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

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.

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.

Young Ladies Missionary Society.
The Young Ladies Missionary sociey
of Trinity Methodist church was
entertained at the home of Miss Corinne
Fowle- on Wednesday afternoon,
June i5. After the missionary
programme was finished, each
young lady was given a pencil and
paper and was asked to answer the
following questions: "Can we help
the mill children of our town?" "If
so, in what way?" Many suggestive
answers were given. It was decided
that we should help the civic league
in giving the children of the mill a
play ground. After all of the business
was through, an ice course was
served.?Contributed.

RAINBOW WEDDING.
In ivovely .setting Was the Miliums-j
Tyler Maniage at Denmark.
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. The bride has lived in Columbia
for a number of years and will
be missed by her many friends there.
She was graduated two years ago
from Columbia college.
