"Father, dear father, come home with me now, for ma has some carpets to beat; she's got all the furniture out in the yard, from the front door clean down in the street. The stove must come down and be put in the shed, and the yard must be cleared of dead grass; for it's time to clean house, and the devil's to pay?and the windows sadly need glass. Father, dear father, come home with me now, and bring some bologna and cheese; it's 12 o'clock and there's nothing to eat?I'm so hungry I'm weak in the knees. All the dinner we have will be cold scraps and such, and we'll have to eat standing up, too; for the table! and all are out in the yard? oh, I wish spring cleaning was through! Father, dear father, come home with me now, for ma is as mad as a Turk; she says you're a lazy old thing, and she proposes to put you to work. There's painting to do and paper to hang, and tne window casings to scrub; for it's house cleaning time, and you've got to come home ana revel in suds and cold grub."?Clifton (Kan.) News.

Hunter, J. C. Copeland, W. T. Beard, Committee. Miss Rowell Entertains. Miss Eula Rowell complimented Miss Jessie Granger, of Summerville, last Friday evening with a delightful party of friends. That famous piece of literature by Huxley, "On a Piece of Chalk," was! rivalled if not outshone, by the no less | brilliant literateurs who chose as their subject "A Drop of Ink." To blot a drop of ink and describe its similarity to a picture of any animal, was the pleasant pastime of the evening. Miss Granger was the winner, humor being the touchstone of her description. A delightful course of refreshments was served. The guests were: Miss Jessie Granger, Mr. Howard C. Sheridan; Miss Sadie Brabham, Mr. Philip Murphy; Miss Annie Lou Byrd, Mr. Norman Kirsch; Miss Frankie Folk, Mr. Charlie Felder; Miss GeDelle Brabham, Mr. Grigsby Chandler; Miss Louise Sheridan, Mr. M. W. Brab | uaui. Cabbage Snake in Bamberg. Those who have read of the fatal results of the cabbage snake will be interested in a little incident which occurred near Bamberg last Saturday. A negro woman living on a nearby farm, while preparing some of the favorite vegetable for her dinner, noticed a small serpent, if it can be called such, twine itself about the knife blade. She had heard of cabbage snakes but this was her first sight of one of the strange creatures, so it was nothing more or less than natural that she should call in her spouse to share the sight. That day the hogs ate heartily of cabbage, the entire yield being given to them. Monday the worm-like-snake was brought to town and placed in alcohol. It was an object of curiosity for many people; perhaps less cabbage will be eaten in this vicinity now that the sight as well as the reports of these snakes has come to the people. Vital Tone is Here. Representatives of the Charleston Chemical Company are in the city giving free entertainments on the vacant lot on Main street next to the post office for the purpose of advertising Vital Tone. They came here from Orangeburg, and the following article from the Orangeburg Evening News is a high recommendation for Dr. Staake and his popular remedy. Vital Tone is for sale by all druggists in Bamberg: "Dr. Staake, manager of the Charleston Chemical Cot, who for the past three weeks has been in Orangeburg in charge of the advertising squad, making known in a popular way the merits of Vital Tone, a wonderful medicine for this climate, made an interesting talk to those who attended the free show at the cotton yards last evening. Among other things he said that his success in this city in making cures and in popularizing the remedy had been very great, and he added that much of this was due to the advertising value of the columns of the Evening News. He spoke very highly of the people of Orangeburg and said that his stay here had been both pleasant and profitable. "Tonight the last free show will be given at the cotton yards,as the merits of Vital Tone have been thoroughly made known to the people of this citv and section. It has made many friends because it has cured those whom it was promised that it would cure and because it seems to be a wonderful medicine for the com plaints which it is guaranteed to reach. The company is all right and carries out its promises. Also it is a home concern and is not situated on the other side of of the world. "Dr. Staake has made many friends since he has been in this city, and it is to be regretted that bad weather has from time to time interfered with his plans. Still, it may be confidently said that every man, woman and child in the City knows the Doctor and what he represents, and that is saying a good deal when the size of the city is taken into consideration. "After the departure of the advertising squad Vital Tone can be obtained from any drug store in the city. The J. 6. Wannamaker Mfe. Co. will be the dis ' tributing agents" for this section, and ; Vital Tone in any quantity can be obtained from them. It is to be hoped that arrangements may be made through which the headquarters of the company may be , moved to Orangeburg, and still it is believed that the Evening News may be able to give fuller details at an early date." ! FORCED TO STARVE. B. F. Leek, of Concord, Ky., says: > "For 20 years I suffered agonies, with a ' sore on my upper lip, so painful, some1 times, that I could not eat After vainly ' trying everything else, I cured it, with ; Bucklen's Arnica Salve." It's great for > burns, cuts and wounds. At all druggists . in Bamberg; Felder and Matthews, Denmark. Only 25c. POCKET BOOK LOST.

About 2 o'clock Monday morning, July 3rd, he stole Jessie Lee Brasseil, a girl not yet 14 years old,out of her home and disappeared with her, going off to be married. They were located Monday of this week and Marie and the child were arrested and brought back here. The girl's father is an intelligent workman in one of the cotton mills here. It is said that the girl was at work in the Bamberg mill and the old man standing on the streets smoking his pipe. When the law gets hold of him it will probably make him smoke some more.?Orangeburg Patriot. Death of Mr. Donald J. Barton. Mr. Donald James Barton, a prominent citizen of Rowesville, died on Saturday night last. His remains were laid to rest in New Hope Cemetery in that town at six o'clock Sunday afternoon, the funeral serices being conducted by Rev. A. C. Walker. Mr. Barton was a member of the Knights of Pythias and was buried with the honors of that order, Chancellor Commander Marvin H. Boone officiating. Mr. Barton was about forty three years old. He was the third son of Dr. and Mrs. Donald W. Barton. His father died at Bamberg in December,. 1903. His mother was Miss Cornelia Izlar, a sister of Judge Jas. F. Izlar. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Emma Cope | Barton and one daughter, little Reta, his mother, Mrs. Cornelia Izlar Barton; five brothers: Messrs. feter K., benjamin, Alex, Olin D., and Dr. Harry Barton, and two sisters, Mrs. J. M. McMichsel and Mrs. Wm. Henry Patrick. Mr. Barton was married twice, his first wife having been Miss Ada V. Bowman, a daughter of the later Orrin N. Bowman. Mr. Barton was possessed of many fine traits of character. His genial and jovial disposition made him appreciated by his many friends. He was an enterprising business man, and his death is quite a loss to his community.?Orangeburg Evening News. (tShe Being Bead, Tet Speaketh." The following most tieautiful tribute to the memory of Mrs. Lizzie Black Bailey is from the pen of Col. James T. Bacon, editor of the Edgefield Chronicle, and we are sure that many friends of the deceased lady will want to preserve it: "Our home-coming from foreign lands was unspeakably saddened by Che death of our honored and beloved young friend, Mrs. F. N. K. Bailey?lovely womangifted and accomplished musicitn. And without seeking to bestow upon her memory a praise from which in person she wonld have shrunk, it will Drobablv be felt by those who knew and loved her best, that nothing was more admirable in her character and life than the remarkable balance, which made her, though a most quiet and unobtrusive woman, a tower of strength to those who came within the circle of her influence. Divining the needs of others, she had always something to impart to those who needed her. She knew how, not only to weep with them that wept, but also to rejoice with them that rejoiced; and so in all that goes to make the happiness of home this true woman was most efficient. In all the phases of joy and sorrow, as well as in the steady drain which common cares make upon the resources of the patient and cheerful, she was ready; and whether she be remembered as daughter, sister, wife, mother, teacher or friend, the memory is a happy one. "A burning and a shining light," her calm and steady radiance shone through all her life to the infinite benediction of those who were glad for a season to rejoice in that light; and who now, with grateful though sorrowing hearts, commend her to the perpetual light which beaming through the shadows of earth, increases in the rest of Paradise more and more and more unto the perfect day of the life eternal." Change on The Advocate. In the last issue of the Southern Christian Advocate Rev. G. H. Waddell announces that on account of his health he has been obliged to drop all work and take a rest and he leaves the paper in the hands of Messrs. E. 0. Watson and J. W. Nash, who also make a statement and bear the people to pay up and support the paper. They say that its expenses have drained Mr. WaddelPs private resources so that that they have been exhausted and they will have to borrow money unless the people pay up. BENT HElTDOUBLE. "I knew no one, for four weeks, when I was sick with typhoid and kidnev trouble," writes Mrs. Annie Hunter, of Pittsburg, Pa., "and when I got better, although I had one of the best doctors I could get, I was bent double, and had to rest my hands onmyknees.whenlwalked.
