We hope our good old patron saint will give each of the boys and girls everything they ask for, if it is possible, so that Christmas will be joyful to them. The Herald is printing the letters just as they are writi ten, for the manner in which the little folks write and ask for gifts from Santa is one of the quaintest things about letters to Santa Claus. . Unless the price of printing paper is reduced, the paper bill of The Bamberg Herald will be over three hundred dollars more in 1917 than it was in 1916. It is imperative that tfiis increase must be met in some way. We are afraid The Herald cannot much longer continue to send the paper at $1.50 a year. But if our subscribers will pay their subscriptions promptly, we will have less loss on subscription accounts, and consequently we will receive more money. In this way it may be possible for us to continue the paper at the same price. < This edition of The Bamberg Herald is issued with some pardonable Dride by The Herald force. The edition contains more pages than perhaps any issue ever printed* in this city, and carries decidedly more advertising. We wish to take this opportunity of thanking each one of the merchants and others using space in this edition. The growth of the advertising patronage of the paper reflects the growth of the town, and we are pretty sure there are a great many larger cities in this State that would find it extremely difficult to publish a paper with the amount of advertising that The Herald is carrying today. Bamberg has not for the past few years been afflicted with the carnivals. We now understand that one of these nefarious aggregations is to come to this city within the next week or two. * A ?r/N ! ?at nf Arn ; 'I'M?

You j j ought to have seen the condition I was in, broken out ! from head to foot with eczema, awful sores, and I jjpuld ! not stand to work or worry. But I can say, and will ; without any doubt, that Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy has Ldone more for me than I thought could be done in that length of time. "Mw hraaifin? mit has disappeared; my stomach seems j to have gotten regulated, and I am getting along fine. It done me so much good that I bought a treatment for my two daughters, who were both suffering from indigestion and general run-down condition. It has acted like a charm on both of them. It is a regular family tonic. "FRANK ROWLAND, "142 Ferry Street, Augusta, Ga." | Mrs. O. E. Brown, Clark Street, Augusta, says: "Al; though I have tried lots of medicines for the purpose of j trying to build up my system and give me flesh and \ strength, I have not found any of them to give me as : good results as I have gotten from Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. Although I didn't have a great deal of faith in 1 it at first, I have decided it must be a great remedy, for j I felt better just as soon as I began taking it. I hope j the people who are selling it much success." j Mr. R. W. Rhodes, Genesta Hotel, Augusta, Ga. I Dear Sir: I thank you for getting me started in the , premier tonic, Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. It certainly has helped me for indigestion and nervousness. I had ; no desire to eat before I began taking your tonic, but ; now I simply can't satisfy my appetite. I have only gained about six pounds on one bottle, and feel lots betj ter in every way. I advise everyone suffering with I stomach trouble to try Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy at j once. It is a splendid tonic. i MRS. L. E. DAVIS, Fenwick Street, Augusta, Ga. Gentlemen. I wish to thank you all for the marvelous miracles you have done for me.

Respectfully, I. MRS. A. S. BLANTON, 109 Wofford Street, Spartanburg, S. C. [ f: To Whom It May Interest: Last summer my health gave way and I commenced to grow thin and pale; could not sleep or eat; everything I ate soured on my stomach, and in spite of all our fami1> doctor could do I had to go to bed. I stayed there about five months. We had three of the best doctors in Spartanburg, Drs. Lenard, Floyd and Lyles. They worked faithfully on me, but absolutely without any result whatsoever. Finally they said instead of having dyspepsia I had consumption. But if I did they could not do me any good. After Mrs. A. S. Blanton had been cured and was able to come to see me, I decided I would try it also. Well, my doctors like to have had a fit when they heard I was taking it and made fun of me until I got mad. But I stuck to my remedy. I had used three - ? - ?? ?. n.Vnn WITT ^ AO+Ar Domes ana was aoie 10 sil up oue utxy wucu LXXJ UV/WVft came by; then he asked to see the medicine. I let him look at in and he said: "Well, I don't like to brag on patent medicine, but that is surely doing you good, and I hope you will stick to it until you get well, for I believe it is going to cure you, so I'd stick to it." When I got Mr. Rhodes this statement I was finishing up my twelfth bottle. I. had gained 37 pounds In weight, and instead of looking pale and thin I had as much color as any woman would wish for. I never fail to recommend it to my lady friends, and it has always proven to be ^ the greatest medicine that ever came to our city. I will gladly tell anybody, even by mail, what I know - J about the premier tonic, Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. I Respectfully, 1 VICTORIA WINFREE, 1 Spartanburg, S. C. , P. S.?The young lady who makes the above statement was forced to cancel her engagement to marry a young man from Tennessee, as she didn't think she would ever be well enough to be married. After having taken our Remedy and feeling that she was cured and I vv?ob- tr, nature /and shp was one of the most handsome uav-rv v - ?? ? young ladies at the time I saw her), they thought it safe to get married and did so last April.
