We learn that Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Barr have decided to make their . home in Bamberg and will move here shortly. This will be pleasant news I<to their many friends. The Herald office does job printing for people all over Bamberg, Orangeburg, Barnwell, and adjoining counties. We get this work because we do good work at right prices. Mr. L. B. Fowler has opened a lumber yard on the lot opposite the electric light plant, where he will carry all kinds of rough and dressed lumber and building'material. The board of stewards of Trinity Methodist church held a meeting at . the office of Bamberg Banking Com:x pany Monday and made the assessments on the members for this year. Advertising pays.

Smith, of the Orangeburg district, will pay his first official visit to the Bamberg churches next Sunday. He will preach at Trinity Methodist church next Sunday evening, and the first quarterly conference will be held Monday morning. A letter from Mr. A. L. Spann, who is now in Sylvester, Texas, asks that we send him The Herald, as he ' gets lonely some times out there so far from home. He says, however, that if he gets The Herald every wieek it will do much to keep his I spare moments from being lonely ones. The applicants for solicitor of the pc-* second circuit are getting busy and t. Governor Blease will be besieged by petitions, letters, and personal applications. Mr. Byrnes has not resigned yet, therefore the appointment will be in the hands of the new governor. May the best man The town has presented a busy appearance for the past week or so. Numbers of people from this county, as well as Orangeburg, Colleton, and Barnwell have been in the city buying horses and mules and making other purchases. The new year starts off well, from a business standpoint, for Bamberg's business men. Rev. J. H. .Vining, of London, Canada, representing the Baptist "World Alliance," will address the| people of Bamberg, S. C., at the Baptist church Wednesday evening, the J.- . 25th instant, in the interest of his work. Dr. Vining is a speaker of extraordinary ability, and this will ;v be one of the greatest treats on this line our people have had. Don't fail to hear him. Last Saturday our good friend, Mr. C. R. Clayton, of the Ehrhardt section, was in the city and renewed for The Herald another year. He is one of the oldest subscribers to the pa per, in fact he has been taking it ever since it was first issued, twentyone years ago, and he is proud of its development and-progress. That he is always prompt in renewing for another year shows his appreciation of Mr. J. B. O'Neall Holloway, State lecturer of the Farmers Union, who jf has been making addresses in this county for the past week, will deliver an address at the court house/ to-morrow (Thursday) at eleven :v o'clock in the morning. The meeting will be a public one, and as matters of interest not only to the farmers but to all other classes of business as well will be discussed, every one is invited to be present. ? . Y _ It -will be good news to the manyfriends of Congressman J. O. Patterson in this county to know that his health is very much improved, and that he will no doubt go to Washington in a few days to take up his duties. He has been in bad health for several months, and it is a great pleasure to all his friends to knowthat he is better. We have just received a card from State Lecturer Holloway, in which he states that he wants to wind up his work in this county with a big meeting here to-morrow (Thursday) in the court house at 11 o'clock a. m. Go out and hear him. He will inter est v UU. IJ.C WJHCO Uiat crowds at his various appointments in the county, and believes that success will attend his efforts. There will be a number of changes made in the schedules of the trains on the Southern Railway between Charleston and Augusta and Charleston and Columbia on the 22nd instant. The trains from Augusta will then run through to Charleston instead of stopping at Branchville. We are not advised as to how these changes will effect the passenger service from this city, but we trust it will be an improvement. We have received a note from Mrs. J. W. Barnes, in which she asks that mi T T 1J If. Dnm/u, we Sena me neiaiu tu i?xi. uaiu^o, who is now at the Johns Hopkins Hospital Baltimore, Md., for treatment. It will be remembered that Mr. Barnes had his ankle broken some months ago by a fall from a buggy. Mrs. Barnes writes that he is getting along very well, and while he will be there some time yet, the physicians think they can put him on his feet again. His friends here hope he will have a speedy recovery. Mrs. E. Paul Allen Entertains. A delightful social feature of last week was a reception given at the home of Mrs. E. Paul Allen, which consisted of the faculty of the graded school, including a few friends. The drawing room was given a decorative touch, where tables for the game were placed. The interesting game of hearts was played followed by a tempting salad course. -?*i T~? T^V. T.,rx-n firof Aiisa nuuci ia ouuuouu vr uu uioi. prize and Miss Franke Folk the consolation. G.

Little Helen Wilkerson, the threeyear-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Wilkerson, was laid to rest Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Great Salkehatchie cemetery.

A full attendance of the chapter members is desired, and will all note the hour. The Small Pox Scare. Considerable apprehension was felt in town Sunday when it became known that a white man who lived near the graded school building had a well developed case of small pox. He was immediately quarantined and every precaution was taken to prevent a spread of the disease. The graded school held no exercises- Monday, and the day was given over tovaccinating the school children. The trustees wisely decided to enforce the State law which requires that every pupil shall have been successfully vaccinated. This, however, should have been done long ago, and not wait until there was a case of small pox in town. No child should be allowed to enter a school who has not been vaccinated, and this the State law requires. The trustees of every school should enforce it. However, the children in both the white and and colored schools 'will be vaccinated at this time, and numbers of other people are also having themselves vaccinated. Death of Mrs. Matheny. Bamberg, S. C., Jan. 16, 1911. Forty-eight years and eleven months ago to-day the spirit of John Walker Matheny went back to God who gave it. To-day the spirit of his beloved wife, Eliza Rush Matheny, took its flight to join him in the spirit land, to be with God and the angels for ever more. On December 26th, 1910, Mrs. Matheny was eighty-three years old. Although she lived in Blackville, in Charleston, in Holly Hill, and Shreveport, La., she came back to the home of her son, D. R. Matheny, and died in two miles of the plantation on which she was born, now owned by W. E. Spann, but then owned by her father, the late John William Rush, of Barnwell county. This is the first time the original or immediate family circle has been broken in nearly forty-nine years. How thankful we should be that we have all been spared so long. Mrs. Matheny is survived by four sons and one daughter, as follows: W. H. Mathenv. of Ridaeville. S. C.; D. R. Matheny, Bamberg, S. C.; J. W. Matheny, of Holly Hill; Mrs. J. P. ' O'Neill, of Kingsville, Texas, and S. E. Matheny, of Charleston, S. C. They were all at her bedside to the last except the dear daughter, who has been with her for several months and suffered a nervous breakdown and left for her Texas home last Thursday. Mrs. Matheny was buried at Springtown beside her husband Tuesday, the 17th instant, Kev. o. J. Frier, her pastor, conducting- the funeral service. * Senator Wharton, of Laurens, has introduced a bill providing for a license of $50,000 on all circuses who want to give exhibitions in this State. This to be a State license, and in addition to the license imposed by counties and municipalities. The bill is not likely to pass. About all the fun a poor man gets is going to a circus occasionally, and yet Mr. Wharton wants to take this away from him.

Our Sundav-school had over one hundred in attendance Sunday morning and the collection amounted to over $4.00. Very good congregations attended both morning and evening services. Pastor Frier's theme at the morning service was the "Foreknowledge of God and his eternal purposes of grace;" showing the vital importance of these great truths and their practical value. At night he used as a theme the practical lessons growing out of the prophecy aganst Jeroboam's altar by the unnamed prophet of God in 1 Kings, 13th chapter. There were about 35 in attendance at the B. Y. P. U. Sunday afternoon. The theme of study was "The Ideal Life." The Sunbeam Band had a special meeting Monday afternoon. They contemplate having a special and interesting program the fifth Sunday night of this month. Don't forget this; it will be worth seeing and hearing. Motner Aiatneny, wno naa ueeu i sick for a long time, died last Monday, and was buried at Springtown, Tuesday, Pastor Frier conducting the funeral services.

Mrs. WilliamjS Entertains. Mrs. Jones Angus Williams entertained with a heart dice party, last Wednesday afternoon in honor of her sister, Mrs. J. Norman Walker, who has recently returned from a long' stay in Asheville. The beautiful reception hall and parlor were very attractive under the solft lights, with here and there a cut glass holder of shaded carnations. mho criioB^o rrta/\a mPTTV for Quite a while over the game, which they feeemed to thoroughly enjoy if shouts and peals of laughter were indicative. At the close of the game it was found that Mrs. H. W. Johnson had made the highest score, and was thus entitled to the first prize which was a most unique and extraordinary bit of china?an elk's head, forming a lemonade pitcher of unusual beauty. Quite a number cut for the consolation, this falling to the share of Mrs. Julia Reynolds?a great bunch of carnations. A delightful saiaa course was served, followed by another of ambrosia, whipped cream, fruit cake and punch. Mrs. Williams was most daintily attired in an embroidered gown of white, with carnations in her sash. Mrs. Walker, the guest of honor, wore an exquisite constume of dark red silk harmonizing so perfectly with her brunette beauty. *As on many other occasions Mrs. Williams proved herself a most charming hostess, and each one left her lovely home assuring her of being in debt to her for another delightfully spent afternoon.
