Hoffman recently purchased #a Buick car, and this week Mr. F. M. Simmons brought in a Franklin touring car. The new subscribers continue to come in right along, but there is room for more. A paper like The Herald ought to have 2,000 subscribers, especially in a progressive county like Bamberg. The Bamberg Guards were inspected here last Wednesday afternoon by Assistant Adjutant ' and Inspector General Brock, representing the State and Capt. Cabaniss, representing the United States government. C. F. Rizer, at Olar, will receive a car load of horses and mules Saturday night of this week, and he says this lot has been carefully selected and are the best lot of stock brought to this section in a long time.

The ladies of the Civic Association have inaugurated a most admiraore thing in their rest room for ladies from the country or elsewhere, who may be in town shopping, waiting on trains, or for any other purpose. The Civic Association proposes to establish a rest room at some convenient point, which will be well furnished with chairs, rockers, tables, lounge, child's bed, etc., in which ladies and their children can be comfortable. The ladies hope to soon have the room established. A few days ago a traveling man from the North was in our book tore, and in commenting on the handsome manner in which it was fitted up, remarked that people generally didn't appreciate a nicely furnished and well-kept store. We took him back and showed him our printing office and he was still more surprised that such a plant should- be found in a town the size of Bamberg. We were glad to tell him that many \ of our people appreciate a good store and printing office, as was shown by our increasing patronage for both en terprises. |A* ' ? New Telephone Directory. -J ' The new telephone directory of the Southern Bell Telephone Company for Bamberg has been delivered to all the subscribers by Manager F. F. Shores. It contains all the changes and corrections in listing and all the nev? names that have been added since the last directory was issued. It is attractive in appearance and the number of new names indicates that there is a constant increase of subscribers in Bamberg. It is a well known fact that telephone development is an indication of growth and progress on me part of a community and Bamberg is keeping pace with other cities of a similar size. The Southern Bell Company is encouraging the connection of farmers' telephone lines with its exchanges and toll stations throughout the South and the plan which it has evolved is one under which farmers and other rural residents may secure satisfactory telephone service on an economical basis. Extra Fine Load. ? C. F. Rizer, at Olar, will receive next Saturday night, March 20th, a car load of horses and mules. His buyer spent ten days in the market selecting this load, and he has some of the very best horses and mules ever brought to this part of the country. It will pay you to wait and see this lot of stock, for they are fine ones and will be sold at reasonable prices. I \ . v V ^ ** WALDEN HERE NEXT TUESDAY. 'This Noted Magician the Last Regular Lyceum Attraction. There is evidentaly a reat, in the j way of entertainment, in store for the lyceum members and friends in I the perlormance of Walden, the re[ nowned magician, wonder worker ; and sleight of hand performI er, who is booked to close the regu| lar lyceum course on next Tuesday evening. On account of the young people's meetings the management has placed the hour at 8:45 so as to give all the opportunity of attending. This is an entertainment that will appeal to all?from the six-year-old child to the person of gray hairs. Here are some of the many good things said of him: "Walden mystifies and amuses in equal proportions." "Walden, in perrorming the most mvotariftnc iilinsions. does not resort lUJOWVtiVUW as some performers do, to darkened stage, etc., but performs them on a brilliantly lighted stage in full view of the audience." "See Walden and forget your troubles. Blue handkerchiefs will turn to white?white fade into air? now you see and now you don't." "Walden's program contains no feature that would not be proper in the drawing room of the most refined." "Walden will keep everybody guessing from the time the performance starts 'till its finish with his truly marvelous and apparently impossible tricks." Who is Walden? You'll find out.

This was a suit for damages for the burning of a gin house from sparks of an engine of the railroad. The case was given to the jury late Wednesday afternoon, and they stayed in the room all night, returning a verdict early Thursday morning. They found $1,000 for the plaintiff. In the case of Carey Brabham * C/M,*l,own Doilwciv Pom - a.ga.1 Lib L LUC OVUIUE1U null II UJ ~~ ? pany, plaintiff's attorneys moved for. a non-suit, as some of their witnesses were absent, and the case will come up again. Wesley Banks against the Southern Railway Company resulted in a non-suit, and Wesleyv loses the case. It is generally regretted that Banks did not recover in this case. He was shot by Preston Brown while he was guarding the property of the company, and it does seem that the railroad is liable for damages. Banks was seriously wounded, for a long time he was not expected to recover, and he will never be a well man again. No other cases were ready for trial, although there are still a number of civil cases on the calendar. The balance of the day was taken up in hearing motions, granting orders, etc., and court adjourned sine die Thursday afternoon. Card of Thanks. I desire to use this means of thanking the entire town of Ehrhardt for their kind assistance during the recent illness of my little boy. J. B. RAMSEY. Ehrhardt, March 6, 1909.

Our ladies deserve special thanks for the nice floral decorations that make our meeting place more attractive. These that have become regular, because provided every Sabbath, never lose their charm. This kindly ministry reminds us of the words of Christ. "She hath done what she could." The pastor attended the pastors' conference at . Barnwell Monday, and reports a good attendance and good reports of the work from the pastors in attendance; also a good dinner and royal entertainment by Pastor Goode and his excellent wife. The subject of giving as taught in the Bible was discussed with interest, and Pastor Goode, of Barnwell, requested to write a paper on the fr?r th<* npyt rnnference. a O U WJV-V (/ IV* vuv , month hence.

Last Thursday night about half past nine o'clock the dwelling occupied by Mr. C. C. Rowell and family was found to be on fire. The alarm was quickly given and a crowd gathered at once a;il saved a portion of the furnitun . -.to. The fire originated in tlu .wove room, but the cause is not : nown, as there had been no fire iii that part of the house since morning. The house was owned by Mr. J. A. Spann. and was insured for about $600. Mr. Rowell had insurance of $250 on his furniture, which will possibly cover the loss, as some articles were saved. It took hard work to save the adjacent dwellings, and some were scorched badly. A tenant house belonging to Mr. H. F. Spann did catch and was burneu. It was occupied by a negro named Melvin Brown, and most of his household goods were saved. TOWN PROPERTIES FOR SALE One two-story dwelling, with six rooms, on corner of New Bridge and Second street.

We actually counted 447 bolls on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms, sauares and blossoms.
