SHORT LOCAJLS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
Farming operations are going
rapidly forward during this tine
weather.
Mr. A. P. 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.
