L. d Brief Items of Interest Throughout | the Town and County. ! ^ L There will be a picnic at Duncan- | ville school house Saturday, .May 22d. j " The public is cordially invited. The young people of the town enjoyed a fish fry at the river last Fri- I day evening. Notwithstanding tlie | rain, they had a nice time. a Tuesdav, .May 4th. was observed ? as holiday by Carlisle school, in honor I o of the birth of Dr. James H. Carlisle, whose name the school bears. j. We are requested to announce that t there will be no picnic at Hapipton t school house on Friday, .May 14. as e announced in this paper last week. ( The many friends of .Mrs. W. D. t Rhoad, who recently underwent an operation, will be glad to know that ( she is recuperating, and will soon be i out again. f A large number of teachers stood h the examination at the court house I last Friday. This was the last exam- b ination before the regular examin- t< aton next fall. r On account of the Methodist church being repaired there will be no e preaching service there next Sunday. n The m^n's Bible class will meet in t! the Carlisle school auditorium. d A mothers' day programme was rendered last Sunday by the Baptist Sunday-school. A splendid pro- g gramme had been arranged, and the exercises were very interesting. Married at the Baptist parsonage, Ehrhardt, by the pastor. Rev. J. R. ci Smith, on the 12th inst., Mr. Jacob ci Herbert Hayden, of Cope, and Miss cl Jarneile Hoffman, of Ehrhardt. w Thevlong drought has been broken oI at last, and there is plenty of rain ? flvorvu-hpre now. The drought was ai ' general over this State. With the ex- ^ ception of a few localities, there had 23 been no rain of consequence in this State within about six weeks. ^ Q' Capt. and Mrs. W. A. Riley an- eJ nounce the engagement of their ^ daughter, Ruth, to Mr. W. S. Des- ^ Portes, of Ridgeway, the marriage to G" take place in June. Miss Riley is a ^ graduate of Winthrop college and is m very popular in Bamberg, where the news of her approaching marriage q will be received with much interest. j, No meeting of Bamberg lodge, ai Knights of Pythias, was held last Monday evening, as the chancellor a! commander, after a personal canvass, ai could not induce enough members to tl attend to form a quorum. There was pi no lack of members at the smoker held at the last meeting, two weeks 01 ago, but they seem to have become v< indifferent very quickly. The ball team being organized here to play thi6 summer is getting ready to line up for business. The S merchants and others of the city a1 have made liberal contributions to- e3 ward equipping the team. The per- b( sonnel of the team was given last ** - - 3 oi week. On the list win oe iouna gooa ? ball players, and the team will no a* doubt make a record for itself this summer. w of The Methodist Sunday-school conducted a children's day exercise last ca Sunday morning, in place of the reg- ^ ular morning service. A very inter- se esting and entertaining programme at was carried out, including recitations and songs by the Sunday-school pupils. During the exercises a number .Q of the babies of the cradle roll were in rolled through the church in their carriages. The attention of our readers, especially the farmers, is called to the weather forecast published in The Herald each week. This forecast is sent direct to The Herald from the United States weather bureau, and is for the week following the date of publication. As to the accuracy of the forecast, it may be mentioned that last week the forecast predicted rain within a "day or so." LaVerne Thomas & Co. are having put up on all street corners signs displaying the name of the street. E and carrying advertising matter for them. This is quite a novel adver- ^ tising scheme. It is quite interesting to note that Mr. Thomas had to p resort to the original plats of the city to ascertain the names of many ^ streets, as no one could give the correct names in many instance:. si Inquiries among the farmers indi7" cate that the grain crops nave Deen ?seriously damaged on account of dry weather. The rains will help a great C deal, but many farmers state that the rain came too late for their oat crops, g It is said that wheat is more hardy and stands drought better than oats, B and if this is the case the wheat may not be much damaged, though the crop has undoubtedly been cut to B some'extent. With the area in grain in this county increased several hun- ni dred per cent, this year, the damage to the farmers may readily be es- E iimated. B The interior of Trinity .Methodist luirch is being repainted and a new arpet is being put down. On account of tlie absence of the astor there will be no preaching sorices at the Baptist church next Stuiav. The closing exercises of Clear 'ond school will be held at the chool house on Friday night. .May 1st. beginning at S.uu o'clock. Ti e utblic is cordially invited to attend he exercises. In order to make room for another hipment of box paper, which will irrive in the next few days, the Herld Book Store is now selling any >ox of sample paper in the store for f>c?some lor less. The Carlisle base ball team again las the prep championship. While he full schedule of games has not ieen played yet. the team has won nough games to win the pennant, ^arlisle has an unusually good team his year. .Mr. Claude Parseil, a student at Carlisle school, received a telegram donday announcing the death of his ather, .Mr. H. N. Parnell, at his lome at Luray. Hampton county. Mr. 'arnell is pitcher on the Carlisle all team, and had gone to Charleson with the team when the message RorMhoro- Tho niPQMCo orwarded to Charleston and deliverd to him there. As the team had o one to take his place as pitcher, he games with Georgetown and Anrews high schools were called off. MEMORIAL DAY. xercises Held Monday.?Dinner Served Veterans.
