Ehrhardt Etchings.

EuRHARDT, June 1--we have had th'
heaviest rains of the season during tn
past week, and farm work is very mucl
hindered.
Mr. D. Quattlebaum, a popular knigE
of the grip, was in town Monday last
selling buggies for the Atlanta Buggy Co
Mr.. Jacob Ehrhardt is the only man ii
this section that makes a good crop with
cut much work. He has very fine fielC
of corn that has only been ploughed once
and it hasn't any grass in it either.
Several of the folks in town attended
the picnic at St. Nicholas last Thursday.
The amateurs (6shermen) were seen
digging bait before breakfast one morn
ing last week to torment the finny tribe
with at Howelps old mill. Their catch
with what they bought made them fine
dinner.
A small purse was made up here fol
the flood sufferers in Spartanburg county
but was not forwarded on account of the
citizens learning through the papers that
enough had been received already to sup,
ply all needs.
1t is reported from a reliable source
that the citizens here will send q repre-
sentative to Columbia in July to meet the
State board to look into the matter of re.
moving the dispensary from this place,
All of the freeholders in town signed the
petition except four, and according to law
two-thirds of the freeholders can have it
removed by proving that it is an injury
to the towns interest. In the letter to
one of the petitioners here, written by a
member of the State board of control,
they stated that a petition for the dis
pensary had been presented to the county
board also, but the people here are at a
loss to know where the petition came
from unless it was signed by non-free-
holders in town and residents in the
country. Anyway, we are expecting some
light on the subject after the State board
meets in July.
What is the matter with our new coun-
Gil? No move as yet to have the side
walks cleaned off, although they have
been in Office two weeks. Perhaps they
will do something later.
1t is said that Oak Grove baseball team
has the largest player in the State, if not
in the world. Said player is over six feet
in his stockings and weighs good deal
over 800 pounds. If any should ask his
name, just tell them to ask Mr.. G. W.
Hughes.
Mrs. J. J. Zeigler is reported very sick;
at this writing her recovery seems very
doubtful. The sympathy of the com
munity is with the members Of the family.
Mr.. L. L. Wilson, until recently of this
place, is in Birmingham, Ala. Whether
permanently or not we are unable at pres
ent to learn.
Mr.. Joe Weimer has returned to Florida.
Mr.. T. D. Jones has returned to Bish-
opyille. He was accompanied by his Wife's
sister, Mrs. G. L. Kinard.
The entertainment of the school here
was called off on account of the deaths
last week. The picnic was postponed also.
Mr.. n. W. Chitty, of the Kearse section,
was in town last Saturday.
Messrs. J. NJ. Dannelly & Son are NOV
ing their large saw mill from near Capt.
W. E. Sease's to Robertsville. They expect
to add ginnery this fall for the purpose
of ginning cotton and buying cotton seed.
Mr.. T. w. Dannelly is at home from
Greenpond, s. C. He is looking for hands
for the Yankee saw mill located at that
place. A good many are thinking of go
ing back with him, as the wages offered
are much better than is paid here. A good
many carpenters have already gone.
Grass seems to be the general topic for
discussion among the farmers and mer-
chants nowadays.
Baseball, fish fries, and picnics are all
the go here except on Sundays.
The Rev. s. P. Chisolm preached very
sermon in the Methodist
church last Sunday night. Rev. E. NJ.
NICK Kissick will as usual fill the pulpit next
Sunday night. Let every one attend.
