Taft at Augusta and extended an invitation for him to stop his special train at Bamberg a few minutes last Saturday morning on his way to Charleston, from which place he sailed Monday for Panama to inspect the work being done on the canal. Mr. Taft replied that it was impossible for him to stop here, and expressed his regrets. The special passed through about ten o'clock Saturday morning, and while some people were around the depot as the train passed through town, they did not get a glimpse of the next president. Successful Chicken Raiser.' Mrs. M. M. Hunter, wife of Mr. A. J. Hunter, of the Midway section, is a most successful chicken raider. She 3ells quite a lot of chickens and eggs, and has deposited recently $80 in the bank, all this money being derived from this source. She also Duys an the chicken food she uses, as well as buying her own clothing, and having money to spend for other purposes. Mrs. Hunter's success shows that there is good money to be made In raising chickens and eggs, and the wonder is that more people do.not pay more attention to it. There is always a good demand for all kinds if poultry on this market at good prices. Meeting Farmers' Union.

J. L. Juattlebaum, Charlie Felder, E. H. Henderson, A. M. Berry, Philip Murphy, A. M. Brabham, Drs. McCrackin Ind Sullivan. Miss Counts Entertains. An affair of exceptional charm was :he whist party given on Thursday of ast week by Miss Pearle Counts, who ielightfully entertained complimen;ary to her friends. The absorbing time spent at the ;ame was followed by one of bright, nerry chat around prettily arranged :ea tables, where a delightful salad ;ourse was served in dainty style. The attractive home thrown open &-as given a bright touch by vases of fragrant flowers and pots of fern, rhe affair was informal and one of :he most delightful of the season. Knights of Pythias.

Mrs. Lewis organized a- Sunbeam Band at the church last Friday afternoon w.th an encouraging number nrpapnt and nartioinatine. Good congregations attended both morning and evening services last Sunday. The pastor preached Sunday night, as announced, on the final state of the wicked. He showed that the wicked would be punished beyond the judgment, showing the weakness Of the Universalist theory. Also, that the nature of this punishment will be outward, or legal, and inward, or natural; the outward being dependent on and limited by the inward condition. That instead of everlasting fire being literal, it is only a figure of the awful fury and wretchedness of unchecked sin within, producing its outward conditions of wretchedness and despair. The literal idea makes men dread God only; the figurative idea makes men dread sin. ' Next Sunday night the pastor's theme will be, Is future punishment eternal ? Rev. O. j . Frier, C; B. Free, and Geo. H. Smoak were chosen to represent the church in the union meeting at Ghent's Branch next Saturday and Sunday. Rev. O. J. Frier will return in time to fill his regular appointment here Sunday morning and evening. Civic Association. The members of the Civic Association have gone to work with new vigor since the passing of the holidays, for the aesthetic advancement of Bamberg. The last meeting, which was held as usual in the Fitting School chapel, was a most enthusiastic one. Many new members were added to an already lengthy roll call, and all of the officers were in their places. Although the league is as yet in its infancy, only about three months having elapsed since its organization? quite an amount of good has already been accomplished, and greater 4Vi.-.,vn Kflinn nlannOil friT thA viP llllllga die UtlUf, J/1U11UVU IV. VUV . ? betterment of Bamberg. It was decided some time ago to take in charge the court house and the grounds around it as the first work of the league. And right here a vote of thanks from the ladies is due Mr. J. B. Kearse, the supervisor, for his hearty co-operation in this work. In response to their entreaties he gave a convict to clean the grounds and building, and promised to furnish this convict at any time for the work at this place. So, by this means, and by the co-operation of those who have offices, both in the building and near the court house, we hope to make this handsome public building and its grounds a place of which not only the town, but the county at large will be proud. * The ladies are also indebted to Mr. C. B. Free, who will have the convict in charge, and who has promised his help at any and all times. It was decided to place a privet hedge all around ine court house square, in front of the building, letting it grow to some height as a screen for a board fence at the back. Six yuccas are to be placed in the eniiarp ?nri later oil beds of cannas are to be planted. Mrs. G.' P. Harmon, Mrs. R. L. Risher, and Mrs. G. F. Bamberg compose the committee on this work. It was then decided to take up the work of cleaning and beautifying Restland cemetery. Situated in the heart of town, and held dear to the hearts of most people in Bamberg, it seems very appropriate that this hallowed spot should be among the first places to receive our attention. One week from next Friday, February oth, was appointed as "work day" at the cemetery. All lot holders and any one interested in this labor of love are requested to meet with us on that day and lend a helping hand. If each one interested will put his or her individual square in perfect order, ere night fall great results can be achieved. Mesdames Bronson, J. D. Copeland, Sr., Herbert, Heidtman, Armstrong, and W. P. Jones were appointed a committee to arrange for this work. The street carts are to be on hand for the removal of all trash, etc. Let us not forget the day. The girls' amateur club of Kearse ?1,1 t\1ott "Mica TTon rlPK.q win present men j iuiuw * & Co." for the benefit of the league on Friday evening, February 12th. We hope that nothing else will be planned for this evening and that they will play to a crowded house. A Delightful Party. Miss Addys Hays entertained four tables or whist at her beautiful home Monday evening. Miss Willie Meriwether made the highest score and was given a handsome pack of cards in a leather case. Mr. Jarrell Quattlebaum won the consolation prize, a cloth monkey. Dainty refreshments were served during the evening. The players were: Misses Sadie Meriwether, of Allendale; Annie Lou Byrd, Willie Meriwether, Kate Felder, Ottawa Easterling, Pearle Counts, Bernie Counts, Addys Hays; Messrs. E. H. Henderson, A. M. Brabham, Charles Felder, J. L. Quattlebaum, Phillip Murphy, R. M. Berry, of Atlanta; F. B. McCrackin, and Clarence Sullivan. Jones Bros, will receive this week another car load of horses and mules. The load will be here to-morrow (Friday) and if you want something extra nice in a horse or mule, come and see them. yf : ':.v ^ r ? / ' .L. - - Miss Enl& Rowell Entertains. On last Friday afternoon Miss Eula Rowell was "at home" to a number of her friends from four to six at the residence of her sister, Mrs. M. A. Moye, Jr., on Railroad avenue. The halls an rarlor were tastefully decorated v tii palms and red japonicas, the ^olors red and green being carried oat. After the guest arrived each was presented with an envelope containing a square of linen, needle and thread of which to make a garment of some kind. The one making the neatest garment and write the best advertisement on it was to receive the prize. Miss Mayme Gee Jennings was the winner of the prize, she making a beautiful little bonnet. Miss Genevieve Kirsch received the "booby." Miss Bernie Counts was given a prize for the best advertisement. After the prizes were awarded a delicious salad course was served. The young iaaies present, organized a uuu to meet every Thursday afternoon. The following officers were elected for the first three months: Misses Addys Hays, president; Mamye Gee Jennings, first vice president; Lucile Folk, secretary; Annie Lou Byrd, treasurer, and Eula Rowell, cori responding secretary. The first meeting will be held with Miss Annie Lou Byrd Thursday afternoon, at which meeting a name for the club will be selected. During the afternoon punch was served by Misses Carey Graham and Julia Mabel Rowell. Those invited were: Misses Mamye Gee Jennings, Genevieve Kirsch, Addys Hays, Annie Lou Byrd, Lucile Folk, Bernie Counts, Kate Felder, Franke Folk, Hattie Sue Brabham, j Ottowa and Xania Easterling, Myraj Hooton, Bessie Lee Black, Ida Blocker, Willie and. Sadie Meriwether. ! M. G. J. New Pastor Well Received. Rev? D. B. Groseclose, who recently moved from Leesville to accept the pastorate of the Ehrhardt and Mt. Pleasant Lutheran churches, in this county, writes to the Leesville News the following account of his reception by the noble people he is now serving: Will you give me space in your highly appreciated paper to extend to all our friends the compliments of the season? We often think of them all, but cannot write to them individually, and take this opportunity to reach all. We have been in our work here one month. Our reception was beyond the ordinary?a large crowd came with well filled buggies and - * - x wagons ana spreaa a sumptuous umner, helped place the furniture, gave us a'fine cooking range and filled the pantry with things to. cook on it. And j more, they have not stopped?chick-! ens, turkeys, sausage, spareribs, pudding, hams, eggs, butter, all kinds of vegetables, etc. New Year's day they came, about sixty in number, and spent the day with us, taking possession of the kitchen and dining room. They spread a fine, well filled table?in fact the most I ever saw on one table ?and all enjoyed a fine New Year's dinner. After all had partaken and everything put in order we spent the remainder of the day in social conversation and getting acquainted, etc. The day was too short was all the complaint. They again left the table and pantry full, and we will have some for our friends when they come if they don't wait too long. Now, we don't mean by telling you this that we have forgotten our dear friends in Leesville. They were just as good to us, but not in the same way. So many remembered us with nice gifts Xmas, and gave us a well filled purse with the names of the donors. We shall never forget them, rney noi only did this, but came and helped us pack our furniture and place it in the car free of charge, then took us into their homes and fed us on turkey, chicken and all kind of gooi things while we stayed. And last, but not least, the ladies of the Missionary Society presented Mrs. Groseclose with a handsome silver fruit basket as a token of love and appreciation for her good work in the society. We haven't words to express the appreciation of all this. May the dear Lord ever provide for each one, and at last bring us together in Heaven. D. B. GROSECLOSE. Ehrhardt, S. C., Jan. 9, 1909. If you want a horse or mule, see the new lead Jones Br<ps. will receive to-morrow. They are good ones. NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS.
