Beard has moved his stock of groceries into the store vacated by Mr. H. G. Delk. Mrs. L. C. Price will entertain this (Thursday) afternoon complimentary to Mrs. W. Frank Johnson, a recent bride. The Herald Book Store has plenty of fountain pen fillers which we give away to our customers. Call and get one. Monday was the first Monday in the month and salesdav, but there were no public sales, and few people came to town. Mr. and Mrs. W. Frank Johnson arrived in the city last Saturday evening, and they are boarding with Mrs. L. C. Price. The Enterprise Bank opened up for business this week, and is occupying the building next to W. A. Klauber, on Main street. Mr. H. G. Delk has moved his grocery store and meat market into the store owned by Mr. W. D. Rhoad, next to Peoples Bank. A petition is bankruptcy has been filed in the United v States Court against O. L. Lain, a grocer of this city, and his store has been closed. The Herald's pay roll is spent in Bamberg and with Bamberg merchants. Therefore it is to the interest of every tyisiness house in Bamberg to give us their business. The Herald does not publish anonymous communications. It seems that we have published tins 'statement a sufficient number of times for all to be acquainted with it. fSThe R. & H. Drug Store, of Olar, has been chartered with a capital of $500 to engage in a general retail drug business. The officials ace C. F. Riser, president, and L. A. Hart-, zog, secretary and treasurer. The Enterprise Bank will occupy the store recently occupied by A. P. Board as a grocery store. A large safe has been put in and the fixtures were installed Monday of this week, and the bank has opened up for business. To judge by the low rate at which farm lands are returned for taxation, one would think the lands ot Bamberg county-were mighty poor, but this is not the case. There is a great difference between the taxai ble value and the market value. A number of our subscribers in the Ehrhardt section have recently renewed to Mr. Jacob Ehrhardt. Others can do the same, or if you are % ? j ? rnu ~ not now a suDScriDer ana want me Herald, Mr. Ehrhardt will be glad to take your name and money. > The Herald office has simply been '> overrun with work the past month, and we regret that we have not been ^ able to deliver printing as promptly as usual. However, with additional help, we will be in position to take care of all the business given us. The postmaster here has given out a lot of blanks to applicants who wish to stand the examination for rural carrier, which will be held here Saturday, February 14th, in the graded school building. Those who wish application blanks must call at the postoffice for them. Mr. T. J. Hardin and Miss Luella Williams, of Norway, were married at Denmark last Sunday a week ago, the ceremony being performed by Rev. J. D. Huggins at the Baptist parsonage at ten o'clock a. m. The young couple will make their home near this city, where Mr. Hadwin is farming. Mrs. M. R. Rice, of Mt. Pleasant. ' ie one of The Herald's very best friends, and she subscribes for three copies, one for herself and two which she has sent to other friends. In renewing these subscriptions, she writes: "I always look forward for The Herald's prompt arrival, and if it . is a day or two late, I teel as if one of my family were absent, or that an expected letter from home was past due." v. A letter from Mr. J. Clifton Byrd, who is now touring Europe, asks that his paper be sent' to Paris. He says the Herald will surely be an especially welcome visitor over there, where one has to grunt like a chicken and cackle like a pig to get his ham and eggs for breakfast. CViff says the present plans of the party include a trip to Egypt, the Holy Land, and the British Isles before returning to America, and they expect to get back about October or November next, when he hopes to visit Bamberg before returning to San Francisco. It is fourteen years since he left here. / The idea of the average taxable value of farm lands in this county being only $3.67 per acre. We hardly think you could buy the lands of the county at $20 an acre average. We wish the legislature would do something to equalize tax values in this State. That is one of the mos* important things we know the general assembly can do. The sales for January at the local postoffice were nearly $100 more than any previous month. There is no better way to judge the growth of a town than by its postoffice receipts. It seems likely that the bill providing for t-he sale of the State farms and putting the convicts on the roads in the different counties will be passed by the general assembly this year. We hope so. anyway. More Improvements. In order to take care of our increasing business The Herald has had to buy another job press and additional type and machinery. This calls for quite an outlay of money, and we trust that all who owe us will settle promptly. We have out now something like one thousand dollars in advertising and job work accounts, and we must collect this money in a short time. Statements will be sent out as rapidly as possible, and we trust all will/ respond promptly. We have simply been too busy to send out bills for several months past, but with a book-keeper now on the job, all who owe us will be notified very soon. It looks like The Herald will never finish buying printing material. As soon as we get a Httle money ahead it goes for improvements in the office. Honor Roll.
