There was not a very large crowd in town Monday, although it was the first Monday in the month and sales day. The county board of commissioners - _ "VTnnrtnv hilt Onlv WciS III SVSSiUU licit , . routine business was transacted, the approving of claims, etc. There will be preaching at the Methodist church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and Sunday evening at 7:30. The public is cordially invited to be present. The Bamberg graded school gave holiday last week from Wednesday afternoon to Monday morning of this week. Most of the teachers from out of town spent the time at their homes. Editor Knight was called to Charleston Monday on business, where he still is. Owing to his being away and a rush of advertisements at the last minute caused this issue of The Herald to a little late. *> I There was a light fall of snow here last Wednesday night or rather before day Thursday morning, but it j soon melted away after the sun rose. I This was the first snow of the season and was quite a surprise to our people, as the weather had been very mild. Mr. X. P. Smoak, who was recently elected as cashier of the Peoples Bank, resigned the position and Mr. A. M. Denbow. of Aiken, has accepted the position, entering upon, his duties last week. Mr. Smoak will remain with the bank as assistant cashier. # A soil survey of Bamberg county will soon be commenced. This was gotten for this county by Congressman Byrnes, and is only one more instance of his good work for his constituents. The soil survey will be a great thing for the farmers of the county. Mr. E. D. Raney, who is well known and has many friends in Bamberg, is likely to be the next collector of customs at Beaufort. He is the choice of Congressman Byrnes for the position, and he will make a good one. Mr. Raney's many friends here hope he will land the job. Business generally was suspended in Bamberg last Thursday, and was one of the few instances that Thanksgiving was generally observed by our \ people. The day was a quiet one, and there were few people on the streets. The postoffice, freight depot, and the bank9 were closed. Services were held at the Baptist church at night. The postmaster at Bamberg has received from the department a number of circulars which he has sent out to the various business firms in +r\wr> Thpsp pirenlars ask for in formation as to the probable use of the parcels post by local people, and the information is desired in order that proper facilities may be provided for the handling of this business. Mr. W. E. McLendon, who has been assigned to make the soil survey of Bamberg county by the government, writes us that he hopes to be in Bamberg by Christmas, certainly not later than the first of January, to commence the work. Mr. McLendon says the work will take about four months, and he will move his family here for that time if he can procure a suitable house. The colored Methodist conference, which met recently in Anderson, made no changes in the preachers for Bam-1 berg. Rev. D. J. Sanders, who lives i here, was returned as district superintendent of the Beaufort district; Rev. S. D. Williams was sent back to Mt. Carmel, the church in town, while Rev. A. M. Wright was sent back to the Bamberg circuit, which /wndicts nf several country churches. New Advertisements. /N. K. Partch?Wanted. > Vernon Brabham?For Sale. / Peoples Drug Store?Do It Now.

A Delightful Entertainment. Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg and Mrs. Jani^C. Lewis very charmingly entertained last Monday evening at a reception given in honor of Miss Ollye Dobson, of Gaffney, and Miss Inez Lemocks, of YTalterboro?two very attractive young ladies who are spending the winter with Mrs. Lewis. The house was beautifully decorated with the handsomest chrysanthemums and pot plants. Progressive anagrams concentrated the attention of the guests. All too swiftly the hours merrily passed in guessing, scoring and passing up. After sixteen games. Miss May - Zeigler scored highest and was awarded the ladies' prize?handsome siik nose. Mr. Horace Anderson bore away the gentleman's prize, a beautiful matched set?tie and hose. A delightful tea was then served. Mrs. Bamberg and Mrs. Lewis are two of Bamberg's cleverest social leaders. This very pleasant evening eclipsed their former successes. Those enjoying the evening wore: Misses Mamie Hartzog, Mell Kearse, Annie Lue Byrd, Franke Folk, Bessie I Armstrong, Leona Thomasson, Irene I Bryan, Catherine Roseborough, Hattie Newsom, May Zeigler, Louise Martin, Ruth Dibble, Gertrude Davis, Esteele Rutledge, Inez Lemocks, Olive Lee Dobson; Messrs.

Wesley Banks, a well known colored man about town, was shot last Thursday, while walking along the street, by George McMillan, a negro boy, the bullet striking Banks in the right thigh and going clear through. McMillan was arrested late Thursdy afternoon by Chief of Police Hand and lodged in the guard house. He was tried before Mayor Smoak Fridy afternoon and sentenced to the chain gang for thirty days or pay a fine of $50.00. He took the days and was parried to the gang Saturday. McMillan claims that the shoot;ng was accidental, while Banks claims that McMillan shot him intentionally, as McMillan has been mad with him for a year or more, as he had helped to catch McMillan for some offence that he had committed here about that time. Banks has had a warrant sworn out for McMillan charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill, and he will be tried on this charge when he has fignished his thirty days on the gang for shooting within the city limits. . Puritan Thanksgiving. Last Wednesday morning the pri mary department of the Bamber graded school had its Thanksgivin, celebration in the school auditorium These exercises took the form o a real Puritan Thanksgiving. Th stage was transformed into a churcl of the early New England type When the brave little boys set ou on their way to church, clad in loos knee breeches and long capes, am wearing the high crowned, broa< rimmed hats of the Puritan fathers followed by the meek little ladie and children dressed in their sombr gray with white kerchiefs about thei necks and white faced hoods on thei heads, one would have thought the; had been carried back to the Thanks giving of 1620. Scattered here am there among the faithful band wer a few friendly indians, however look ing rather fierce in their native cos tume. To make the scene even more re alistic on their way to church Join Alden bashfully and hesitatingly ask ed the hand of Priscilla for hi friend. Captain Miles Standish. Whej Priscilla gave her answer in a meel and gentle accent, "Why don't, yoi speak for yourself, John?" one o little imagination could easily pictur< the real love scene of long ago. Very impressive was the proces sional headed by Captain Mile: Standish and the Indian chief, Samo set, as it entered the church singing "Bringing in the Sheaves."

One of the most enjoyable socia occasions of the season was a part; given by Miss Marian Simmons ii honor of Misses Nettie Berry an* Astitia Fairy, of Branchville. Th< most enjoyable feature of the -even ing, excluding the refreshments, wa a guessing contest in which all par ticipated.

Press Superintendent?Mrs. W. H. Hodges. The society feels itself better equipped than ever for a forward s movement and hope in the year 1913 to do the best work of its existence so far. j But why so many vice-presidents? t one would ask who does not understand the work. There is no useless office, no position that carries with it only honor, but each office has its own specific work. The first-vice president has charge of the children and babies. Here is 1 a large field; bigger than time; it * projects into eternity. The second vice-president has a field not second to the first, that of s leading and training the young people. What a blessed service to lead e the young people with their abound^ ing energy and unspoiled hearts into s lives of usefulness for the Master. = And that is what their restless young f hearts are crying after though they s do not know it. The thrid vice-president will ens deavor to organize study classes and r all who know Mrs. Spann are sure that the work will be well done. She : will also have charge of the depart" ment of Christian Stewardship. '? The fourth vice-president will e make a study of social conditions and !* social needs in mission lands. e And now while the officers of the *' society mean to do their part faithl' fully, they realize that the success e of the society is in the hands of the ' members, the "unofficial members" as they have been called. We need every one of the 42 members to be in her place at every meeting. And we need?0 how the Master , needs!?just as many more members as there are women in the church. i- , >f Soil Surveys. I 6 Soil surveys of Bamberg and Orn angeburg counties will soon be begun by the bureau of soils, department of agriculture. The investigamm'ii chmv tVio Hiffprpnr varieties e L LVJll ..1.x ,uv.. of the soil in the counties, what crops they are best adapted to, and what method of agriculture would prove the most profitable to the farmers, y The report when issued will contain e an interesting map in colors showing e every town, village, school house, ,- church, road, and stream in the county.

Some time during the day last Wednesday, while the large crowd was in the city to see the circus, some one entered Mr. L. E. Maxwell's room at the Johnson Hotel, and stole a suit of clothes, an overcoat, and two pair of shoes. Mr. Maxwell, who operates the linotype in this office, did not miss the clothes until going to his room Wednesday evening, when he immediately reported the matter to the police. Thursday, Andrew Bennett, a colored detective, who had a warrant for the arrest of a negro by the name of Charlie Ford, who about a month ago was employed at the Johnson Hotel as porter, and who at that time left with two coats and a pair of trousers belonging to Dr. Stuckev, for which offence the warrant that Bennett held had been issued, arrested Ford at the colored people's fair at Denmark. When he was brought to this city it was found that he had on Mr. Maxwell's clothes and shoes. He claimed that the clothes'had been { pawned to him by several different negroes, all of which proved untrue. He also claimed not to have been here on Wednesday, but to have picked peas all of that day. This also was proven false, as Dr. Stuckev had him arrested \veanesaay nigni at the depot and started with him down street when he broke away and ran. He was tried before Magistrate H. D. Free Friday afternoon for stealing Dr. Stuckey.'s clothes and senteced to the chain gang for ninety days. When he has served this sentence he will be placed in jail until the next session of the circuit court when he will be tried for stealing Mr. Maxwell's clothes. Saturday afternoon Dr. Stuckey and Bennett went to Denmark where they found Mr. Maxwell's overcoat and shoes in a negro pawn shop where Ford had pawned them. Death of E. P. Sojourner. Mr. E. P. Soujourner, a well known and highly respected farmer of the Denmark section, died at his home this (Wednesday) morning, at 9 o'clock. Mr. Sojourner was well known and had many friends in this city who were shocked to hear of his death. Mr. Sojourner married Miss Janie Brabham, a daughter of Mrs. Julia Brabham and a sister of Mrs. Meta Armstrong of this city. He was about 40 years of age and had been a life-long member of the Methodist church. Mr. Soujourner suffered with pneumonia and had been 6ick for about a week. He will be buried (Thursday) morning at 11 o'clock at the Denmark cemetery. Mr. Sojourner leaves a wife, seven children, together with a host of friends and relatives to mourn his untimely death. The Herald, together with a large number of friends in this city, extend sympathy to the bereaved ones. | Pretties! Pretties! ! Pretties! ! !

Hundreds of people in this vicinity 4 alone have stopped the use of danger- ? i ous calomel when their liver is act| ing slowly, and take Dodson's Liver ! Tone instead. *Dodson's Liver Tone is always safe j and has none of the bad after-effects : which so often follow the use of calo| mel. It is a pleasant-tasting tegei table liquid that starts the liver gent; ly and surely, and relieves constipaj tion and biliousness and causes no | restriction of habit or diet, j Many preparations have sprung up v i that imitate the claims made for Dod- jt ! son's Liver Tone, but remember Dodi son's Liver Tone is the tried and j tested remedy that has proven such | a good medicine and is so satisfacj tory to every user?is the reason ; these imitations are on the market. Dodson's Liver Tone cannot hurt j anyone and if it fails to do all that is i claimed for it The Peoples Drug j Store who sells it, will give your $ money back with a smile. * ! SPECIAL NOTICES. ~ ! !
