THE BAMBERG HERALD Thursday, July 28.1904 tr*:. t Short Locals. When you want good job printing, bring your work to this office. Have you seen Thos. Black's pianos? They are "beauts" and have go^to go. The rains have made us all feel better and put the people generally in better spirits. r The watermelon shippers have been busy recently, while the prices were only fairly good. Better buy that organ now. They are v going fast. T. Black, Bamberg, S. C. Rev. Frank Willcock filled his regular appointment at the Presbyterian church here last Sunday. Work is going forward on the moving of the Methodist parsonage, to make room on the corner for the new church. Theodore Kohn is offering some special values for August, which will be moneysavers to our readers. Read the new ad. An informal and impromptu dance was given in the town hall last Monday evening, which was much enjoyed by those present. At the meeting of the State Dental Association last week, Dr. Geo. F. Hair, of ( this city, was re-elected vice-president of the Association. The dancing school, being conducted in the town hall by Mrs. St. Amand and her daughters, is largely attended, and the pupils are making rapid progress. The entries for county offices close Saturday, and we have heard of no new candidates. It is likely that those at present announced will be the only ones. Rev. M. W. Hook and family are occupying the boys' boarding hall at the Fitting School while the work of moving the Methodist parsonage is going on. Ni?Tt Mondav is the first Mo^ndav in the month and salesday. There is only one public sale, that by the sheriff of a lot in ^ town, which is being sold for taxes. Nothing like a Crown Organ for finish and tone, and the price and terms are right. T. Black, Bamberg, S. C. We are pleased to note that members of the Bamberg Guards made fine records at target practice during the recent encampment of the second regiment near Columbia. A "tacky party" was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Hooton last Monday evening, and the striking costumes worn by many of those present created much amusement. Mr. J. I. Kinard has bought what is known as the Patrick place, in the Southern part of town. He has made a number of improvements to the house and premises, and moved into it Tuesday. We've had the rain and we are all glad. Last Saturday night and Sunday fine rains fell here, the ground is good and wet, and crops are growing nicely. These rains saved lots of corn from almost utter failure. Nice lot of up-to-date felt hats at C. R. Brabham & Sons. Every well dressed man should have one. G. Frank Bamberg is having an artesian ?*/' _ well bored at his residence. Mr. J. M. Jennings is the contractor. He tried a gasoline engine bought of W. H. Gibbes Je Co., but it was so unsatisfactory that n? will discontinue its use. City council has had a force of hands on the street for several weeks, cleaning off the weeds and grass and putting the fc'/ , sidewalks in good ondition. All the streets of the town have been gone over and are now thoroughly clean. Lost.?One crescent stick pin with ruby setting. Reward if returned to this office. This office is extending its job work f trade all over the lower section of the State. We now fill orders from several adjacent counties, where we have regular customers. Good work, fair prices, and " prompt delivery tell the story. Try Thos.Black for any and all kinds of musical instruments, sewing machines and accessories. T. Black, Bamberg, S. C. Jno. R.

Brabham & Sons, at ana below cost, in order to make room for i large stock of goods just bought. ] Advertising space must be very cheap j in some of our exchanges if we" are to , judge by the advertising proposition of a ' magazine which we notice many of them ' have accepted. They are giving about : $6.00 worth of advertising for a $2.50 . magazine. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Black, Jr., sympathize with them in the loss of their infant son. The little one was about two months old and died last Thursday afternoon. The body was buried at the new cemetery Friday morning, Rev. M. W. Hook conducted the burial services. For Sale.?Ten thousand pounds fodder, five thousand pounds baled hay, and two standard-bred colts, one year old. J. W. Barnes, Cope, S. C. The Bamberg Guards returned home last Wednesday night frbm their trip to Columbia, where they were in camp for more than a week. Both officers and men appear to be well pleased with their trip and all things connected with the encampment. All seem to have enjoyed the outing. At the head of our editorial column every week is printed that no communication "of a personal nature will be published except as an advertisement. We mean this, for our space is our stock in trade. Personal or political notices are charged j for at regular advertising rates, and we would be glad for all to remember this. I H. F. Rice, Esq., has accepted an ap-' pointment as a member of the County' Board of Education. Mr. Rice and Mr. I W. L. Brooker, the re< ently elected prin-1 cipal of the Aiken Institute, have been j nominated by County Superintendent of j Education A. W. Sanders to succeed Messrs. W. S. Peterson and L. W. Dick,; both of whom have left the county. The , appointment of Messrs. Rice and Brooker j insures that the personnel of the county board will be kept up to its high standard.?Aiken Journal and Review. . *v Oar merchants will soon be going North to purchase goods for the fall ana winter trade. Remember that the first county campaign meeting is to be held in the, court house here next Monday. There is a right good crowd in town to-day, from different sections of the county, to attend the campaign meeting. Work has. commenced again on the new artesian well for the town, as the flow obtained would not hold or rather got so small that it was not sufficient. We return our most hearty and sincere thanks to our good friend, Mr. M. 0. Kinard, of the JEhrhardt section, for a large basket of the finest peaches we have seen In many a day. Judge C. G. Dantzler, of Oraugeburg. arrived in the city this morning, and the court of common pleas will be called at three o'clock this afternoon, the court house being used for the campaign meeting this morning. Only equity business will be heard. The Branchville baseball team came up Tuesday morning, and are to play three games with our boys. One game was played yesterday afternoon, one is to be Dlaved this afternoon, and the final game of the series will take place Thursday afternoon. All the games are to be at the new ball park. In the game of baseball here Tuesday afternoon between Bamberg and BranchI ville, the visitors won by a score of 8 to 7. The score was sis to one in Bamberg's favor up to the 8th inning, but loose playing on the part of our boys in the two remaining innings cost them the game. Games are to be played this ana to-morrow afternoons. A part of our force is taking a holiday this week, and as a consequence the editor and the balance of us are rushed considerably. On this account our report of the campaign meeting must be deferred until nest week. But what's the difference to our readers? They are not so much interested iu what the candidates have to say. Garris and Mayfield will get all the votes. Children's classes at the dancing school Tuesday and Saturday afternoons at six o'clock. Children only taught on these days. First lesson Saturday, the 30th. Parents cordially invited to attend. Regular classes forvoung men and young ladies Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. Private lessons given at any time. Thorough instruction. For further information apply to Mrs. E. A. St. Amand at Cope Hotel. The news of the sudden illness and death of Hon. H. H. Crum at Denmark Tuesday came as a great shock to our people." He was well-known and popular all over Bamberg county, and his many inenas ueepiy regrei m? uunuiuj u^?>.u. We expected him to leave off public matters in the future and devote his time and attention to his private affairs and to the building up and developing of his county and no doubt he would have done so. Cut down in the prime of life, his death is peculiarly a sad one. Oar Honor Boll.

Situated almost at the foot of Paris Mountain, the scenery is simply grand, while the climate is delightfully cool and invigorating. The handsome new hotel has every modern, convenience?bath rooms, electric lights and bells, waterworks, and elegant sanitary arrangements. The hotel is three stories high, and every room in it has an outside exposure. The furniture is all new and of the best, while the beds and linen are such as to make you sleep as soon as you get to bed. The fare is good, and the service is the best we have ever seen, in that all the employees, bell boys, waiters, etc., do not have to receive a "tip" to be polite and prompt. The manager of the hotel, Mr. J. A. Bull and his assistant, Mr. Taylor, with his force of clerks, never tire in their work for the pleasure and comfort of their guests, and it seems to be a pleasure to them, and the many unexpected attentions paid makes; this a delightful Dlace to spend some time. The water has as fine medicinal properties as can be found anywhere, and its effect upon children suffering from complicated cases of stomach trouble is simply wonderful. Some cases came under our observation which were little short of marvelous. The hotel has been taxed to its utmost capacity since its opening the first of June, even the old hotel and the cottages being full. People are there from Georgia, Alabama, Washington and many parts of the country, while there are numbers of the best people of South Carolina spending the summer there, and the social feature adds additional pleasure to one's stay. , A magnificent orchestra furnishes music every day and evening, and dancing is indulged in by many in the large ballroom, one of the handsomest and coolest we have ever seen. In short, if you are in search of health and pleasure, go to Chick Springs, and, our word for it, you will be pleased. - :-V,c:-3 . / ' .V . "V? . : ir- " ' Going to Beaufort. Rev. M. L. Lawson, who ha9 been pastor of the Baptist church for the past two , years, has accepted a call to the Beaufort church, and will move to that place next Monday. His wife and little son, who ! have been visiting relatives in Georgia* returned home Tuesday, and he is now packing up his furniture and making , preparations to leave. We all regret to give Mr. Lawson up. He is a man and cit; izen who is a valuable addition to any town, and has made many friends here , among all denominations. About an llonest Lawyer. I Over in Norwich, says the New York r Press, a farmer asked a leading lawyer to ' bring suit against a man who owed him $50. The lawyer said: ''What's the use? It will cost you more than $50 to win the case. This may seem strange advice; but my friend, an honest lawyer is the noblest work of God." The farmer learned next day that the lawyer was retained by the man he wanted to sue. He went back to his plodding with the remark, "Wal, I guess! An honest lawyer may be the noblest work of God; I knjw he's the scarcest." IN SHAKERTOWN In Shaker'cown the people all Shook late and early, large and small, Some blamed their ills on their religion; Some cursed the ague of the region, Though on the cause they didn t agree? They shook with unanimity. A traveler, as he passed that way, With pity deep, to them did say: "Oh, why in this sad state remain, When here's a cure for every pain ?" Then gave each one?this is no myth? A bottle labeled "Wintersmith." 'Twixt hope and fear each drank his share; Was cured completely then and there; And no more shake these shivering Shakers; They've grown as quiet as queer-clad Quakers; Each loves the other with love platonic, And all praise Wintersmith's great tonic.
