The dog was a oun dog, and had on a collar to which was at- < tached a tag showing that the license ; imposed by the city of Aiken upon dogs had been paid. It turns out that the dog was the property of Richard Henderson in Aiken. The . dog was at home on Sunday night and was killed at Mr. Tyler's Wednesday morning. This shows the roving tendency of a mad dog. In fact it is said they keep moving all v the time until killed. Rev. J. L.

Murphy has notified the tenants of the tin buildings below the postoffice that after the 15th of this month they will not be allowed to conduct restaurants in any of the buildings. He gives them the privilege of keeping fruit or anything that is clean, but he says the restaurants are a nuisance and they will not be allowed. We congratulate him on this step. All property owners on Main street should not allow their buildings used as negro restaurants. This action of Mr. Murphy will very much improve the condition of lower main street, and we are grateful that hereafter our sense of smell will not be offended by the vile odors of fried fish emanating from these places. * t MARRIAGE IX BLACKVILLE. .Mr. Kearse and Miss Everett Surprise Their Many Friends. Black ville, .Ian. 8.?The many friends of Mr. Victor Kearse and Miss I la May Everett were greatly surprised to hear of their marriage, which occurred at the Baptist parsonage in Blackville Wednesday evening, Rev. Dr. J. D. Pitts performing the ceremony. Though the marriage was expected to occur some time in the near future, it was not expected at this time or at this place. The bride was passing through Blackville on the Southern railway and was met here by the groom. They immediately proceeded to the Baptist parsonage, where the ceremony was performed. The bride is an attractive young lady of Sumter and is of high social standing. and the groom is a well known young man, of good character and parentage. He is the youngest son of the late Dr. H. W. Kearse, of Olar, Bambere county, who was noted for his skill as a physician. Mr. Kearse is now in the mercantile business in Allendale. The bride and groom are both popular young people, who are starting out on the matrimonial sea under the most favorable circumstances and the best wishes of all of their friends who were deprived of witnessing the happy marriage, go with them along the journey of life.

There was a small but enthusiastic meeting of farmers in the court house last Monday, the purpose of the meeting being to organize a Farmers' Union for this,county. The meeting was called to order at 1 lo'clock and addresses were made by President B. H?*ris, of the State organization; Capt. W. R. Parks, a member of the executive committee from the second congressional district; and Capt. J. E. Mahaffey, county organizer. These addresses were listened to with much pleasure by those present. After the addresses a county union was formed, with the following officers: D. H. Rice, president; Raymond Matheny, secretary and treasurer; J. T T7!ncrlanH dnnr Irftpnpr ! .T. P. O'Quinn, conductor. D. H. Rice and J. W. Stewart were elected as delegates to the meeting of the Stale Union, which convenes in Columbia on Wednesday, January 20th. A resolution thanking the editor of The Bamberg Herald for his kindness in publishing notices of the meeting was passed. The next meeting of the county union will be at the court house on the second Monday in February at eleven o'clock. It is hoped that there will be a large number present, so that many new members may be enrolled. When subscriptions to The Herald expire we use a rubber stamp to notify them that their time is out. Last week we stamped an old subscriber's paper with this expiration stamp, and he renewed promptly, saying that he could not do without The Herald and he wanted to get the stamp off his paper. That he couldn't read much anyway, and with that stamp on it he couldn't read at all. Let others follow his example. There won't be any blur or stamp on papers where subscriptions have been renewed, so we hope all whose subscriptions have expired will follow the plan of this good friend and renew promptly. * " ?

Our great work and needed preparations for it, Acts 1:8. Copy this and study it, it will help you. Good congregations attended both morning and evening services last Sunday. The pastor preached a prospective sermon in the morning from Num. 13:30. The work before us this year was represented as God's promise land to us. Realize your resources for same, and take all God would give you this year, was urged by the preacher. At night the pastor began* a series of sermons on the future of man beyond death. Theme presented Sunday night was, The final judgment, the fact, the time, the judge and his judgment. The large congregation listened with marked attention to the solemn theme discussed by the pastor, and it was appropriately clinched by a solo at the close, impressively rendered by Bro. C. W. Rentz. The night service next Sunday night will be given up on account of the union temperance mass meeting to be held at the Methodist church. A temperance mass meeting will be held in the Baptist church next Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, conducted by the State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. Mrs. C. B. Free and Mrs. L. M. o'Moai urorp rpppived into the church Sunday by letter. Who will be the next? Study carefully the chart the pastor prepared and placed in the church Sunday, using it in the morning service. Suggestions to Our Merchants It is stated that the large catalogue houses in the big cities experienced a shrinking in business the past year amounting to $10,000,000. This was mainly due to the greater activity and systematic efforts put forth by the retail men and their trade journals all over the country. This is gratifying to the retail trade and indicates one of the most effective ways of combatting the catalogue houses, and of keeping trade at home. If the retail merchants would realize more than some of them do that what the catalogue is to the mail order houses, that the 1 1 ? Home papers are 10 iuuai muwauw, the business of mail order firms would show a still further decline to the great gain of the home trade and the prosperity of the home merchant. Business firms have tried all kinds of advertising, but experience proves that the most profitable is attractive and liberal advertising in the local paper or papers. An Up-to-Date Office. , It was the pleasure of the editor of the Herald and News to spend a day in Bamberg recently We were so impressed with the neatness and tidiness of the office that we cannot refrain from commending Brother Knight for the neat office which he keeps. We have been in nearly every printing office in South Carolina and we have never seen as neat an office as is the office of The Bamberg Herald, and we would suggest to the executive committee of the press association to ask Brother Knight to prepare a paper for the next annual meeting on the subject of neatness in a printing office. It is really worth a trip to Bamberg to be convinced that a printing office can' be kept neatly. In addi tion to tms tsromer jvmgui puunauco one of the best country papers in South Carolina.?E. H. Aull in Newberry Herald and News. Protective Association. There is a movement on foot among our merchants to organize what might be termed a Merchants' Protective Association, such as has been organized in other towns in the State, which will have for its purpose the protection of its members in regard to extending credit to people who will not or do not pay. As we understand the idea, practically all of the merchants of the town are to be members, and none of the merchants who are members will extend credit to any person who owes an account at the store of a merchant who is a member. There will be what might be termed a black list, and no member can extend credit to any person on this list until he pays the member he is owing. The idea is a good one. Persons who will not pay their debts should not be given this accomodation, and there is no reason why a store keeper should extend greater accommodation than a bank or any other business which loans money. When one gets goods which cost a merchant money he should be made to pay for them, and when the merchant trusts to the honor and integrity of a customer and extends credit, he should be paid. I am still paying the highest prices for hides of all kinds. <H. W. BEARD, Bamberg, S. C.

Mrs. Leonard Co wen, a daughter of Mrs. Gibson, concluded to consult Madam Eldon, a scientific , " ^ palmist, who is here this week with ^ ? a carnival company. After reading ^ the lines of the young lady's hand the knowing one described the watch and then told her that the watch had not ; been stolen, but misplaced. The de, scription tallied with an immediate ! search and the watch was found Just where it had been placed by the hands of Ape member of Irlrs. Gibson's '% ? fanw. This happened yesterday, and last night all the people of the city who had lost something or wanted to find something, consulted Madam Eldon.
