increase in strength aud iu1 fluence, and will be recognized by the Bamberg people as one of the best county papers iu this portion of the State. The baseball games at Bamberg attracted considerable attention here, aud many of the enthusiasts took advantage of the opportunity to witness some excelleut | playing. Now that this is a growing tobacco district, why not establish a warehouse here,! where the growers can assort and sell their products? As it is now the farmers are compelled to send their tobacco to other oortious of this State to be sold, whereas if the business men were alive to their best interests they would erect suitable buildings for this purpose. Shall we take . advantage of this excellent-opportunity j or wait until the business raeiT "of other ; town, more energetic aud quicker toirp-J predate the beuefits to be derived from such enterprises, come forward, take advantage of our apathy and thus leave us, too much imbued with the sentiment of j conservatism, to look to others for advancement along industrial lines ? In this age of keen competition aud industrial combinations this town is in sore > need of an organization like the business league, so that there may be unity and strength in everything that tends to our material and moral upbuilding. Some such organization is needed to facilitate ' trade, to stimulate agriculture and commerce, to enhance the value of laud, to encourage as much as possible the various enterprises, to observe closely the intricate aetails of modern business transactions, to improve the condition of the I roads, to prevent discrimination, to guard . against hasty and precipitate misappreI hension, to foster education and to eni deavor by all honorable means to promote the social and economic welfare of J < the town. In order to effect such results there must be no preconceived prejudices ! or petty bickerings, but only the ultimate determination to succeed even at the cost i of a little personal pride or pecuniary injury in the beginning. It is by these means that we shall attain that ideal posij tion which is so earnestly to be desired , and which can be secured by simply striving after it. A rather youthful lot of witnesses went from here to Orangeburg Friday to testi, fy before Justice Brunson's court in an , alleged case of assault and battery com, mitted by one of their number over a year ago while playing. The school trustees have unanimously . re appointed the teachers of last session, ' which include Superintendent W. P. > Etcnison, of Spartanburg, and assistants, ; Mrs. W. P. Etchison and Miss Louise . Crowder, of Virginia. The past session t has been one of the most successful in tbe ? history of the school, and both parents and teachers are gratified with the good work accomplished. The enrollment was . larger than heretofore, and the pupils ? were accomodated with more ease and . I comfort. The surroundings were more f attractive, and the standard was raised so I as to enable the graduates to enter tbe i Freshman class of the various colleges in r the State without any difficulty, while the commencement exercises were proj nounced by able and impartial critics to . be of distinguished merit and worthy of i the highest commendation. 1 On Sunday a large delegation from here took advantage of the cheap rates to . Charleston and the Isle of Palms. Saturday being pay day with theSouth1 em Railway, "booze" was in evidence, . and as a result a few will have to face . "Jedge" Byrd at the next meeting of the e town council. Mr. T. M. Dukes, of Rowesville, was iu town Friday, e Mr. W. F.

The great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Compound make it the only trustworthy specific for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial letters from the most prominent people of the land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound has banished these terribly fatal troubles when all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar garet Bethel, of Drainerd, Minn., after thirty years of agonizing tortures had a desire to end her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she almost prayed for the time to lay it down. Heaven-directed, she made use of Paine's Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life once more. She says:? "For thirty years I have been a great sufferer from neuralgia in the head, and also with rheumatism in the whole body. I ljegan taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon found I was much letter. Before taking the Compound, my life was such a burden that I almost prayed to lay it down. I was bedfast every two weeks with horrible pain in the head, back, and neck, until I was almost crazed. I am able to do harder work and more of it today than for twenty-five years. I am really enjoying life again, thanks to Paine's Celery Compound. I am satisfied that my life has been prolonged many years by its use." Diamond Dyes Color Anything Any,Color There are many ways fawhich Diamond Dyes will help you.
