Rhoad. ! I; It is a pleasure to state that "The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" at the opera house here last Friday night was one of the very best attractions which has pvpr visited Bamberg. Of course Bamberg people do not expect the shows which come here to be the best, because high-class companies as a rule cannot afford to make a town this size, but every one we have heard express an opinion was well pleased with the attraction. If more of the shows which come here were of this character, there would be less complaint of Bamberg being a poor show | town. Tan shoes and hose for children at W. D.

' a ?i. i MUCH interest was mamiesuru m Bamberg Tuesday morning over the Methodist appointments. It was a surprise to our people that Rev. Peter Stokes was moved, but we are ill glad that he gets such a good appointment. He goes to Trinity church, Charleston, one of the very best churches in the conference. Rev. T. G. Herbert comes to Bamberg, and we feel sure our people will be delighted with him. He was junior preacher in Sumter when we lived there some years &go, and is a young map of most pleasing personality, strong character, and a good preacher. He married a young lady of Sumter. Knowing both he and his wife, it is with a great deal of pleasure that we welcome them to Bamberg, and we know it will not be long before they have a warm place in the hearts of all our people. Rev. S. W. Danner; who with his brother conducted a meeting here last summer, comes to the mill chapel in place of Rev. J. C. Thomas. Mr. Danner made a fine impression wnen here, and no doubt the work here will prosper in his hands. Death of Chas. P. Free. Mr. Charles P. Free, youngest son of the late J. Walter Free, died at the home of his mother in this city last Thursday morning about ten o'clock, after an illness of six weeks. In fact Mr. Free has been in bad health for some months, but he took his bed about six weeks ago. He was faithfully nursed by his family and friends and skilfully treated by physicians, but he grew worse until the end came. He was 26 years old, and had lived in this city for a number of years. The burial took place Friday at Springtown church, Rev. A. J. Foster, pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church, conducting the services. Mr. Free ? i is survived Dy nis mouier, one sister, and one brother, as well as numerous other relatives. The family desires to thank their many friends who vere so kind during their affliction. _j ; Nelson Respited. Gov. Ansel yesterday prolonged the lives of two men who were sentenced to hang Friday. One case was acted upon because of further work in the courts by the attorneys of the defendant. This was the case of Dock Nelson, of Bamberg, whc killed Eddie Simmons several months ago. His sentence was commuted tc ! January 17.?Columbia State. J. F. ROUNTREE CONVICTED. Found Guilty of Receiving Stolen Property. Barnwell, December 3?Isaac W. Rountree and James F. Rountree were this afternoon found guilty of receiving stolen property, knowing it to be stolen. It will be recalled that J. F. Rountree is indicted for the murder of Capt. R. F. Weeks at Dunbarton. By those interested in the prosecution of the charge of murder it is claimed that itountree killed Weeks because of the warrant sworn out by Weeks, charging him with receiving stolen property, knowing it to be stolen. The charge of receiving stolen goods was tried first and the jury found both J. F. Rountree and his father guilty. It is not likely that the case charging murder will be tried this term, the prosecution hoping to secure additional evidence by the next term of the court. The Great South.

H. M. Graham, Esq., and Clerk of Court C. B. Free went up to Columbia Monday night and appeared before Governor Ansel and asked for a reprieve for Dock Nelson, the negro who is in jail and was to be hanged next Friday. Mr. Graham had been circulating a petition to this effect, and it was numerously signed. The governor granted a respite until Friday, January 17th. The sheriff had gone ahead and made arrangements to execute Nelson, and for several days the construction of the scaffold and other arrangements had been going on , under the very eyes of Nelson, but it ' seemed to make little impression on him. In fact he has never seemed to realize that he was going to be hanged, or if he did it evidently made little difference with him. It is likely that Mr. Graham will make efforts to have Nelson's sentence commuted to lifeimprisonment, and the stay of executoin was granted in order that he might have time . to get the matter in shape for pre, sentation to the governor.

Hughes Drops Dead. Union, Dec. 1. ? The people of Union were greatly shocked this i evening on learning of the very sad i and tragic death of Mr. W. F. i Hughes, proprietor of the Union carriage works. A particularly sad feature is that his wife, Mrs. W. F. Hughes, preceded her husband to the grave by less than a month, having died suddenly after returning from the State fair on November 5. Mr. Hughes has been very unwell, but had accepted an invitation to take tea with his friend, Mr. R. W. McDow. Just as he was leaving the table he fell back and expired in a minute or two. He is survived by one chiii, a boy 15 years old, who, owing to his delicate health, appears very much younger. Mr. Hughes was a man of sterling oUnwi/ifnv oti/1 tttqo ViinrViItr ra/rorHoH UlOXak/bCi M1U woo Uigiiij ivgiuuvu in his adopted home, having come herefrom Orangeburg,about eight years ago. Before going to Orangeburg Mr. Hughes resided in Bamberg, where he has many relatives. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

"When I went west first,'* said a Unitarian minister, "I was in a small town called L., and in the choir of my church the village blacksmith did noble work as baritone. He had a . voice that could shake mountains, and whatever it lacked In any other feat ture It made up in volume. He couldn't read music any more than he could English,, but he learned a tune very readily. "One Sunday we were to be favored 1 with a new anthem because it was a special occasion, and the baritone had one nortion all to himself. Unfortu* > nately be had missed many of the practices. "The anthem went along excellently until it came to a beautiful part which reads, 'And, dying, bids us all aspire/ "Here the rest of the singers stop' ped short in that quick, sudden way that choirs have, and in the ensuing stillne^wounded the ponderous tones i of the blacksmith: t " 'And dying brides are filled with ? fire/ Boetoj^gferald. ' To a Higher Table. John Barrett, chief of the bureau of I American republics, after various oth" er experiments in diplomacy, came to Washington from Oregon during President Cleveland's second term to get J anything he could. He brought a " bunch of Oregon boomers with him, and for a time they stayed at the best 7 hotels. The job was slow in coming, . and they went from cheaper place to f cheaper place, like Mark Twain's office . seeker, until they were forced to eat - at one of the lunch places on Penn sylvania avenue. One night while they \ were at dinner word came that Presl? dent Cleveland had decided to appoint 2 Barrett minister to Slam. Barrett rose from the table and put on his coat "Hold on, John!" cried one of his , companions In misfortune. "Where - are you going? Aren't you going to o finish your dinner?' s "Gentlemen," said Barrett as he ^ stalked out "this is no place for the minister to Slam to dine."?Saturday Evening Post g Not Certain About That.
