A blue cross mark on your paper this week means that your subscription is due and we want the money. Look for the blue mark if you are behind with The Herald. # Prof. N. M. Salley, the new superintendent of the Greenwood graded schools, has bought through Pratt & Pratt, real estate agents, the residence of Mr. Walter T. Jones.? Greenwood Journal. Mr. J. D.

Tho TCWtrie SuddIv Co. have tak en down their gasoline engine and little dynamo used in their sales room, and it will be shipped to Cartersville, Ga., where the company is to put in an electric light plant for the town. A man who took a daily paper in preference to a weekly paper because he got more paper for the money was , attracted by the advertisement of a . fire escape which would be forwarded ' on receipt of $2. He sent the cash i \ and in a few days received a copy of J the New Testament. ; An invitation has beee extended to ( Hon. M. L. Smith, of Camden, grand vice chancellor, to make the public < address at the district meeting of * Knights of Pythias in Bamberg next \ February.

J The large brick sale stable of G. ] Frank Bamberg is about completed, 1 and he is moving some buggies, etc., into it. This will be the largest and 1 best appointed building for the live 1 stock and vehicle business in the low j country. It is two stories, 100 x 100, ] with handsome office, commodious < stalls and apartments for stock, with # an elevator and other conveniences, i It Pays to Advertise. A lady who understands advertising says: "No lady wishes to be looked upon as a shopping fiend, she does not care to J go into ttie store and have a merchant show all his stock in order to find ont < whether be keeps what she wishes to j purchase and whether the article is sold ( at a price she can afford. It is much eas- i ier and pleasanter to look through the * advertisements in a paper than it is to ^ bore the clerks and waste her own time. Advertisements in a paper stating articles < for sale with prices, will keep much of ] the money that goes to the large cities at ' home." Put your ads. in The Herald now, ^ and you will be sure of a large fall trade, j We have the largest circulation in the 1 county, therefore our paper goes into ev- 1 ery nook and corner of Bamberg county, j You can reach all of our people by adver- i tising in The Herald. < New Advertisements.

Virginia Spann Dowling, the little daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. Decania Dowl- j ing, died in Columbia last Friday, aged | nearly seven months. The little one had j been sick almost since its birth, and for a week or more had not been expected to J survive The body was brought here j Saturday morning, accompanied by the j bereaved parents and some friends, and ! was buried the same afternoon in the old j cemetery, Rev. A. J. Foster, pastor of the j Bamberg Baptist church, conducting the services. The bereaved parents have the j sincere sympathy of their many friends i in their affliction. The number of private lights for the electric light plant now runs up to nearly 1,200, and" it is likely that this number will be increased before the plant starts operations. The 8 o'clock morning train now carries mail, a locked pouch having been put on a couple of weeks ago. This action was taken as a result of a petition circulated here some weeks ago. Look at the date on the name label on your paper. If your time is out, renew promptly, as we cannot afford to send the paper on long credit. We have to pay the expenses of our office cash every week. The first hale of South Carolina raised cotton comes from Bamberg county. Bamberg is getting in the habit of carrying off this distinction. It won't be long before the fields will be white.?Greenville News. The large new engine at the cotton mill is now in place and as soon as the steam and water pipes can be connected up, the engine will be put to work. It is a handsome piece of machinery, and will be quite an improvement as wen as a source of economy. Rev. Peter Stokes, of Bamberg, was here Sunday and preached an excellent sermon to a large congregation at the Chiquola hall. He was pastor of the church here for several years and was loved and esteemed by the members of his church.?Honea Path Chronicle. The second bale of new cotton for the season was received in Charleston last Saturday by Messrs. F. W. Wagener & Co. It was shipped by Messrs. D. H. Counts & Co. of Bamberg, and weighed 518 pounds. The cotton was classed as fully middling and sold for 11 cents per pound. Rev. W. T. Duncan, presiding elder of the Cokesbury district, was in the city Sunday. He was pastor of the church here for awhile and his work was very successful He is an able preacher and is doing much to promote the cause of Methodism in this State.?Honea Path Chronicle. It pays to read the advertisements of enterprising home merchants. They are the people who make a town a trade center. You should remember that they bring the conveniences, necessaries and many of the luxuries of life right to your door and as a rule sell you honest goods at a small profit. Prof. Hogan is the right man in the right place. He has tact and talent. The Carlisle Fitting School should make rapid progress under his administration. I was pleased to meet and greet him the other day at one of my churches. His address made an impression. The principle that guides him as a teacher commends him: "Prayer and the paddle."? ?. A.
