Frank Bamberg moved into his handsome new residence this week, n Remember Col. Bacon's entertainment at the Fitting School chapel ? Friday evening. Our Deonle generally are complain ing at the poor light given by the arc ^ > lamps on the streets. 0 jwi, . ci The building of the Bamberg n Banking Co. will be ready for occu- f, pancy some time next week. a Look at the date on the label d of our paper and renew your sub- g scription before it is too late. "5 Our farmers have begun to haul J* out some fertilizer, but there will J! not be near so much used as form- \ j?: erly. C v . Monday was such a disagreeable ^ day that few people from the country came to town. There were no public sales of any kind held. News is mighty scarce this week s and the editor has the grippe, and e t. * our force is short, so there is good ^ reason if the paper is uninteresting e this week. j J Court convenes here the first Mon- n p . day in March, the 4th. Judge Hy- a drick will preside, which will be his t first visit to Bamberg as a Judge. f Mr. L. L. Chartrand, contractor r and builder, who has been in St. v Matthews for some weeks, will re- e turn here in a few days to resume t work. See his ad. in another column, c Valentines of all kinds at Hoffman's All kinds of paper is still going ^ higher in price. It looks like we j will be obliged to charge $1.50 a year a fr for The Herald before long, as every- ^ jsj thing used in a printing office costs ? a great deal more than formerly. ^ v ~ Valentines of all kinds at Hoffman's g Our people seem to have gotten to the point where the destruction of v Eg property by fire makes no impres- g sion on them. The town will never v M have many good business houses un- i %'h til we get some sort of fire pro tec- s jp, tion. a ; We want your trade at Moye's e Grocery Store. P The condition of Main street is a disgrace to the town. The idea of a place calling itself a town when it . has such a Main street as Bamberg j. has! There is only one thing that will be of benefit and that is to pave v |fl the street. c Fresh lot gold band hams at Moye's t Grocery Store. t The .State Senate has passed a bill t | , creating a ten hour day for opera- v ?v tives in cotton and woolen mills, t The bill provides that after January e p: 1st next ten hours shall constitute a t :p day's work. Senator Black, of this pf county, voted against the bill. v f ' Be on the lookout for Moye's laun- 0 dry boys on Monday mornings'. 0 There was a largely attended ? ?& drainage meeting held in the hall of p the house of representatives Monday p- * evening, the meeting being arranged foe by the house. Hon. C. W. Garris, |&v of this county, presided and introduced the speakers. ? Valentines of all kinds at Hoffman's p The recent spell of wet weather v has been quite an advertisement for the poor streets of Bamberg. The c I condition of Main street during the e :: time was simDly horrible, both side- I f walks and the street. It will never o If; be any better until it is paved. It s looks like we might have good side- v |>' walks at least. We have just opened a new keg of large cucumber pickles at 10c dozen. 11 Moye's Grocery Store, c The Bamberg Furniture and Hardware Company has bought out the J, stock of coffins of Simmons & Kinard I which they had in one of the stores i p under Johnson's Hotel, and the store will be occupied by Mr. Emory A. 2 Hooton as a dry goods store. He S expects to be ready for business ?

That body has just as C much right to do this as they have a i .. to hire the cotton mill hose to put a out fires, and yet we have never t heard a single kick about that. But v tbat happens when a fire is going on, h and no one feels like splitting hairs s when a fire is burning. t The finest butter and cheese. Ring a 41. Moye's Grocery Store. Mr. Rowley Williams, of Ulmer, J * . " died at the home of his father on t the 28th of January, after an illness of some time. He suffered with con- J sumption, and it nad Deen Known ior , some months that he oould not re- J cover. He was about 36 years old, . *;, and leaves a wife and an infant daughter. He was a half brother of Mrs. J. C. Lewis, of this place. . t / x Something very nice in coffee and j tea. Ring 41. ( Moye's Grocery Store. t The State Supreme Court has af- ( firmed the case of J.

This c wase a case brought to recover the I value of buggies burned in the depot i fire here last October a year ago, the r buggies being on the cotton plat- i form. The railroad declined to pay s for them. Jones Bros, won the case i in the circuit court and the railroad c appealed. Now the supreme court e i has decided in favor of Jones Bros, and we guess the railroad company will pay up now. c V:.;* New Advertisements. J. J. Jones?For Sale. D. A.

The reception given by the faculty nd students February 2nd was a plendid success, and it is now genrally conceded to have been the est in the school's history. No nergy was spared in its preparation, 'wo weeks before the day set com-1 littees began their various duties, nd these continued until the bell apped last Saturday night and inormed the merry party that the eception was at an end. They worked faithfully, and successcrownd their efforts. About eight-thirty he crowd began to gather in the hapel which had been prepared for ts reception. Seats were arranged round along the walls and scattered ere and there through the room, 'erns, evergreens, and flowers served s decoration. The effect was very ? * ii leasing and never beiore aid tne hapel look so well as she did that hat night when she received her ;uests. After a season the guests were inited across the hallway into the ymnasium where the refreshments rare served. This room was more eautiful still. The tables were pread in pure white and artistically domed with flowers, beautifully mbroidered and drawn center ieces, candles, china, glass and apanese doilies. From the comers f the room long ropes of ivy were uspended, coming together at the enter, from which point hanged a irge red bell and about which were lustered Japanese lanterns. The windows were draped in white lace urtains,* with evergreen over the op of each and a beautiful fem at he foot. The large lamp in the cener casted a red-hue over the room irhich was augmented by the lanerns, bell and berries. "Beautiful!" scaped the lips of those present as hey entered this room. At the door of the room each guest ras detained a moment, while one f the reception committee pinned n a yellow, gold trimmed, crescent ,nd a bright golden star, which had een prepared as souvenirs of the ir?f?nsinn. The evenihg passed off as one full f merriment, jollify and fun makng. The pleasure was added to by elections rendered on the piano by lisses Elise Rentz, Ida Muller and 'lossie Mundaugh. Some of the isitors also played. The beauty and success of the ocasion ^re largely due to the chaprones: Mesdames Beach, Hogan, tisher and Roberts and the members f the arrangement committee who tood faithfullly by them in their pork. The reception committee who 'kept things moving" all the time, nay be largely thanked for the sucess socially. Quite a good many old students nd friends of the school attended eception. Among, them were: Jisses Edna Dukes, Leila . Gates, jissie Ulmer and Miss Louise Gage, f the Govan graded school; Prof, 'handler, of Govan; Messers. Shedlie Arant, Phillip McCants, Geo. Ulner Zeigler, Johnson Weekly, Ernest titter, B. Dannelly, and Stacy [earse. Since the last announcement the nanagement has had some difficulty n making final arrangements for the rrienauer recital, and it was feared ,t one time that we would not be ble to have this famous 'cello maser this year, but all lovers of music rill be glad to know that he will be lere February 14th. It is through pecial effort that he is secured and his will probably be his last appear.nce in Bamberg. ' We are glad to welcome among us Jercy Hiers, who entered school his week. He is a brother of Ernest liers, who has been a student two 'ears. Col. J. T. Bacon, of Edgefield, is o give an entertainment in the chapel Yiday night.

This s a masterpiece of wit, and we are lelighted to see that it is on Col. Sacon's programme for Friday evenng in our town. However, every lumber on Col. Bacon's programme s a gem of humor or pathos or muic. Don't miss hearing Col. Bacon ead "The Bazaar of the Guild Lalies"?to say nothing of "The Mod:rn Negro Cook."

Twenty-nine hits out of thirty-nine shots at a range of 4,000 yards, more than two miles, with five six-inch broadside guns is the record recently made by the gunners of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans* battleship Maine, which arrived at the navy yard in Brooklyn the other day. According to the best information obtainable, this is n world's record for naval gunners uu der the conditions experienced, says the New York Tribune. The target practice took place oft Barnstable, Mass., at the south end of Cape Cod. Forty shots wefe called for by the navy regulations, but when the thirty-ninth had been fired .the gun pointer reported that there was no bullseye left to shoot at. The practice was new to the gunners of the United States navy. It is known as broadside firing, all the guns on one side of the ship being fired on signal at a target placed not less than 4,000 yards away. The first broadside of five shots went wide. The second broadside took from twenty to twenty-five seconds to fire; then as the range was found the guns were loaded and fired faster and faster until eight broadsides were fired In 160 seconds, and as twenty-nine of the shots were hits and the target was sixty feet long and thirty feet high this means that If the target had been a ship she would probably have been put out of commission and sunk in that space of time. Ensign L. R. Leahy was the officer in control of the firing on tHis occasion. A world's record with the Maine's twelve inch after turret guns was established for night shooting by Midshipman Bryan McCandless and his guns' crew. Out of twelve shots fired whi!e*thc rays of a searchlight played on a small target (17 by 21 feet) placed 4,000 yards away they made six hits. Lieutenant Roger Williams at the forward turret guns also made a record of eleven hits out of sixteen shots. The Missouri's men made eleven out of fifteen shots, but the Maine's gunners fired one shot more than called for at the range. With the three inch guns at the same sized target and at 2,000 yards range while the ship steamed at 10 knots Midshipman Drake and his guns' crews made a high percentage in the forty shots fired, each gun pointer firing ten shots. ' FRUIT HEDGES. Agricultural Department's Scheme to Grow Them In America. According to an official of the department of agriculture, fruit bearing hedges are among the latest novelties for introduction into the United States, says a Washington dispatch to the St Louis Republic. The plant In question Is imported iroui souiu Atrica, wuerc i?. is ruu?ru as the amatungula. Its flower is white, and the fruit, a red one, is perfectly edible. The shrub, a thrifty evergreen, makes the finest kind of hedge. The plant's botanical name is given as Carissa grandihora. In Natal, whence the queer plant Is obtained, the fruit is one of the'most popular varieties found in the market It is. about the diameter of a large damson plum, but has an elongated form and a distinct'point Europeans in South Africa recommend the fruit of the hedge for use in salads. In bloom the hedge of the amatungula is described as a beautiful sight the white, jasmine-like flowers being in marked contrast to the dark green foliage. Later the conspicuous red of the fruit offers another pleasing sight. In order to raise the shrub It is necessary that the seeds be sown in a bed, and when the plants are six inches high they must be set In the place chosen for the hedge and about a foot apart in alternate rows. The more r?ATV\ inf/lF lUfj urt; uiuiiur-u uic uivic iue; uuw. weave their branches, which are tough and thorny. A related species, with pendent. ed? ble fruit, resembling barberries in shape, is grown in the municipal garden in Cape Town. It is recommended for ornamentation of lawns and parks in the subtropical regions of America. Another plant from South Africa which It is hoped will find a place In the warmer sections of the United States is the Kaffir plum, a beautiful shade tree that grows so sturdily that strong winds cannot Injure it It produces a wood which botanists say ?le almost indistinguishable from mahogany. The trunk of the Kaffir plum if gray, and the foliage is very dark and green. The tree grows in the shape of a vase. Its bright red fruits are ornamental and prized by the native nWWron hnt flro nnt vnlnahle for the V J-IAJVXA VXX, l/v?v w ?v - ? ? market. For shade trees in the. frostless sections of the United States the agricultural department strongly recommends the cultivation of the Kaffii plum. Hen Sqoad a Government Experiment, How to entice hens to lay more eggs is the interesting problem now absorbing the attention of the agricultural department, according to a "Washington special dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The bureau of animal industry has employed Robert R. Slocum to have charge of this new work. Besides seventy-five as chipper white Plymouth Rocks as man ever laid eyes on, Mr. x fv " will have the assistance of k .ew well paid scientists, The hens are to be taken to Baltimore. First Mr. Slocum's pullets will be asked to demonstrate whether jnasli should be fed to them moist or' dry. Then the department wants to know whether it is better to feed hens all they want?that Is, by the hopper method? or just ak much as a man thinks they should eat?that is, by the table d'hote method. Strict tab will be kept on the output of the fowls from day to day. ? 7-ii/M': .. ' r > . ; ? :'c ?E M J COME IN AND INSPECT OUR 2 Z 1 New Stock;! I* ?
