A good rain fell Tuesday in Bam-" berg and vicinity, the first in about three weeks. The friends of Mr. Charlie Mitchell are glad to see him in the ticket office after several days' illness. The board of county commissioners held the regular monthly meeting Monday. Only routine matters were transacted. Large congregations will no doubt attend the church services next Sunday, as it is Easter and people will want to show their new clothes. Good progress is being made on the Bamberg-Denmark road. Supervisor Bruce says the road will be completed in about three months. Monday was the first Monday in the month, but there were no public sales and few people from the country came to town. They are too busy now to visit much. Messrs. J. A. Hunter, G. D. Ryan and A. M. Denbow, of Bamberg, motored over to Barnwell Thursday and attended the barbecue at Hagood's mill in honor of Judge Sease.?Barnwell People. A commission has been issued by the secretary of State to the Home Building and Loan association, of Bamberg, with a capital stock of nafitinnora hoin? Dr. , V,VUU, IIIC M mw?Q George F. Hair and Mr. W. Des, Portes Coleman. Rev. W. R. McMillan assisted in the dedication of the new Baptist church at Hilda on Sunday. In his absence, Rev. Mr, Bozeman, traveling representative of the Baptist Courier, preached at the*Baptist church, morning and evening. Mr. W. D. Rhoad says the races are certainly mixed up badly in Cuba, and it is a pretty hard matter to tell who is really white. He also says there is considerable social equality among the races, that he saw all colors at a masquerade ball, all dancing together. ;C -, The new county board of registration met at the court house Monday of this week, this being their first ; meeting. The board organized and elected Geo. J. Hiers chairman. Themembers of the board are: Geo. J. wi^re "Rhrhardt: Geo. Turner. Den Mark; J. G. Rhoad, Fishpond. The rails of the Bamberg-Ehrhardt railroad are laid to a point just outside of town, and the whistle of the locomotive can be plainly heard. There is some work to be done on the Lemon swamp trestle, and this will cause some delay. Otherwise the rails would be laid to town this week. T We learn that Mr. H. W. McMillan, the new depot agent, will occupy the residence of Capt. W. R. Wright, on Bridge street. Capt. Wright's family will move either to Savannah or Augusta. At present Mrs. Wright and daughter are spending a while in the country with her daughter, Mrs. B. F. Hill. Supervisor Bruce tells us that he started w<-rk last Friday on the new road from Bamberg to Denmark. Work was started on the Denmark end. He proposes to make this the widest and best road in the county, and it should be, as it is the most important highway we have. The work is being done with the county chain gang. If you don't believe that advertising pays, ask any patron of The Herald. Two weeks ago Mr. H. M. Graham advertised that he was starting a new series of the Standard Building & Loan Association, and he showed us letters from a number of out-of-town parties stating they had seen the advertisement and wanted some shares. He says the advertisement paid him handsomely. Advertising in The Herald certainly pays, &s our advertising patronage has increased very much over what it formerly was. In fact we are growing a little all the time, for which we thank our customers and for which we try to give them full value for their money. Our circulation continues to grow steadily. We have added more new subscribers this year so rar man ever ueiore except when we were running a contest. Some Fish Story. As a disciple of the mighty Ximrod, Mr. Roy Kearse, of Ehrhardt, has entrenched himself behind a most enviable record. A few days since he drew forth a bag net with the following variety of water dwellers: One alligator, three "cooters," one cat fish, one trout, one "sucker," and four perch. If there is one in Bamberg county who can beat this for a single catch, we would like to know it. New* Advisements. Peoples Bank?Have You a Bank Account? F. Marion Green?For Sale.

Carlisle School baseball team opens the 1914 season, at Rhoad Park, next Thursday, April the 9th, with the unarieston nign scnuoi aggicgauuu. The team has. been doing hai*d work and has had a few practice games. They are going in to defend their title as the State prep champions for another year. The game will be called at 4.00 o'clock promptly. Let everybody come out and see the game. Glendale Spring. This spring, on the plantation of Col. Jno. F. Folk, is getting to be a most popular resort for people in town. A number of people go out there every day to get the water, and it is no unusual sight to see three or four automobiles at the spring at one c. Numbers of people bring thr water home with them, some of ' jem drinking no other water. All who have tasted the water are charmed with it. It is certainly a fine waver, and the analysis shows t to have considerable medical properties which are beneficial to anybody. The flow of the spring has increased very much recently, owing to imDrovements which Col. Folk has made. The flow now is something like seventy gallons a minute, a four inch iron pipe has been put down to the rock and the flow of water fills this pipe, it flowing out at the top and falling over like a fountain into the cement basin. The water has also broken out in nearby places, and Col. Folk will soon have a much larger basin put in and try to control the flow. It is his idea that the spring is really located a short distance from where it springs out, and that the water is now coming out through fissures in the rock. He will endeavor to locate the exact spot where the spring really comes from. There is no question but that the spring is susceptible to development, and it may be piped to town or a regular resort be made of the place. It is certainly beautifully situated for development. Married" in Spartanburg. The following clipping from the Spartanburg Herald will be of interest to the many friends of the bride, as she with her parents formerly lived at Denmark, this county: A marriage which came as a delightful surprise to friends, not only in this city, but throughout the State, occurred yesterday morning at 11 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents on Woodward street, when .Miss Ethel Kearse was united in marriage to John Ray Simpson. Rev. E. S. Alderman, pastor of the First Baptist church, performed the ceremony in the presence of a few friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson left at noon for Atiania ana ouier puims, ?uuc they will spend their honeymoon and on their return will be at home to their friends on North Dean street. Mrs. Simpson is originally from the lower part of the State, but since coming to Spartanburg has made many friends who will read of her marriage with pleasurable interest. She was formerly stenographer for The Herald. Mr. Simpson is from Laurens, but now holds a position in this city, where he has made many friends, who hold him in the highest esteem. The following announcements were mailed to-day: Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Kearse announce the marriage of their daughter, Ethel Mary to John Ray Simpson, Tuesday, March 31, 1914, Spartanburg, South Carolina. At home after April 10, 221 North Dean street.

Folk showed us a new departure for this country. He had recently put in a well curb of brick and a cement horse trough. He had made a most excellent trough of large size for the small amount of^ $3.20, and it will last a life time. One of lumber would have cost nearly or quite as much and it would have been rotten in a few years. He had the mould of the trough made from cheap lumber and into the mold was poured the cement and sand after it was mixed. When the mixture hardened the mold was removed. This is a movement that could be followed with profit by many-of our large farmers, especially as lumber is getting higher and the quality poorer all the time. DIRECTORY OF TRINITY METHOODIST CHURCH.
