Faust has our thanks for some very nice pecans, which he kindly left at our office while we were out. Clean up your back lots and remove all trash from your premises before Christmas and thus help to prevent fires. Mr. B. F. Folk and family, of the Spring Branch section, have moved to town and are occupying the Pearlstine house. Patrons of the postoffice are asked to mail their packages before the Christmas rush. Wrap and tie all packages securely. Christmas time makes no difference to an editor or postmaster. He has to work just as hard or harder than usual all during the holidays. Mr. G. D. Ryan has sold his moving picture show, the Rex Theatre, to Messrs. Culler and Wolfe, of Orangeburg, who are now operating 4 v *- it. The graded school and Carlisle School will suspend exercises Friday of this week for the Christmas holidays. Twa weeks' holiday will be given. . Mr. F. E. Copeland announces the marriage of his daughter, Sophie, to Mr. W. G. Muller, of Islandton, the marriage to take place at the home of the brido in January. Read The Herald advertisements. . Those who use our columns will appreciate your tra<Je and have something to offer you or they would ^not pay for space to tell you about their goods. The entertainment given at the graded school building last Wednesday evening to raise funds for the school library was well attended and quite successful in every jray. The receipts were something more than __ ' fifty dollars. ' Last Saturday the Governor issued an order disbanding the military companies at Bamberg, Barnwell, Bennettsville, and Conway. This action was taken because of the poor showing made by these companies at a recent inspection. The bazaar given in the court house last Thursday afternoon and evening was a most successful affair. It wras given to raise funds for furnishin| the lobby of tl\e new. brick dormitory at Carlisle School. A nice sum was realized Messrs. Cecil R. Culler and ^Lenair F. Wolfe, of this city, have bought out the moving picture show in Bam Derg ana will run it irom now ou. 1 Both of these gentlemen are hust. lers and w\e wish them success.? Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Bamberg is without a military company at present, the Bamberg Guards having been disbanded by the governor. We trust this condition will not exist long, and hope the young men of the town will soon get together and organize a good military > organization. Mr. Arthur M." Kittrell, who is well-known and has relatives in Bamberg, died at Landrum, Spartanburg county, last week. He leaves a wife and several children. Mr. Kittrell was cashier of a bank in Florence for a number of years, but moved to . x Landrum when' his health broke down. It is right hard to say when we will move into the new post office. We expected to move tne lauer pan of this week, but owing to the delay in getting the tile laid in the lobby, we cannot do so. Maybe we will move before Christmas, and while we # certainly hope so, it is by no means certain. ' The congressional investigating committtee, which had in charge the probing of the charges of political corruption made against Congressman Richard S. Whaley by Mayor John P. Grace, has dismissed the proceedings and the chairman of the committee states that the matter is at an end so far as his committee is concerned. All persons who wish boxes at the new post office will please see the postmaster or one of the clerks at once. There are not so very many boxes left, and while there will no doubt be enough 'for all, still we want everybody to get a box if they wish one, and there is nothing like being on time. Select your box without delay. Editor Knight says in The Bamberg fViof 'MTrttntMnC nror t n n cnu mat .uutvi v? v* v > Orangeburg to attend plays has become a popular pastime. Several from here attended a play there last Friday night." The Bamberg folks are always welcome in Orangeburg. When you finish that postoffice building, Brother Knight, we want you to come over, too.?Orangeburg Sun. % Jones Bros, and J. J. Smoak eact received a car of stock during th( past week.
