force must have a little holiday.
v . Property is cheaper in Bamberg thhn
any town its size in the State, but it will

for the future.
Foe Sale.?A four-room house on an
acre lot, in the suburbs of Bamberg. This

g: this section.

to Florida in a short time, where they

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

or larger than in previous years.

You are missing great bargains if you

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.

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.

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.?

CURED PARALYSIS.
W. S. Bailey, P. 0. 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."
