Read Herald advertisements and I patronize our advertisers. They will j appreciate your business. Although one of the smallest counties in the State, Bamberg now has eight banks, all flourishing institutions. * * < a cm oil firo nrpnrrpH "Fridav in a ? V ? - , . cottage owned by Mr. J E. Felder in the city. The blaze * was extinguished with little damage. We appreciate the advertising patronage we are receiving, and we might say in this connection that our subscription list continues to grow. Farming lands in Bamberg county that cannot be bought for less than V $60 to $75 an acre are returned for taxation at the pitiful sum of $5 an acre. '-i When you want job printing or advertising, telephone No. 59 and our representative will call. We have a large force, and can give prompt service. Considerable improvement is being made to Nimmons' barber shop. The place is being repainted and a lavatory and hot and cold baths are being installed. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. J. Brooker will entertain Friday evening, March 20, at their home in the city, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Calhoun and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar A. Brown, of Barnwell. Court adjourned on Thursday last, having completed the business of the spring term. The last jury case ^ - / tried was that of Mrs. L. K. Mayfield versus J. K. Mayfield. The verdict was in favor of the plaintiff, v The Herald is receiving quite a number of new subscribers these days, and they are all cash-in-advance, too. The people who take The Herald appreciate it enough to pay for it promptly. Therefore they : Iread it closely and look for its arrival each week, which makes it a fine advertising medium. The large number of boxes already erected on the two rural routes out of Bamberg postoffice shows that the people appreciate the service and the routes will be well patronized. Every person who lives on a rural route should erect a box in order that their mail may be delivered at their * door instead of having to come to the postoffice for it. The whistle of the locomotive on DoWKnrtr 'PhrliQHf railroad will luc uamucitj-ijui - v ' be heard in Bamberg in the next few weeks. The trestle across Saltkeatchie swamp has been completed, and track laying is going on as rapidly as possible. The rails are laid to a point about six or seven miles from Bamberg, and a large locomotive and several cars have recently been put on the road. It will be a pleasant sotmd to Bamberg people when they hear the engine whistle. Colored Fair for Bamberg. The secretary of State has issued a commission to the Bamberg Fair association, a colored organization, with a capital stock of $2,500. The petitioners are Hey ward Johnson and Johnnie Johnson. It is stated that a good part of the capital stock has already been subscribed. It is the purpose of the organization to hold v. v annual county fairs at the county seat. | Examination at Orangeburg. A civil service examination will * * ' ' ^ V. Ar^il 11 d? neia <li waugcuuig un ? j.* * for postmaster at Olar. All male applicants must be at least 21 years old and women applicants must be 18 i years of age or over on the date of; the examination. All applicants must i I be residents of Olar or vicinity, and J application blanks must be filed with j the civil service commission at Washington at least seven days prior to the date of the examination. Last year the compensation of the position was $778. Any information may be sejj" cured from the postmaster at Olar or from the commission. ^ Laundry for Bamberg.* H. M. Graham, Esq., will erect within the next thirty days a brick building next to J. B. Brickie's garage. The building has already been rented to Charlie Ching for a Chinese laundry. Ching is a competent launderer, and will come to Bamberg to open up a laundry within the next four or five weeks in the new building. Militants Burn Coaches. Birmingham, England, March 16. ?Nine coaches belonging to the Midland railway were burned by suffragettes to-day at Kings Norton, near here. & Box Rents to be Higher. There will be one thing connected with the raising of the grade of the Bamberg postoffice that the patrons will not appreciate, we fear, and that is an increase in box rent. The receipts of the office have increased to such an extent that the office will advance one grade July 1st of.this year, but with this increase also comes an increase in the rates for boxes, the box rents being based on the receipts of the office, and as the receipts of the office increase the rent of boxes incrtase. After July 1st small boxes will be 45 cents a quarter, medium boxes 60 cents a quarter, and the drawers 75 cents a quarter. The box rents then will no doubt more than pay the rent of the hiiilrtinir and pmiinment.. including M r?? -7 ? w heat and light. None of this box rent goes to the lessor of the building or the postmaster; it goes to the government, and while it is mighty nice to know that your town is growing, as shown by the postoffice receipts, still patrons will have to pay more for boxes as the office grows. Dr, Hoover's Residence Burns. Monday morning about 4 o'clock fire was discovered in the residence of Dr. H. F. Hoover. Though a hard fight was made by the volunteer firemen, the residence was razed to the ground, with nearly all the contents. A member of Dr. Hoover's family first discovered the fire, which originated near one of the chimneys, and gave the alarm to the other members, who safely escaped before the blaze had made much progress. A fusilade of pistol shots and a long blast from the cotton mill whistle gave the alarm of fire, but by the time many people arrived the fire had made considerable progress, and nothing could be done to check the flames. An effort was made to remove some of the furniture, but very little was saved. Dr. Hoover stated that the house and furniture were partially insured, and that his loss amounted to about $1,000. Vah' tn lW>nmnrk. a! C?? 1.V Supervisor Bruce is making preparations to build a new road from Bamberg to Denmark. It is expected that work will begin on the new road within the next week or ten days. Yesterday Mr. Bruce began surveying and laying out the new road, which will be in practically the same place as the existing road, but will be made thirty feet wide the entire distance. The new road will be built of sand-clav, and will be constructed by the chain gang. 1 This will add a much needed improvement to the county's road system, as the road from Bamberg to Denmark is one of the most traveled roads in the county.

Box Rent Notice. | The first day of April, or rather the last night in March, marks the end of the first quarter in the new postoffice, and as patrons know or ought to know, boxes are rented for three months and no longer, the rent for boxes being payable invariably I in advance. Uncle Sam makes no j exception to this rule, and the law requires that the postmaster collect the rent by the last day of the month before the quarter begins or close the box and rent it to some one else. This is not left to the postmaster, he must carry out the law, and we wish x nofrnno nf tho lO lilipiess upuu LUU JIOHUUO ut Wiiv/ Bamberg office that we are going to carry out the law as is required, therefore we hope that every renter of a box will pay the rent by the last day of this month. Notices will be placed in each box ten days before the end of the month, and at the close of business the last night in March we shall go over the list and every box on which the rent is not paid will be closed. We are provided with stops for combination and key boxes and if the rent is not paid the combination will not work on the morning of the first, nor will one be able to insert a key in a key box. We make this statement in plenty of time, as we don't want to offend any one, and we do not wish to be or even appear arbitrary. We want the patrons satisfied, but we must carry out the rules of the department. DIRECTORY OF TRINITY METHOODIST CHURCH. Preaching every Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.
