Kearse. one of our colored ! i] subscribers at Olar, in renewing for j b another year, says that The Herald j U ''is my paper as long as it is operated | w or as long as I live. There is no n doubt about that." Such loyalty is apreciated. The services at the Baptist church were unusually interesting last Sun day night. Eight candidates for membership were baptized and received into the church, these conversions being a result of the recent revival meeting. o Mr. and Mrs. Francis Glover Lem- u acks have issued invitations to the t marriage of their daughter, Inez Wilson, to Mr. Lawrence Preston McMillan, the wedding to take place p . next Wednesday, October 22nd, at high noon, in St. James church, Ehrhardt, S. C. Rev. Paul A. Bolen was happily married to Miss Lillian Lancaster, of Govan, Bamberg county, on October 1, in Columbia. The Rev. Burts., of g that city, was the officiating minister. T b The many friends of Rev. and Mrs. Bolen wish for them a long and hap0 py wedded life. i] We are printing in another column ^ an article published in the Columbia ^ State, written by its Bamberg corres- 0 pondent, in reference to the banks of p Bamberg county. The article makes s a fine showing for the banking in- a stitutions of the county. However, t there is an error in it, as it gives c the president of the Citizens' Ex- ^ change Bank of Denmark as C. W. Garris. Mr. F. V. James is president and cashier of this bank. , The dispensary in Bamberg will be located on Railroad Avenue, next 11 * to J. J. Smoak's stables, the board d having leased a tenant house belong- n ing to Mr. D. M. Eaves, which will z be remodeled and put in shape for * dispensary purposes. He will also e erect a warehouse and bottling plant * on the same lot, in rear of the house. D This will put the warehouse right on the cotton mill side track, and save * the expense of drayage, besides being a very convenient location. * The burning of one of the section n houses of the Southern Railway, situated near the cotton platform, caus- ^ ed some excitement here last Friday, about two o'clock in the afternoon, as ^ it was feared that a lot of cotton on p the platform might catch. Buckets were hurriedly brought into use and the cotton sprinkled with water. Soon the fire department was on the , scene, and while the house was kept , from burning- totally, its contents were destroyed. The house was oc ^ V 11 cupied by negroes. c The postmaster here is willing and t is very anxious as well to make ar- ^ rangments to have first-class mail c delivered here on the train arriving c at 5.45 a. m. from Charleston, and | a if the citizens will co-operate with I ^ him the matter can be accomplished. All the postmaster wants is for ar- t rangements to be made to care for e the mail after its arrival until the v cffice is opened. This early mail t would be a great convenience to the r business men of the town, and it t ought to be arranged for, but it can- f not be done unless the citizens will v help in the matter. j m - g A Knowing Parrot. e "What a fine parrot you have!" * said Harold to the voung woman on r whom he was calling, relates the Baltimore Sun. "How is he on imitating?" J "Great," said the hostesss. "He can imitate almost anything." "Over at Smith's." continued Har old, "they have a bird that can imitate a kiss to perfection. Can your ^ bird do that?" "No, indeed," answered Mabel indignantly. "Parrots can only imitate, and it is not likely that our bird t would repeat a word that it is not ac- * customed to hear." ( Then polly spoke. 0 "Don't Will! don't, dear," it said. f "Wait until I take this wretched bird 6 out of the room." 1 _ * Too Appreciative. f The Tenor?Do you sing your baby | a to sleep?

There is no better way to judg he growth of a town than by th elephone development therein, an rom this point of view Bamberg : rowing rapidly. New telephones ai eing installed here daily, the nun er of 'phones in use now being grea r than ever, and applications for th astallation of 'phones are coming i aily. The local exchange is kei usy all the time, and if the numbe f 'phones increases as it has for th ast few months, another section ( witchboard will have to be installe nd more help employed. Of cours he good service rendered by the efl ient operators here has had much t o with the growth of the business. Hospital Mass Meeting. The mass meeting held in the tow all Tuesday evening of this week t iscuss the hospital proposition ws ot as largely attended by the cit ents of the town as it should ha^ >eei*, still the number was lart nough to show that the project is o he minds of the people of this con dunity. Dr. V. W.

Graham, and the other by Mr. l I. Denbow, both to be donated. After considerable discussion, aotion was made and carried that ommittee of seven be appointed t he chairman to consider the matt< urther and report at a meeting to I ailed later by this committee.
