Not much damage was done. * A subscriber and good friend of ' irk r\nTTirkrr in o(1van<>p fnr his fUUl O, 111 lllg 111 UVXMUW ..w. paper for another year, said: "I get more for the dollar I pay for The Herald than from any other paper, and I take a number; in fact I generally go home with a right good arm full when I go to the postoffice." The meeting of Confederate veterans called for last Monday was not held, as a sufficient number was not present. Another meeting is called for the first Monday in February, and it is hoped the old soldiers will take enough interest to be present. Important matters are to be attendH"' edto.

Many rheumatic attacks are due to uric acid in the blood. But the duty of the kidneys is to remove all uric acid from the blood. Its presence there shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't dally with "uric acid solvents." You might go on till doomsday with them, but until you cure the kidneys you will never get well. Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove uric acid, but cure the kidneys and then all danger from uric acid is ended. Rupert B. Calvo, bookbinder, employed at The State Publishing Co., official printers for the State of South Carolina, living at 1010 Lumber St., Columbia, S. C., says: "I thought I had rheumatism and treated for it on that belief. I used all kinds of liniments. The pain was in my back and in my hips clear to the shoulders. The liniments did no good and I took to blood medicines but they did not help me. I took a long Jrip in hopes that the change of climate might help me. I was away for three months but could see no change for the better. ? * tn tf*X n!iu J 1 Heard 01 jjoan s xviuiiey rms aiiu uctermined to try them, and got a box at a drug store.

Below, are found the names of the pupils in the advanced department of the school, and opposite each name is given the number of perfect lessons recited. If the pupil has been present every day, the number should be 22. Examine the list, and see what your children are doing at school: Annie Rentz 22 Jessie Rentz 20 Talbert Warren 9 John McMillan 11 Robbie Hughes 17 Harry Hiers 22 Biddie Hiers .' 21 Jonnell6 Hoffman 22 Purdy McLeod ?

Watch this space next week, and see if any of the names are familiar. The deportment of the pupils is to be commended, and the work done in general is satisfactory, but if you will examine the above list from week to week you will find a few pupils who make about one-half what they should make. This is due to a lack of diligence. The attendance this week has been fairly good, considering the fact that school opened this year sooner than usual. Baptist Pastor Resigns. Rev. A. J. Foster, who has been pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church for the past two years, has resigned. Mr. Foster has been called to the church at Allendale, but he has not accepted as yet. He will remain in Bamberg for a week or so yet. He and Mrs. Foster have made many warm friends in Bamberg, regardless of denominational lines, and it is witA* sincere regret that many of us give them up. ? City Council Meeting.

Alderman Cooner was absent because he is not yet well enough to be out at night. Messrs. Jno. H. Cope and A. W. Knight, of the board of public works, with Mr. .J. E. Salley, superintendent of the electric light plant, appeared before council and presented a statement showing the financial condition of the plant at the end of the first year's operation. This statement showed a profit of $1,076. The board also asked for authority to buy a small engine for the night run when practically no lights are burning, it not being found economical to run the large engine with such a light load. Council passed the necessary resolution and the engine will be purchased. J This was the most important business j transacted by the council, the other matters being the receiving of monthly,, reports and routine business. \ s : " ' , - 1 I TO FARM?] ? - v m We can supply your wants in ^5 c/i any kind of Farming Tools.
