fi-7 TEE BAUBEEG HERALD r? Thursday, Jan. 26,1905 Short Locals. Mr. C. B. Free advertises for some strayed hogs in this issue. G. Frank Bamberg received another carload of horses and mules last Saturday. The sickness of some of our force has put us badly behind with our work this WT/i/ilT' ff V>V/H. Mr. LaFitte has introduced a bill in the legislature to limit the appointment of bailiffs. Mr. Geo. W. Rentz, of the Ehrhardt section, killed a hog last Saturday that weighed 560 pounds net. An unfavorable report has been made on Mr. LaFitte's bill to elect county dispensers by the people every two years. The price of sugar was advanced again last week. It seems that everything is f. getting higher in price except cotton. Smallpox is pretty well all over the State. Better be vaccinated, as there is no telling when it will appear in Bam.berg. There was a great and sudden change in the weather here Tuesday afternoon. It is very cold now and the wind is high and cutting. We understand that Hon. C: W. Garris and family are to move to Florida some time next "month. They are at Denmark for the present. Our subscription collections for January bid fair to be the largest in the history of the paper. And this, too, without special effort on our part. The city election is to take place before long, but nobody seems to take any interest, and no candidates are being "men!v -tioned yet for mayor and aldermen. It looks like comedy when a man who & v never did ten hours of consecutive manual labor in his life stands up and prates ; about the oppresion of factory hands. Representative LaFitte is certainly making a record in the matter of introIHi during bills'in the legislature. We believe he has introduced more bills than tl. .any other member so far. v v Thft Tuanv Bambercr friends of A. Mc Iyer Bostick, Esq., -will regret to know tnat he has been seriously ill at the hos> pital in Columbia. All of us hope that P lus condition has improved. Dr. J. J. Cleckley and Miss Mary Cope were married at the residence of the bride's mother at Cope last Thursday afjgfo; ^ ternoon. They are making their home ^ at the Cope Hotel in this city. Mr. W. D. Besinger has bought the ?/ bakery from H. W. Beard, and will conduct it in future. Mr. Kilgus will be retained as baker, and they will do everyvtbing.pdssible to please the trade. Mr. W. H. Patrick is making prepara^ I lions to build on the lot he recently purV _. chased, just below Hays's furniture store, p He will erect an iron building, which will , be used as a bicycle and general repair shop. We have heard that rural delivery mail boxes have been tampered with in this is county recently. This is a serious offense, i and if the parties could be found out they ; v could be severely dealt with. Better leave the mail boxes alone and keep out of Pf: trouble. Mr. H. M. Graham, who has been living % in Greenwood for several years, will re~ jjjfp turn to Bamberg to live. He is here at :,v. . -i. present and his family are down in the Buford's Bridge section. He will move them to town as soon as he can procure .fr" a residence. g;/ Maj. E. R. Hays has recently laid out A some nice lots on his property in the Eastern portion of the town. * He has rtnonwl nn some new streets through the HI:/ property, e There are some nice residence lots there, and he will no doubt have lit tie trouble in disposing of them. S||. [,_' A little Bamberg girl asked her mother a few days ago what was the capital of a ?\'. State, and her mother replied that it was v the city where the laws were made. The Ip. little one then said that Bamberg must be ^ the capital ofSouth Carolina. But she i - J was mistaken. No laws are made and M none are enforced in Bamberg. At Ulmer last Sunday afternoon at the Hi home of the bride's parents, Mr. Edwin T-.; Rowley Williams and Miss Drew Folk '' were married. The attendants were Mr. Willie Lightsey, of Brunson, with Miss $ Annie Lou Smoak, and Mr. Hayne S. = ;f .; Craddock with Miss Dora Smoak. Rev. %i'r, Mr. Wroton, of North Augusta, performed the ceremony. At a called meeting of the Bamberg ?vv county.pension board, held at the court house last Saturday, the 21st instant, Dr. J. B. Black was unanimously elected phy^ sician and member of said board, to fill v the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. J. F. Baggott, who had been physician and member of the board since the formation of Bamberg county. . Mr. James Barr Spann will be married this (Wednesday) evening to Miss Ethel Rose Pirrong, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. v?k-' John DeWalt Pirrong. The ceremony -V' "will take place at eight o'clock this evening at St. John's church, Wewakitchka, Fla. Mr. Spann formerly lived in Bam" berg, and his many friends here will be interested in the announcement of his y ' marriage. The conduct of a number of young men or boys in the gallery at the opera house 1-"* xs^ott n?frhf njfle aimnlu Hisorftrefnl lOSb l iiuaj uiju? ' ' and should not have been allowed. The opera house is not likely to be'patronized very liberally by our best people so long as the management allows such carryings on in the gallery. If the police will not do their duty, warrants should be sworn out before a magistrate. At the home of the bride's parents, a few miles below Midway, last Thursday morning, Mr. N. C. Kline and Miss Ida Hunter were married. Rev. Waddy T. Duncan, pastor of Trinity Methodist church here, officiating:. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J.-Hunter, and the groom has been a resident of this community for several years, being formerly from North Carolina. Mr. and Mrs. Kline went to St. George Friday, where Mr. Kline is engaged in the truck growing business. ' Mr. R. E. Jennings, of this city, and Miss Maude Eberhardt, of Savannah, Ga., were quietly married at the home of Mrs. C. W. Merritt in that city last Sunday at 12:30 o'clock p. m., the Rev. Dr. Fisher officiating. Immediately after the ceremony they left on the Seaboard Air Line for Bamberg, arriving here at six o'clock Sunday afternoon. They are making their home at the Mayflower Inn. Mr. Jennings is the popular salesman at Brooker's hardware store, and his many friends extend congratulations and good "wishes. New Advertisements. C. B. Free?Strayed. THEODORE KOHX.

Death of Mrs. Copeland. Mrs. Copeland, wife of Mr. Joel. Copeland, died at their home in the Ehrhardt section Monday night, after a prolonged illness. She was about forty-five years old. She was a Miss Appleby, of the St. George section, and had been married to Mr. Copeland for several years, being his second wife.

Successful Production at Bamberg?All Had Good Time?Both Audience and Players Pleased. Last night's performance of "Isabella" in Rjimhprcr was a suecess from everv standpoint. Not only was the audience large and appreciative, but the accommodation furnished members of the troupe by the people was of the best. Although those who went on the trip were tired out this morning, they were a happy lot, and had to remember, in addition to the pleasures of the evenining before, the knowledge that they had aided in raising quite a substantial sum for sweet charity's sake. ?Orangeburg Evening News, Saturday, January 21st.

The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt, of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and were powerless to save her. The most skilful physicians and every remedy used, failed, while consumption was slowly but surely taking her life.

No tale o; indomitable courage and hard luck ii fighting the hardships of the north h * V J -l- 1- - Ji.U 1L, Known wiiicu cujj cuiupuie >viui lui story of what this woman has don< alone. Frau Schichanovrsky came to thL country from Berlin. In the Europeai metropolis she moved in cultured cir cles and was herself an artist of abili ty. In 1900 she landed in Nome, witl little money and alone. Without i word of English and friendless th< brave woman set about mastering th< dangers of a wild,* land. Why Frau Schichanowsky left th< fatherland is not known. All that cai be learned of her 1s that on the deatl of her husband she pluckily set fortl to win a fortune in Alaska. The exorbitant cost of living in ar Alaska gold camp when the fever was at its height soon exhausted her slen der resources. Acting on the advice ol a fellow countryman, she determined to prospect in the Neuklug river coun try. With a pack on her back, far toe heavy for her woman's strength, she set out for Council City. Her way lay across the cold tundra For three days she tramped, slipping over knee deep in the treacherous slush and mud. Prospectors she in stinctively avoided. By the third daj the strain of the hard trip had ex hausted her strength. Smitten with fever and weakened by hardship, she turned blindly back to Nome. Ho-w she reached the city Is not known, bul there she found shelter in a small tenl on the tundra. She was found exhausted by a Roman Catholic priest who gave her the only shelter {o b had?on the boards of his church floor, On her recovery Fran Schicbanowsky started ag&in for Council City, arriving safely. Winter was at hand, and the only shelter she could find was In an abandoned shack on the outskirts of the camp. This she repaired and made habitable. A stove was constructed of tin cans picked up about the camp. The body was a five gallon oil can and the pipe made of smaller cans. She lived in the cabin all winter alone. She saw but few human beings. In the spring Frau Schichanowsky located some rich claims. Before she could file notice of possession they had been jumped. She built an addition to her cabin and started a store. She turned her artistic ability to account by sign writing. A stock of cigars, sweets, pressed flowers and bright toys sold well, and she gained a comforta BSE WAS POUJJD EXHAUSTED BX A P3UE8T. ble income. Later she located other claims, profiting by her experience and keeping their location secret. Fran Schichanowsky built most of her cabin with her own hands. During her residence in Council City she transformed the rude shack into a home of culture and comfort Every bit added to the place was her own handiwork. The interior was bizarre. Huge fir rugs obtained from natives covered the floor. On the walls were hung colored prints framed in rough bark and bits of moss in an artistic manner. Pictures of her own, one of which obtained a prize in Berlin and another ? VI- i-i wnlla uoaurauit: meuuuu, weic uu uic *r aw. A huge pair of antlers hung from the celling, supporting an empty cocoanut shell which served as a candle holder. A large, beautifully colored Paisley shawl, relic of her former life in Germany, curtained one end of the room. Further misfortunes were In store for the plucky woman. She obtained lots In Council City, which were later stolen from her. She found many of her neighbors men of wolfish cruelty. It Is thought that brooding over her misfortunes Is the cause of her insanity. Fran Schlchanowsky was a woman of spotless reputation. When she came to America she was a beautiful woman. She was brought from the north haggard and aged beyond recognition from the hardships she combated. ' p BEfl 1 WITH THE CHARACTER ^ i \ o* THi r WOMAM ! FOR SALE BY : C. R.
