Miss Jennings, who proved a delightful , hostess, shared the honors with these young ladies who unitedly helped to make this social gathering a success. The home was decorated in roses, verily, the flowers of spring. Music, ' > games and conversation, all in their turn, were engaged in. These young people were largely free to do the things they wanted to do for just a i few hours. Sandwiches and iced tea were served the guests by Misses May Bowman and Bessie Lee Black, who were assisted hy Mrs. Loving, good. Miss Ochie May Jennings as sisted her sister in making the time pass most pleasantly, all too hurriedly by those who attended this party, who were: Miss Thelma Bruce with Mr. Robinson; Miss Mary Lee Grimes with Mr. Culler, Miss Thelma Ellzey with Mr. Odell Smoak, Miss Hazel Armstrong with Mr. Hazel, Miss Mary Williams with Mr. Emmanuel, Miss Mary Ann Bronson with Mr. Lever; Miss Jennie Simmons with Mr. Brabham; Miss Evelyn Brabham with Mr. Roy Free, Miss Mildred Jones with Mr. Kirkland, Miss Gene Price with Mr. McCants. Others who attended were: Messrs. Parrott, Turnipseed, Gibson, Luther, Sanders and Charlie Moye. \ Statement From Mr. Wyman. _ The chairman of the liberty loan compaign states that from reports received from members of the liberty loan committee and from the banks, that the response of the people in subscribing to the loan at the call of the government is satisfactory on the whole, and the people of the county are realizing as never before that this is their war, that their own men are actively in it, and that they have a duty to perform in answering to the calls of their government at this critical time. The chairman and the committee members are much concerned, however, ? J* wof itfolrr over LUC clllILUUt; Ui a tuiupaian* cij small number of citizens who do not realize the fact that the duty to subscribe to bonds is a personal and present duty, and the indifference of some is appalling. Some seem to imagine that having a son or brother In service excuses them from also supplying money for war purposes. The having of sons, brothers, relatives and friends in the army or navy of the country should be all the more reason why one should give gladly of his time, energy and money, and the chairman urges that all committeemen stress the personal responsibility of all citizens to come to the aid of their country. Cement Walks on Main Street. Contractor W. J. Nichols is engaged this week in laying some ce ment walks across Main street. They ire four in number, and are being located at the corner of Main street | ind Railroad avenue; in front of Dr. Black's drug store; in front of the Bamberg Herald, and at the corner Df Main and Elm streets. .If we can't have a paved Main street, this is perhaps the next best thing. It will enable people to cross from one side of the street to the >ther, which is hardly possible in wet weather?without the aid of a boat. Pedestrians will certainly be glad of the new improvement, and everybody joins in the hope that ere long they will be able to cross the street anywhere, instead of having to go to a jrossing. Negroes to Buy Bonds. An organized campaign among the jolored people of the county tias been planned by the colled council of defense in the interest of liberty bonds. Rev. H. H. Matthews, chairman, and Rev. L. W. Williams, secretary of the council, jailed a meeting of the colored people to be held in Bamberg yesterday afternoon (Wednesday j tor tne purpose of perfecting campaign arrangements. The colored people are besoming throughly aroused over the various phases of war work, and :heir leaders state that the colored people can be counted on to do their part. Already some fine work has been done by the colored council, ind they expect to keep it up. Bamv berg county is fortunate in securing :he hearty cooperation of both white and colored people in war work. The colored Red Cross has already done ind is continuing to do excellent work. This branch has made up a large quantity of war materials and is pushing the work right along. ^ <o> ? New Advertisements. Jones Bros.?For Sale. L. B. Fowler?^or Sale. Tom Ducker?We Carry. J. B.

The comimttee in charge of the express office matter in this city has received the following letter from the railroad commission: "The commission had hoped to be able to handle the express situation at Bamberg at our meeting today, and had officials of the express company with us at said meeting. They informed the commission that it has been impossible to get the data necessary for the commission to have before them before acting regard to the situation at Bamberg. However, these officials assured the commission that they would have the statements ready by the next official meeting day, ***hich will be Wednesday, April i 7th. You may rest assured that the commission is doing all in its power to secure adequate express accommodations at Bamberg." Thought There Was Fire. Saturday afternoon what was generally thought to be an alarm of fire came pretty near breaking up the patriotic meeting at the court house. All the stores on Main street were closed for the meeting, and all the business men were at the meeting. While Congressman Byrnes was speaking, a series of detonations, sounding very much like a light artillery bombardment, were heard down the street. Some one' said it was a fire, and the crowd began to shift uneasily, Mr. Byrnes told them if it was a fire they had better go and put it out, whereupon the crowd departed. When they reached the lower part of Main street they found what the noise was about. ' It was Mr. Nat Felder's gasoline engine. This engine is somewhat like public opinion, some times it goes right and sometimes it does not. It's owner was trying to fire her up to grind some corn, but she didn't like the idea of starting. When the engine fired, it went off like a cannon. Finding the joke on them, most of the crowd good naturedly returned to the court house to hear Mr. Byrnes finish his speech. iHMHn I s?
