EHRHARDT ETCHINGS.
An Interesting Budget "f News, En-
tertainingly Told.

EHRHARDT, July 2O.--All of those folks
who have been working at the Yankee
saw mill near Greenpond have returned
home for the summer. They say that
fever is an every day disease, besides the
low, fat, marshy country is otherwise un-
healthy.
We are glad to hear of Mr.. 4. c: Rey-
nolds again. He is located in Baltimore,
so we are informed, clerking ID a drug
store at good salary.
Messrs. c. Ehrhardt & Sons have Just
comDleted the cover to their water tank
located in their mill yard as fire pro-
lection.
Mr.. !. D. Dannelly has purchased a
new wheel of the Orient type for the pur-
pose of riding home for his meals these
hot days. Walking is much too slow for
a hungry man.
One can scarcely pick up paper now
without reading of some great game of
ball and how the pitchers struck out the
best players on both sides and at the end
of the game the score would be about l to
0. This isn't thing to the game played
here July 4th by the colored teams. At
O'Clock p. m. the umpire shouted "play
balP and each man got in position. After
five hours of shouting, kicking, wrang-
ling, running, batting, talking, etc, but
mostly running, the game WAS called at
the end of the seventh inning on account
! of darkness. The scores counted and re.
corded as follows: 1875 to SO, one team
winning by SO scores You are asked to
correspond with Mr.. G. B. Kearse if you
doubt this statement of the game.
| Mr.. G. w. Jenny was in town last Fri
day.
Messrs. Arthur Kearse and Tom Beard
were in town last Thursday afternoon.
Protracted meetings are in order now
| Our town council seems to be in muddle
over some of their business affairs. From
what we can learn if one man is going t.
| run the councils business, the other fOul
might as we'll resign, for the good they
| are doing. That is, of course, if they
allow it to continue.
We were glad to see DR.. G. E. kinsey
of Bamberg. on our streets last Friday.
| Il wish this was election year" is q
common expression down here now, and
when the speaker is asked for an explain
alton the answer is always the same
why then the roads would be worked uI
in this section. You know that almost
all the work we get from the chain gang
is on election years" Why so much dis
content? If the Supervisor is to blame
tell him so at the ballot box and moi
grumble so much. If the Supervisor ISM,
at fault, the grumblers should cease theil
supposed grievances and let suffering
public rest.
Quite a crowd went from here tc
Walterboro Monday to the farmers con
| venvention. The A. c. L. had specia
train on for the occasion.
There is good deal of sickness here il
this community of late. 1t must be tht
hot weather, together with bad water thai
causes so much fever.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. D. Jones are the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. 8. W. Copeland for a few
days.
The soda fountains in town are doing
fine business these hot days, serving
cold drinks to warm public.
| What of the Lutheran church that wa:
to have been built here last spring? W.
thought snails were the only slow thing:
on the earth, but it seems as if we are
mistaken.
Thursdays game of ball is expected tc
to be good one, also the Knights and
Masons are doing their best to have :
good picnic on that day. ANXIOUS.
