The cement sidewalks are great additions to Main street. Now let the incoming city council pave Main street. We can do it, and it ought to be done. After the 15th of April the merchants in many towns in the State will close their places of business at six o'clock. Why should not this be i done in Bamberg? An appreciative subscriber, in remitting for The Herald another year, -M says: "The paper gets better with every issue." That's the kind of talk that delights an editor's heart. The county dispensary board was in cDccinn Viorp Mrvndav. with all the tr^ -JU UWOlVii IAV&V J . . members present.

S. Williams, of the Govan section, brought us last Saturday something of a freak in the shape of a hen egg. It is not only small and of a queer shape, but has a sort of neck on it like a gourd. In fact it resembles a gourd more than it does an egg. Mr. Williams says all the eggs of this hen's recent latter were small and this was one of the last ones laid, although^ previous to this her eggs had been of ordinary size. The Confederate Monument. Editor Bamberg Herald?Dear Sir: You asked in last week's Herald what had become of the Confederate monument movement. You may remember that about one year ago, a committee of some ten or fifteen per oil fVia f'nnntv SOIlS, UlbLi iuutcu an n T vuv to solicit subscriptions was appointed and urged to go to work. Our committee in Bamberg went to work at once and suceeded in getting subscribed about twelve hundred dollars. The other committees have not reported as much as fifty dollars. If we had about eight hundred dollars more we could erect a handsome monument, but we cannot get any more from this town and unless the balance of the county furnishes the additional eight hundred dollars the monument must fall through.

He had been in bad health for many months, and his death was not a surprise to those who knew of his condition. He was in his seventyfirst year, and leaves a widow and several children, all grown. He was born and reared at the place where he died, this plantation having been in possession of members of his family for more than one hundred years. The funeral services and burial were at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church, of which he was a member, Sunday morning, the sermon being preached by Rev. P. E. Monroe, the pastor. Capt. Sease's popularity was V*\7 f Via nrpvnpp of a tVCIl WJ V**V ^ wwwaav? great throng, the church being filled and many being on the outside unable to get in. After the services by Mr. Monroe, the body was buried with Masonic honors by his brethren of Buford Lodge of Jenny, Capt. Sease having been a former Master of the lodge and a life member of the same. Capt. Sease was well-known and popular in this and Barnwell counties. Just after Bamberg cdunty was formed, he served several terms as Auditor. He had a smile and a kind word for every one, and his genial manner and warm hearted cleverness endeared him to a large circle of friends. Children's Party.

Rudeness in cross-examination never, never pays. This is a truth that I once saw proved in a damage suit. In this suit a cross-examination lawyer shouted at a witness in overalls: 'You there, in the overalls, how much are you paid for telling untruths?' 'Less than you are,' the witness retorted, I 'or you'd be in overalls, too.' "?Kansas City Star. Town Ticket Nominated.
