Wedding bells are ringing in several sections of the county this week. The graded school suspended exercises Tuesday for the Christmas holidays. There has been the usual Christmas scarcity of eggs, and the price is high. The Fitting School suspended exercises last Friday for the Christmas holidays. Attention is directed to the notice of Bamberg Banking Company, in another column.

It is Christmas, and our hardworked force must have a little holiday. v . Property is cheaper in Bamberg thhn any town its size in the State, but it will not remain so. It is a wise man who buys now.

Foe Sale.?A four-room house on an acre lot, in the suburbs of Bamberg. This j property will be sold at a bargain. Apply at this office. From the crowds on our streets this week, one would not suppose there was any such thing as a scarcity of money in g: this section. Mr. J. E. Brown and family will move to Florida in a short time, where they will live in future. His mother, will acIP&. company them. Many of our boys and girls are at home from college for the holidays, and the t.mrn will hp livplv in a social war for the next few weeks. P We trust all our correspondents will make a resolution to write us every week L; during next year?and keep it. We have plenty of room for their letters. How many days will the merchants of Bamberg close their stores for Christmas ? In some towns in the State the stores will be closed Fridav and Saturday. 1 The amount received by Confederate pensioners in Bamberg county for the year 1903 was $1,586.15. Some counties received over ten thousand dollars. . G. Frank Bamberg has just received eighty head of mules and horses. He has more stock in his stables than any dealer in this section. See him before you buy. Next year is election year, and you will want to keep up with the campaign news. >: The Herald will keep you posted for only one dollar, so let us have your name We trust that work will soon commence J on our new graded school building.

A year's subscription to The Bamberg Herald^wouM be a good present for some of your friends. Send us your dol? lar and the name of the person to whom you want it sent. We'll do the rest. " . ' Mr. Otis Brabham is able to be out on the streets again, after a confinement to the house of many months. His condition is much improved, and his many friends trust he will be all right again before long. You are missing great bargains if you are not attending the cost sale at Mrs. M. L. Uounts's store, one is closing out ner lines of dress goods, notions, etc., at cost, as she will handle millinery exclusively next season.. The families of Rev. J. H. Stoudenmire and Mr. J. B. Black, of the Farrell's Store section, moved to town last week, and they are occupying the Grimes residence on Railroad Avenue, which they have purchased. Have you ever noticed the number of buzzards that seem to be very much at home in and around Bamberg? There must be something wrong with the sanitary condition of the town, or they would not congregate here. Our authorities should investigate. See G. Frank Bamberg's new lot of stock before you buy a horse or mule. He has animals suitable for all purposes. Hayne F. Rice, Esq., has moved into the residence vacated by Mr. Henry J. Brabham, which has been purchased by Mr. Rice. Mr. Brabham is boarding at his father's for the present. -Dr. H. F. Hoover has moved into the residence vacated by Mr. Rice, which he has pur-1 chased. Capt. W. A. Riley will move back into their house, which Dr. Hoover has been occupying. A few overgrown trees at bargain prices to close out. Maybe you have been intending sending to our nurseries for trees or flowers, but still neglect to do so. Remember, delays are dangerous. Remember, too, that our prices are just half and sometimes ouly a third of agent's prices. Bamberg Nurseries. We wish all our readers a happy and joyous Christmas. In the year just ending we feel that we have done our full duty by them in the way of publishing the "best paper Bamberg county has ever had, and we are grateful for the support received and words of appreciation spoken. We shall put forth our best efforts to make the paper still better in the year to come. In fact it is our purpose all the time to make our next week's issue better than the present one. Funeral of Mr. C. I. Barton. The body of the late C. I. Barton was laid to rest in the new cemetery last Thursday morning at ten o'clock. The local lodge of Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member, acted as an escort of honor, marching in front of the hearse containing the coffin. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. W. Hook, pastor of'the Methodist church here, Mr. "Barton having been a member of the church for a number of years. A p umber of relatives and friends from different parts of the State were here to attend the funeral. Mr. Barton carried insurance amounting to $1,000 on his life in the National Union, a fraternal insurance concern, and this will no doubt be paid. As he was unmarried, the policy is payable to his family. Ot r Agents.

The family of Capt. W. A. Riley has arrived and are occupying their residence on the corner of Main ana Church streets. Their many friends are indeed glad to welcome them back to Bamberg. Wholesale Establishment at Denmark. It seems that Denmark is to have a wholesale grocery established there in the near future, according to the following paragraph taken from the Columbia correspondence of the News and Courier: "J. H. Moorehead, of Savannah, who contemplates establishing a wholesale grocery at Denmark, was in the city this morning, and called upon the railroad commission with a view to obtaining Columbia rates on freitrht shiDced to that point. Tlie commission has* no authority to fix rates on Inter-State goods, and Mr. Moorehead wished the commission to take up the matter with the Inter-State commerce commission. The latter body howI ever, has nothing to do with the fixing of rates and can only see that there is no exorbitant charges." Conrt Proceedings. When we went to press last week the case of Pearlstine against Insurance Companies was being tried. It was finished Wednesday night, the trial consuming the most of two days. The jury found for the plaintiff after short deliberation. Thursday court adjourned in order that J udge Purdy might attend a meeting of the Circuit Judges in Columbia. Friday the case of Willis against the Southern Railway was tried/the case also consumed part of Saturday. The jury found a verdict of $650 damages for the plaintiff. Court adjourned about one o'clock Saturday, and Judge Purdy left the same afternoon for his home in Sumter. A motion for a new trial in the Pearlstine insurance case was argued Saturday morning, and the Judge reserved his decision. Death of Mr. R. S. Howell. Mr. R. S. Howell, a most estimable young man, died at the home of his parents in St. George last Friday afternoon at four o'clock. He had lived in Bamberg for the past year and clerked in the store of L. A. Klauber. Mr. Howell was taken sick on Saturday before his death, and had gone to his home at St. George Wednesday morning. Pneumonia was the cause of his death. He had weak lungs, and this'was his third attack of pneumonia. The burial took place at St. George Sunday morning. Mr. Howell had made many friends in Bamberg, and there is much sorrow over his untimely death. He was about 25 years old and unmarried. An application has been sent Governor Heyward asking the pardon of Anderson Nix, of Barnwell county. Nix killed the t-r?ai?oViol ond ttoc pnn T-iptoH of miir. bunu iuaxouoii uuu if mu wu i avwu vx wux der in 1897, but his petition recites that the act was unintentionally done and in fact, so says the paper, it has never been conclusively proved that Nix was the murderer as the public square where the killing occurred was crowded at the time. The regular procedure of submitting the application to the solicitor and judge who acted at the trial will be observed.? The State. A COSTLY MISTAKE. Blunders are sometimes expensive. Occasionally life itself is the price of a mistake, but vou'll never be wrong if you take Dr. King s New Life Pills for dyspepsia, dizziness, headache, liver or bowel troubles.

True, Tex., writes: "My wife had been suffering five years' witn paralysis in her arm, when I* was persuaded to use Ballard's Snow Liniment which cured her. 1 have used it for sores, frostbites and skin eruptions. It does the work." 2oc, 50c, $1.00. Dr. H. F. Hoover. With Haml$t Left Out. "While Joseph Jefferson was brewing a 1 toddy for himself and his distinguished gfiest, ex-President Cleveland, he descanted at length on the high art of preparing a hot Scotch, says the Philadelphia Ledger. "If I do say it myself," observed the host, "I have an especial gift for serving hot Scotch. Billy Florence used to say I should have been a barkeeper. Now, try this, Mr. Cleveland, and let me know your verdict." Several times Mr. Cleveland tested the steaming liquid thoughtfully, naming the ingredients as he identified them. "Nut meg?lemon?sugar" he mused approvingly. "But I don't imagine you would hold a position as barkeeper very long." "What's wrong?" queried Mr. Jefferson anxiously. "You might be a great success as attendant in a hot water hospital," said the ex-president. "But as a compounder of delectable drinks you're certainly a failure. You've forgotten to pour in the Scotch." . "Whenever you find," says an exchange, a man uttering unfavorable criticism of the local paper, open it up and ten to one he hasn't any advertising in it, five to one never gave it a job of work, three to one he does not take the paper, two to one if he is a subscriber he is delinquent, and even odds that he never does anything to assist the publisher to run a good paper. Marvelous Escape from Death! PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Does a Wondrous Wori for a Lady Who Was Almost Crazed with Pain and Suffering. It is well known that terrible rheumatism, sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helplessness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of the other diseases that afflict humanity. 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. Margaret Bethel, of Brainerd, 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 suf| ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also ! with rheumatism in the whole body. I began : taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon found I was much better. Before taking the j 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 on/T norV until T u:a<s 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 T-! l!.t 1 i acre are many ways in wnicn uiamona Dyes will help you.
