The Herald office has recently printed up a lot of wages contracts, and those who wish them can now be supplied. Those who expect to stand the ex * V" T-o 1 y">Q wrior t A bp am m a nun lkji ? held here next Saturday, the 14th. had best read carefully the rules and regulations governing the examination. The political pot is beginning to boil in this county. We hear rumors of candidates, and Mr. H. W. Chitty < announces his candidacy this week for re-jelectiOn as county commissioner. We have been gratified at the number of new subscribers received recently, and they continue to come. There are plenty of people who should quit borrowing the paper and subscribe for themselves, and \ye hope to receive many news names 1 this month. Let the January record keep up. Miss Llewellyn Cleckley will conduct the Woman's Home Mission Society meeting next Tuesday after- 1 noon in the ladies' parlor of the Methodist church. The meeting will Koedn nromDtlv at four o'clock. An interesting program has been prepared, and the members are urged to be present. \ I Mr. R. M. Hitt, who has accepted a position with The Herald, arrived in the city last Thursday evening, ' and is now "on the job." If prospec- i tive advertisers or those wanting job printing will call our phone, he will be glad to assist them in preparing copy for ads. or job work. ' He will .endeavor to call on our customers right often, and he will also appreciate items 01 news given him. The Herald hopes and expects to . do more business this year than ever before. Our expenses have increased wonderfully in the last year or so. , until now it has gotten to be that . Saturday night is a time to be dreaded, as the force must be paid off each week. We trust that our patrons j will realize that as these salaries must be paid cash every Saturday night, that we cannot afford to car- . ry accounts for job printing and ads. for several months, but must collect promptly. We want ail the business < we can get, and will be in position , # IO IciKt; care or it. The examination for rural carriers for the two new rural routes out of Bamberg will be held at the graded school building in this city next Saturday morning, the 14th, beginning ; at 9.30 o'clock. So far seventeen j applicants have been issued permits to stand the examination. Service i on these routes is to commence on Monday, March 2nd, and all patrons i of the routes are requested to have their mail boxes up by that time. ; Mail is not delivered to persons on i the rural routes unless they have a 1 box, but two or more persons are allowed to use one box. < The Herald has been obliged to J 'discontinue furnishing day current to a number of people in town. Our generator at the cotton mill was 1 overloaded, and we could not cut off 1 one without cutting off all. Since 1 we have erected the postoffice building next door, it makes our office dark and we have to use lights practically all the time, and we need all the current from the generator for ^ our own purposes, especially as we have added another job press to our equipment. We trust that the town electric plant will put on a day cur- , rent this summer, if not earlier. It is needed, but whether it would be paying proposition is exceedingly doubtful. Byrnes is a Worker. A gentleman in town recently received a letter from a relative in Washington, and in the letter he has a good word to say for Congressman J as. F. Byrnes. It is a personal letter, and not intended for publication, but we are publishing a portion of it. This gentleman says: "I have been up to see Congressman Byrnes several times. He certainly is a fine man anH <tome worker?alwavs on the job. I went to see him one even-1 ing last week around seven o'clock "and he was working away to beat the band. I am sorry I cannot come down and give him a vote." Gunboat Coming up Mississippi. New Orleans, Feb. 10.?The Mexican Federal Zaragosa late to-daycrossed the border at the mouth of the Mississippi River and proceeded up the river toward New Orleans. Although the destination of the vessel was announced from Vera Cruz when it left there several days ago, the ? purpose of the visit here has not been definitely determined. A Beautiful Wedding^-* A marriage of unusual beauty and interest was solemnized last Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Trent, wlren their daughter, Miss inez, became the bride of Mr/ W. Frank Johnson, of South Carolina. This wedding was marked by its Simplicity, yet abounding in perfect beauty. In the hall trailing cedar was twined in pleasing effect, and the parlor was a beautiful bridal setting in pink and green, where a wealth of pink carnations blossomed against a u 1 -?-/m* ^f i 1 n UiUJK^I UUilU Ui XZ V ci 1 ttno, niiiiV/ I flusters of pink candles shone among them. Mrs. Allen *T. Hopper presided at the piano, and just before the ceremony, Miss Gertrude Fagge, in a rich melodious voice, sang "At Dawning" by Cadman. The song ended, the pianist quickly sounded the first notes of the wedding march as Masters Allen Ivie and Ralph Trent entered, bearing pink ribbons, forming an aisle for the bridal party. As the tones of the march pealed forth louder, Rev. R. E. White, the pastor of the bride, entered and stood in front of the beautifully improvised altar. Following closely came pretty little Miss Roselyn Trent, a niece of the bride, daintily clad in a white batiste hand embroidered dress, and carrying the wedding ring in the heart of a perfect rose. The bride in her blue traveling suit with hat and accessories matching, entered leaning on the arm of her sister, Miss Dorothea Trent, becomingly gowned in amethyst crepe ae chine over charmeuse. As they neared the altar they were met by the groom, attended by M. A. Trent, of Stoneville. No more impressive or beautiful . service has been recited than that- in which the officiating minister linked together these two lives, and no cou pie looked more radiantly happy, as they stood with clasped hands and plighted their troth each to the other. Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson left on the afternoon train, presumably on an extended bridal tour, leaving their immediate destination a mystery. The bride is one of the town's sweetest young women and possesses many amiable traits of character, v\hile the groom is a sterling young business man of South Carolina, in which State they will make their future home. Following the marriage, an informal reception was held. Inviting the guests to the dining room were Misses Annie Waller and Gracie Trent. The dining room, presided over by Mrs. A. E. Millner was a beautiful study in pink and white. A delicious course was served by Misses Sunshine Taylor and Gertrude Fagge. mrs r f Tvip received in the gift room where a splendid array of gifts attested the popularity of the couple. A fitting beginning for this ideal day was the breakfast given the bridal party at 11.30 at Oak view, the home of the bride. Covers were laid for twelve at the artistically decorated table. In the center of the board, a tall cut glass vase held a great bouquet of mammoth pink carnations, yand brass candlesticks with pink shaded candles lighted the pretty scene. Four perfectly appointed courses were served, and the favors were dainty little pink heart-shaped cases tilled with mints.?Leaksville, N. C., Courier. New Adverisements. Mrs. M. J. Black?For.

HODGES, Pastor, Railroad Avenue, Bamberg, S. C. ? Death of Mr. J. A. Byrd. I This city and community was greatly shocked last Friday evening when it became known that Mr. J. A. Byrd had passed away ajbout six o'clock, his death occurring at his home on Midway street in this city, j * He had been sick for several days. I and while some or his friends knew that his condition was serious, still his death came as a surprise. Mr. Byrd suffered an attack of acute indigestion the Saturday night previous. and while he partially recovered, other complications set in, and although he was doing as well as could be expected, another attack of heart failure came suddenly Friday evening and death ensued before physicians could reach his bedside. The funeral services were conducted Sunday morning at ten o'clock, after which the burial took place in South-end cemetery. Rev. W. H. Hodges, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, this city, conducted the services. The Apollo Music Club rendered several selections at the house and at the grave. The floral offerings were unusually beautiful and i handsome, attesting the love and esteem of a large circle of friends of the deceased and family. The pall bearers were: Honorary ?C. R. Brabham, Sr., W. M. Brabham, G. Frank Bamberg, Dr. J. B. Black, D. P. Hooton, Capt. W. A. Riley, J. A. Murdaugh, and H. C. Folk. Active?J, B. Felder, G. M. Dickinson, H. H. Stokes, W. D. Coleman, C. R. Brabham, Jr., H. J. Brabham, E. H. Henderson, and H. F. Bamberg. Mr. Byrd was sixty-five years old, and leaves a wife and one son, Clifton, who is now in Europe, and three daughters, Misses Annie Lou, Ruth, and Lallah, the last named now being a student at Columbia College. He came to Bamberg about twentyfive years ago, and at first farmed on the old Hartzog place near town, which he had purchased. Later he purchased a mercantile business and moved to town, and since that time had been identified with every movement looking to the progress and well being of the city and community. He was successful in all his business undertakings, and had accumulated a, considerable fdrtune. Mr. Byrd was a progressive and liberal citizen, and he will be largely missed, not only by his immediate family, but especially in business and church circles, where his services and counsel were always in demand. Two years ago, upon the resignation of Mr. H. J. Brabham, Sr., Mr. Byrd was elected president of Bam- ? berg Banking Company, he retiring from the mercantile business to accept this position, and during that time the institution has kept up its record of growth and prosperity. Mr. Byrd was a member of the Methodist church, and had for years 1 been a member of the board of * stpwards. for the nast several years , *T " * I being chairman of the board. He ( was also a member of the board of control of Carlisle School, and in him the school had a faithful and devoted friend. Mr. Byrd was of modest, retiring 1 disposition, but a man of strong char- 1 acter and fine business qualities. His numerous friends in the city and elsewhere sorrow over his death. Mrs. Price Entertains. <> On Thursday afternoon, February 5th. Mrs. L. C. Price entertained in honor of Mrs. W. Frank Johnson, a recent bride. i From 3.30 to 6.30 the doors of i this hospitable home, noted in by- < gone days for the number and charm t of its social functions, were thrown ? open, and the bud and flower of Bam- e berg society mingled there in delight- t ful social converse. s The weather man was kind, and s ^ i the day was deiignttuny ciear auu c sunshiny, and the air as miid and ? balmy as May. j cThe hostess, assisted by Mrs. .T. W. \ Price, welcomed the guests, ar.d pre- j sented them to the fair honoree, i while Mrs. G. Moye Dickinson grace- t fully presided over the punch .bowl in the hall, which was artistically j decorated in ferns and pot plants. s Xo games were played, but the t guests were entertained with delight- ? ful music, vocal and instrumental, s by Miss Zelda Halford, of Blackville, c and Mrs. LaVerne Thomas and Miss \ Kate Rentz. < Delicious refreshments, consisting i of a salad course, were served by Misses Rebecca Dickinson, Edith t Rice, and Gene Price, after which t each guest was asked to register her < name in the bride's book. i Among those enjoying Mrs. Price's i hospitality were: .Mesaames j. w.
