THE BAMBEBB IEBJLLDT Thursday, Dec. 31, 1903 ' Short Locals. Remember to write it IIM'4 after to-?lay. Stock taking is going on this week in the stores of Bamberg. Our fanners are evidently preparing for a big crop the coming year. Our dealers are selling numbers of liorses and mules these days. G. Frank Bamberg received another car load of buggies this week. Honesty pays in the long run. but it! could do more business it it paid t. u. u. j The new brick building to be used as postoffice will soon be ready for occupancy. Mr. H. J. Bellinger, who has been living at Snioaks the past year, has moved to Norway. Cotton reached fourteen cents in New York this week, the highest it has been since the war. That portion of Railroad Avenue w hich was clayed a few months ago is sadly in need of repairs. The merchants are busy this week taking stock and getting straight after the Christmas rush. The merry-go-round packed up audleft town Monday, and there are none who mourn its departure. Have you paid your taxes yet ? A penalty of one per cent, will be added after! ' - - i to-morrow.

If the business done by Tiie Heuai.d increases as much in 1!?04as it has during, the past year, we shall be fully satisfied. The new subscribers are coming in : right along. We'll get the thousand new ones if they seep up at the present rate. The firm of Rhoad & Bamberg is to be dissolved on January first. Each mem-: ber of the firm will continue in business on his own account. On account of the bad weather the j prize drill of the Bamberg Guards was j not held on Christmas day. It will be 1 held some time in the near future. Judge I'urdy has refused a new trial in ! the case of Pearlstine against Insurance! Company. The companies will therefore appeal the case to the State Supreme Court. Most of the stores in town were open last Saturday, although very little business was done. In fact, some of our merchants didn't even close on Christmas day. Our living expenses have nearly doubled in the nast few years, yet the price of our j work is lower if anything. The necessaries of life are much higher than a few years ago. Get your Hour from M. Move. He handles Obelisk, the very best. Mr. J. M. Jennings spent the holidays with his family here. He is at present engaged in boring a well at Bluffton for a rich hunting club composed of Northern capitalists. It is unusual for no arrests to be made in Bamberg during Christmas, but such was the state of affairs last week. We! sincerely congratulate our people on their good behavior.

Mr. Brown has been in bad health for some time, and he noes in the hope that the climate tlmre will be beneficial to him. i Anions those who were spending the: holidays hen* were K. M. Hays. ?

A full description of the property can be seen in the advertisements in another part of this paper. The county board of commissioners will also meet here that day.

There was no <!is- i order of any kind on Main street, and the' excellent behavior of the lanre crowds | was especially noticeable.

Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the j tale, how a woman beat two hardware ! dealers in Girard, Pa. We tried our best to tret those men to sell Devoe lead-and-ziuc in that bright I town: and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs. i E R Bowman, druggist. They said they couldn't sell paint for | more than sl.io a gallon. Mrs Bowman can. She lia^ sold about all the paint, that has been sold there since. | She knew Devoe; had sold our artist's materials. Had some sense and force, I besides; she ea.>ily learned that cheap is j dear in paint, and told the people. Mr Burt Young bought a gallon Devoe *1 ' W - - _*!_ -- - 11 tor rooms Hint naa always laiieu a gaiiun of other paint: had half left. Mr E H Hiler, jeweler, painted Devoe, and says it goes further?no particulars. Mr John Hauna. grocer, thought it j expensive before he bought it: brought back nearly half of his paint, and said it j was the cheapest job he ever had. Mrs Bowman reports universal satisfaction. So much for a cheap-paint town with a bright woman in it. Yours truly F W Devok & Co '14 New York Death of Mrs. M. E. Adams. Mrs. M. E. Adams, the mother of Mr. Henry Adams, died at his residence near town on Tuesday of last week. She had I made her home for several years with her t son. She was about seventy-four years old, and had been a widow for many years. The burial took place at the Lutheran church near Clear Pond on Wednesday, the services being conducted by Rev. T. J. Saudifer. Mrs. Adams had been in bad health for some time, and her death was not wholly unexpected. Preliminary Hearing. Magistrate Ligbtsey held a preliminary last Monday in the case of Dave Johnson, charged with the shooting of Andrew Bennett at Midway one night recently, an account of which has already appeared in this paper. Bennett was not well I enough to he present at the hearing, but he is considered out of danger, and will j no doubt be all right again soon. I The result of this hearing was that i Johnson was bound over to the Circuit Court on the charge of assault and bat! tery with intent to kill, the amount of his i bond being tixed at live hundred dollars. ' !! - cave tin- '><,nd and was released. Testimony was given blowing that ; John.->11V gun was examined shortly , after the >h'>otiug '>v a prominent gentle' man of that section and found to have 1 been !re>hly >hot. and was then loaded with the-ame kin J of -hot Bennett was iiit with.

Gone is the Fun-maker, The little hearts of the town are sore j this week, there is a hunger which can- j not be appeased and all because the merry- j go-round has left the town. When, dur- j' iug the past month, the daily rounds ofj play life had become tiresome, there was j a spot iu the middle of the town where a i few happy moments were guaranteed. | The raff-time music which has been echo-! W I ed throughout the day as well as night, is | now silenced. All that remains is one j huge circle marking the place where the merriment was wont to be indulged in by j all sizes and ages, not to mention the | classes. There are those who wish for j an early return o? the fun-maker, and it may be that a few tears will be shed, but what's the use for it has gone. And we older folks are mighty glad of it. A Crate Factory Suggested. To whom it may concern: From the experience the writer has had in the manufacture of fruit and vegetable packages, the continued increase and demand for such wares, the conveniences and abundance of old field pine, poplar and gum timber to this place, the unexcelled advantages that Bamberg enjoys in freight rates over the Southern Railway, leads me to believe that **2,000 or $2,500 invested in a factory for the manufacture of packages of all kinds, if properly managed, will not only pay for itself the first twelve months but pay a very handsome dividend, besides open up a market for this class of timber, a great deal of which is in the way of the farmer and is hard to get rid of, but will give employment to twenty or more men and boys and bring - A A A - aaa AAA irom *10,000 lO *Sl/,OUO uuiiuis m uciau iu the county, the most of which will be put in circulation at home. For the last three or four years, this and Baruwell couuty have paid out over j *7.5,000 for asparagus and cantaloupe crates and baskets. There is always demaud for crates, drums, barrels, and baskets of some kind for marketing fruits and vegetables. Besides, if carefully managed, it is an ail around cash business, therefore perfectly safe. The same veneering machines, etc., that will pare out this lumber from round blocks will get out 1 a material for boxes, baskets, barrels, drums, and crates. The writer will not only take several shares of stock in an enterprise of this kind, but will give all his experience in keeping up the machinery and the general labor and skilled management of the business, at a very nominal compensation for his entire time and exertions. He is now making a good living for himself and family, with offers that will pay double what he would charge to run this factory. He expects to make Bamberg his future home, therefore he is willing to link himself with the enterprising"men of the place, and assures them that he will be t/-v tl,n trust nlnrPil nil him. if SO honored, and their interest will be first, last aud all the time his greatest pride.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst the worst ills of life. The man or woman who is subject to headache at irregular intervals, goes through life bearing a load of misery and wretchedness that is terrible to think i of. I Headaches as a rule, result from a disordered condition of the nervous system. Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting causes. When the brain becomes tired and debilitated, the whole nervous system is weakened, and headaches result. If the liver is sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion deranged, headaches invariably follow. To cure and prevent headache, the nervous system must be strengthened and vitalized. The most persistent cases of headache, nervous feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the great reconstructant of the nervous system. Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich., tells of her release from suffering as follows:? 441 have been troubled with dyspepsia and sick headache for a number of years. About every week I would have a bad spell of sick headache, but since I began using Paine's Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and I do not have any more headaches. I feel better than I have for years." No Need Soiling the Hands with DIAMOND DYES Diamond Dyes are easy and cleanly to use. Made for home economy; never disappoint.
