whose name the school bears. j.
We are requested to announce that t

school house on Friday, .May 14. as e
announced in this paper last week. (
The many friends of .Mrs. W. D. t

she is recuperating, and will soon be i
out again. f
A large number of teachers stood h

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

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.

donday announcing the death of his
