Folk has spent a lot of money on his house, but he certainly has I an up-to-date place. " l Even the small town of Fort Mill, in r Yorkville county, has electric lights.

The date of the farmers' institute to be held in Bamberg is Saturday, December 17th, and not November 17th, as we announced last week.

Shealey^ situated at his slaughter pen just below town, was destroyed by lire Monday night about eleven o'clock. It is not known how the fire originated. The building contained a lot of fodder and peavine hay, and the whole was totally consumed. The bam was practically a new structure, and cost $400. The forage was worth about $25, and the insurance was only $200, so Mr. Shealey's loss is $225 at least. It is doubtful if be could get tne oarn built now for the amount of its original cost. I can fit you in under suits from three days old to three hundred pounds. W. D. Rhoad. This is a good year, and everybody seems to be prosperous and to have plenty of money, yet our collections have not been as they should have been, considering the good times Many of our subscribers have paid promptly, in fact a large majority of ou r list promptly renew and pay in advance without any sort of notification. We have a few, however, who need ' to be notified, and we have been too busy this fall to pay much attention 'to colLections. We are still very busy, and it 1 takes lots of time to send "out bills. So we will adopt another plan which takes ( :>nly a little time. We will this week mark the papers of those whom we want to pay jp with a blue pencil mark. This notice . s not intended as a dun, and no one whose paper does not have this blue . nark need not pay any attention to it. , We have quit putting general duns in the . :>aper, for we always miss those for whom t is meant. But the blue mark on your { japer is a dun, and means that we want ' ind need the money you owe us. . The Federal Election. j The Republicans did not cut much fig- | ire in the general election in this county. The regroes took absolutely no iuterest, ind very few went to the polls. The total rote in the Federal boxes for the county ivas 891, and of this number J. 0. Patterson, the Democratic nominee for congress, received 865, while Isaac Myers, the Republican candidate for this office, received only 26. The total vote for presidential electors was 891, and the Democrats received 868 and the Republicans 23. If the vote for congress in the second district stood elswhere as it did in Bamberg, we do not see how it is possible for Myers to make a contest. New Advertisements. H. F. HOOVER.

In fact it was not known that she was seriously ill, and the news of her death came as a shock and a surprise to her relatives and friends in Bamberg. Mrs. Wilson was a daughter of Mr. Joseph Cobb, who for many years before the war operated a historic hotel at Pendleton. She was an aunt of Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, of this city.. In her girlhood she was married to Capt. Julius Smith, of Williamston, at one time captain of Gist's Rifles in the Confederate States army. He was killed in battle, and she afterward married a Mr. Wilson. The only child of her first marriage is Col. W. G. Smith, of Orangeburg. The body was brought to Bamberg on the five o'clock train last Friday afternoon and interred by the side of her husband in the old cemetery. Mrs. Wilson had made her home in Bamberg for several years, and even after the removal of Col. Smith to Orangeburg, she paid extended visits to relatives in this place. She had many friends in this community, to whom her many fine qualities had endeared her, and there was much genuine i sorrow over her death. Mrs. Wilson was 68 years old. She was a member of the Baptist church, and Rev. T. E. Lightfoot, of Orangeburg, conducted the services. Col. W. G. Smith and family, of Orangeburg, were over to attend the funeral. 'A Box of Monkeys." The young ladies and gentlemen comprising the Bamberg Dramatic Club are at present busily engaged in rehearsals for the laughable farce-comedy, "A Box of Monkeys," which they will present next Thursday evening (Thanksgiving Day) at Folk's new opera house. The play is one which is sure to attract, and the earnest way in which these young folks have gone about preparingfor its presentation insures a creditable amateur performance. The play is to be given for beneficent purposes, the money to be used by the Epworth League. Prices of admission will be within the means of all, and seats will be put on sale next Monday.

Thad Rising, 9 years old, son of Mr. Andrew Rising, living opposite the Dillon cotton mill, Dillon, was dangerously shot on Tuesday evening. He had been out hunting with a youug man who had an old gun that was not considered safe. Just as they got near home, in attempting to remove the shells, one barrel exploded, and the little fellow, who was a few feet ahead, received the whole load in the back, on a line with the hips. The wound is a fearful one, from which recovery is doubtful. The live stock dealers here are selling numbers of horses and mules these days.
