Farmers report that the recent cool wave caused the appearance of lice on cotton, and a good deal of damage is being done by the pest. ; Cotton has not yet recovered from the cold weather of early spring, and the cool nights of the past week or two have caused further deterioration. Mr. C. J. S. Brooker reports that from less than one-fourth of an acre of Irish potatoes this year he sold 153.00 worth of spuds, had a plenty for use in his hotel, and saved enough seed potatoes for fall planting. Potatoes were a profitable crop this year, and an especially good ' crop was generally gathered. f" Proposes a City Market. I For some time the Bamberg chamber of commerce has been considering the advisability of having a market place; a place where the farmers may park their wagons when they bring their produce to town. The question for the citizens of Bamberg to settle is: Will the house wives patronize such a place? The present method by which the farmer disposes of his produce is very unsatisfactory both to the farmer and to the house keeper. It is unsatisfactory *rx tho farmer in that it necessarily VV bUV -? ? _w ? takes time and trouble to go around to each house to deliver foodstuffs, thereby losing time from duties at home. And the house wives, on the other hand, have to take, perhaps, inferior vegetables and other produce that is brought to their doors, not being sure of another opportunity to get vegetables for the day. Then the competition of trade enters, which always provides a blessing to every community. Before carrying the movement any further, the chamber of commerce would like to get the ideas of the house wives with reference to whether they would be willing to come or send to some designated place and purchase their produce for the day. If this meets with approval, the chain ber asks that the secretary be notified to that effect either- by card, note or phone message, and the plan will be furthered by the chamber of commerce. Garages ("lose Early. Notice is hereby given that until further notice both garages will be closed after 6:30 p. in. ?adv. J. B. BRICKLE W. H. PATRICK. CX>XSOHI1T'IOX KGLLS.

A Courteous Bairbergian. In traveling the highways it is pleasant and refreshing to meet with the gentleman, in manners and cortesy. We are sorry to record that in our experience it is not a Universal attribute to be found in all persons who drive automobiles and Fords. As we came jogging along in 111 j the other day from Prosperity in our: usual gaitpof from 10 to 15 miles the. hour, there was another Ford trail-! ing us for some distance. After awhile we heard the sound of his horn which we returned and drove to the side to let him pass, as we presumed that was what he desired. He drove by and in pr.ssing he raised his hat and s>:id that he would soon take a lead so as not to give us his dust. We do not know who the gentleman is, but he was driving a Ford and his car had on it Bamberg 356. It is so seldom that one meets such courtesy that we can not refrain from mentioning it, and commending it to others. Courtesy and politeness cost nothing, but they count a whole lot in tne sum o: numau uayyiueso. ?Newberry Herald and News. Young Ladies Missionary Society.

The wedding Thursday at Denmark of Miss Sarah Gladys Milhous, of j Columbia, and Mr. Roy LaFitte Tyler, of Savannah, was one of exceptional beauty. The ceremony was performed it Bethel Park Methodist church, the Rev. E. O. Watson, D. D., of Bamberg officiating. A large reception followed at the home of the bride's cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Crum, Jr., where the Milhous family were entertained during their stay in Denmark. The church was elaborately decorated, the chapel being spread in white and banked almost ceiling high with ferns, palms and pink flowers. As the guests were arriving Mrs. William Riley, organist, and Mrs. Lloyd Chitty, soprano, gave a beautiful programme of music, Mrs. Riley also playing the wedding marches. The bride was attended by her three sisters, Miss Von Etta Millions as maid of honor and Misses Helen and Margaret Milhous as bridesmaids; by Miss Martha Ray, of Bamberg as another maid of honor ana Misses Alberta Clinkscales, of Abbeville, Zelma Rizer, of Olar, and Onie Brux, of Midville, Ga., as bridesmaids. Each bridesmaid wore a different color and the maids of honor wore varicolored gowns, the whole semi-circle of young girls grouped around the chancel in the church giving the effect of a pale reflected rainbow. Most of the gowns were o: airy maline over silver cloth and each girl carried an armful of pink roses tied with maline to match her frock. Several pretty children taking part were: Martha Milhous, the bride's little sister, as ring bearer; Wyatt Seybt, as cushion bearer; Byrl Price, of Denmark, and Mary Livy Wade, of Charleston, as flower girls, and Caroline Tarr, of Olar, and Shannon Ray, of Bamberg, as ribbon children. The ushers were: Mr. Donald Duncan, of Columbia; Mr. Adair, of NewYork; Mr. Corpening of Savannah, and Mr. Campbell Tyler, of Charleston. . The bride was lovely in her gown nf w-Viita mnlinp and satin, with state ly train draped up with a bow of maline and orange blossoms, her only ornament, an old cameo pin. an heirloom of the family. She wore a filmy tulle veil and carried a boquet of bride roses and orange blossoms. She entered with her father, Mr. J. D. Milhous, and the bridegroom came in with his best man, his brother, Mr. John Tyler, of Denmark. The reception following was tendered by the bride's parents and was a notably lovely affair. The handsome home was decorated throughout the lower floor, even to the broad piazzas upon which palms and flowering plants were grouped. There punch was dispensed, and indoors, a refreshing ice course and wedding cake were served, the latter in the form of individual confections iced in pale green and topped, each, with a tiny pink rose. The ices were pink. The rainbow effect was carried out in the dining room where the table was placed beneath a rose garlanded chandelier from which ribbons of different colors were drawn down to the four corners. The bride's cake in the centre was iced in white and decorated with two hearts pierced by PiiniH'c ?arrnu- j The wedding presents, displayed in one room, were numerous and beautiful. Among them was a handsome chest of silver?the gift of the bridegroom's sister, Mrs. Sturgeon, of Denmark. Mr. and Mrs. Tyler left that night for the North, their itinerary to include Niagara Falls, Toronto, New York city and other places of interest. Upon their return South after about a month, they will be at home in Savannah, where Mr. Tyler is connected with the Seaboard Air Line railroad.
