EuRuARpT, June 22.-Mr. D. NJ. Cros
by, from near Rutfin, Colleton county,
was in town last Wednesday and Thurs
lay. He went to Bamberg Wednesday
afternoon with Capt. J. NJ. Dannelly on
business.
DR.. ]. L. Copeland and Messrs. +. r
ChaSsereau and l. D. Copeland Went L"
Bamberg to see the game OF pa-l iast
Wednesday afternoon. They report a
splendid game won by Bamberg;
Messrs. I. D. Copeland and w. B. Moore
went to Savannah last Thursday, return
ing Thursday night.
Mr.. E. P. Chassereau went to the Goose
Pond picnic last Thursday.
Mr.. Archie Zeigler is at home from
Macon, Ga.
HowelPs Old Mill has been a favorite
resort for the pleasure seekers last week,
small parties going almost every DAY, 10
try their luck catching, frying ana tnen
eating the delicious fish. An amusing
incident occurred there last Tuesday at
fish fry. Several of the gentlemen IN the
party used rifles for shooting the flsh on
the edge of the pond, and Mr.. S. W. Cope
land was walking slowly along the oank
ON the alert for shot when he spled a
nice fish near the top Of the water Cool
as a cucumber and as deliberately as be
could be under the circumstances he
raised his rifle. Already visions OF nice
dinner were before his eyes, the sweet
Juicy morsel was almost in his mouth, SO
to speak, and with these things in view
all else forgotten, he drew bead on that
fish and gently pressed the trigger of his
rife, but suddenly stentor!an voice from
Just across the stream says, Don't you
Shoot my string of fish," He looked uE
land his hopes fell quicker than his gun
to behold the smiling, genial face OF tht
Rev. E. NJ McKissick. Explanations
followed and Mr.. Copeland found ou
that he had almost shot a fish on Kew
McKissick's string, and that he Wa
almost standing on the string. How h'
could see the fish and not the string is I
mystery, but then he wasn't looking TO
strings, and perhaps is excusable.
There are to be more picnics on tn
4th of July this year than has ever beel
known before. Some of them perhap
will not be so largely attended:
The town marshal, Mr.. j. W. Priestel
has done some very much-needed wor
on Main street.
! Ehrhardt, it is said, is noted for pet
tions, but think it time to go out of bus
ness now, since a petition was circulate
last week petitioning the council to ailo'
a place of business to be kept open o
Sunday. 1t is to be hoped that the counc
will not allow it. In fact, they can
unless they first repeal the ordinanc
against keeping places of business open
Sunday, and then as the members of tn
council are all Christian gentlemen the
will surely not stand quietly by and fol
pet their oath of Office and VOWS to the
respective churches.
The annual picnic and fish fry hel
. at Mr.. J. R. Carter's place came off la
Saturday. Owing to the recent heaV
rains the fish were not in abundance
usual but there were other good things
, eat. The tables fairly groaned beneat
their load of good things, and after ever
one had finished as many more coul
. have been fed. Mr.. Carter is successf'
farmer, and with his good wife and charm
! ing children, entertain their guests o
these occasions with an ease and grat
, found in a very few. There was to hav
been a game of baseball between Hartzo
and Oak Grove in the afternoon, but
didn't come off for what reason We al
unable to learn.
Mr.. A. W. Brabham, of the Kearse SCI
ton, was here last Saturday and said ths
the hail Friday night did considerab
damage in his neighborhood. In som
places nearly all the leaves were beate
off the cotton.
i Messrs. L. A. Brabham and w. ,
Kearse came up from the yankee sa
mill near Green Pond last Saturday, an
said that the hail there on Thursday wa
simply awful, three pieces filling pin
cup.

with him.
