Christmas cards at The Herald Book Store. E. T. LaFitte, Esq., has bought the Barton property on New Bridge street. This is the residence of the late Dr. D. W. Barton, and is a large, two-story house. We learn that one of the managers of the carnival recently held at Branchville, is sick at one of the hotels in that town and it is claimed that he has smallpox. Large bunch celery at M. Moye's. G. Frank Bamberg will receive another car load of horses and mules this week. He has the greatest number for you to select from,- and prices and terms are light. Messrs. H. Spann Dowling and J. P.

The appealed case from this county to the State Supreme Court, of W. E. Osteen against the Southern Railway, has been rattled out of court, and the railroad com pany abandohed the appeal. l|vv In the State Supreme court last Wednes day the appealed case from this county of Annie Lee Lancaster et al against RichBp^, ard P. Lee et al was heard. Mr. Jas. F. Hjfe ' Izlar made an argument for the appellants Kk; and Mr. E. T. LaPitte for the respondents. ?p?. , Fastidious buyers always purchase their HkJ Xmas gifts from G. E. Bamberg. The proposition of Rev. S. A. Nettles was reconsidered by the South Carolina conference last Monday, as it was found that the contract with Mr. Waddell for publishing the Advocate extended for two B - years longer. So the matter rests until Ept; i next year. As will be seen by the appointments published in this issue, Rev. M. W. Hook, who has served the Bamberg charge for ; . ? the past four years, goes to Laurens, a desirable appointment. Our best wishes gifts go with him. His place here will be filled by Rev. W. T. Duncan. Bp; The finest celery at Moye's *or people read this newsHfcx; paper, but we don't like for people toborrow it from their neighbors. Take a paper of yonr own and pay for it like a man whether you like the editor or not, and v be happy in the feeling of independence V. that accompanies manliness. " " " 1 *J" !n DTrorr. iljr. J11. C&UlUCIg S BWU1 piuo 1u viuj body's ties. In this issue Mr. F. F. Jones advertises that he will sell at public auction in front ; of the court house in Bamberg on Tuesday, January 3rd, the five tracts of land recovered by him in the case of Greig & Jones vs. W. Brooks Rice and others. These lands are situated at and near Lees and are very valuable. The Masonic grand lodge approved the wise administration ef Grand Master Jno. R. Bellinger by re-electing him to that position. That body also sustained the Grand Master's views regarding the proposed change in the law in reference to the physical qualifications of applicants for membership in the order. . Everybody can afford it! Everybody mnsthaveit! What? G.E.Bamberg's up-to-date Xmas presents. Mrs. Geo. A. Brickie died at her home in Elberton, Ga., December 13th. after an fe: illness of several weeks. Mrs. Brickie . was still very young and loved by all who knew her. She was a consistent member of the Baptist church. She leaves a dekqn-:' voted husband and four little children, ',* besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. k-^ Live trade, like live people, like honest ' V^.r. nmn olcuars find thorn in f- KUUUB 1 1UU vau ? W;\ in gold and silverware at G. E. Bamberg's. The burial of Dr. J. F. Baggott took &':( place at the old cemetery last Thursday afternoon. In spite of the inclement weather a large crowd was present to pay . their last sad tribute of respect. He waa buried with Masonic honors, the members of Oman lodge, A. F. M., conducting services at the grave. Dr. Baggott was a faithful Confederate soldier, and served throughout the war as a member of the Bamberg &Guards. Every user of stationery will testify to the fact that G. E. Bamberg carries the best line in America. How it warms the heart of the editor to have old subscribers like Mr. M. Smoak &?,?. -> come in to see us. He has been taking The Herald for many years, and he always pays a full year in advance. He says he knows the editor must live, and he" sees no reason why everybody cannot just as well pav in advance as at the end of the year. Mr. Smoak says he cannot do without The Herald, that he must have the news, and thinks we are getting out the best county paper he has ever seen. He ? ; is a hard-working man, who by honest toil and sacrifice has succeeded in educating his three sons, and he has been mother and father to them for a long time, his wife having died several years ago. Would that we had more citizens like ^ hiai. *' I See G. E. Bamberg's free offer in another column. We understand that all the stores in town will close next Monday. People are certainly spending money this Christmas. Our merchants are doing a fine business this week, and the streets are crowded with shoppers. The National Good Roads association will be held in Jacksonville, Fla., on January 19, 20 and 21. It is expected that five thousand delegates will be present. Mr. W. Paul Riley was out this week soliciting subscriptions of stock for a new building and loan association. He was very successful, and the association will be organized in a short time. The Herald force will take a little holiday, but the office will be open and the editor will be on hand to attend to the wants of any who may come. In fact this editor Is one man who never gets a holiday. Be sure to read the advertisement of the W. Brooks Rice land, which is to be 'sold at public auction in front of the court house here on Tuesday, January 3d. These are valuable farming lands, and will no doubt bring good prices. The farmers' institute for this county was held in the court house here last Saturday by Professors Newman, Klein, and Morrison. On account of the bad weather not a large crowd was present. However, those who attended were much pleased with the addresses delivered. Had the weather been good and the institute held some other day -than Saturday, the attendance no doubt would have been large. New Advertisements. G. FRANK BAMBERG. Frank Bamberg wants to sell you horses and mules, buggies, wagons, harness, etc. Big lot to select from and prices and terms are right. THEODORE KOHN. Kohn's new ad. is full of suggestions for Christmas presents. You can get anything for anybody from his store and the prices and quality will be exactly all right. Many people in this town buy from him by mail with perfect satisfaction. You can do the same, so send him a trial order. He guarantees all goods. L. A. KLAUBER. . Klauber's ad. just reminds you that he carries the famous Griffon brand clothing, none better made, and every suit guaranteed. F. F. Jones?For Sale.' TV R. Mathenv?For Sale. Masonic Election.
