EHRHARDT, May 2S.-Oh! such fine
showers as We are having on the crops
now is enough to make everybody wish
they were farmers.
Mr.. n. c. Copeland has the best cotton
that has been reported so far, so "Uncle
John" says, he (Uncle john having seen
forms or squares some ten days ago.
Why don't some of our progressive
farmers plant vegetables for the North
ern markets? Our neighbors ip Barnwell
county are making nice clear money each
year on garden truck. The writer saw
some fields of beans near Williston and
Elko last week that were netting the
planters 800 per acre clear profit.
The oat crop in this section is fine this
year, though not quite as good as we have
made, caused by dry weather setting in
just about the time the oats commenced
to head. The spring oats are not as good
as those sown in the fall. Mr.. G.. B.
Clayton had nine acres that were very
fine, it taking IS to 40 pounds of twine to
tie them when cut by reaper and binder.
Messrs. J. A. Chassereau, j. G. Kinard,
/. W. Carter and G.. L. Kinard spent two
days in big saltkehatchie about Wood.

fine lot Of nice fish.
The revival meeting here in the Meth.
odist church is being carried on with
much success by the Rev. Harley, of Barn
we'll. Mr.. Harley is man of unusual
ability, and has way Of his own of reach.
ing the hearts of his hearers.
MI. j. D. Jenny and wife were in town
last Friday.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Key and wife were here
Sunday attending the Methodist meeting.
Mrs. - Gowan and son, fthe Cross
Swamp section, were also attending the
meeting Sunday.
The revival will probably continue
throughout this week.
Misses Pearl and Eta Copeland and
Miss Virgie Ehrhardt have returned from
college to spend their vacation at home.
Some of our boys faces have been
wreathed in pleasant smiles since last
Thursday, but did say that the young
ladies came home on that day?
We were glad to see DR.. 81. N. Brab.
ham, of Olar, in town last week.
There is some talk Of taking the Luth-
eran Sunday-school to the Isle of Palms
one day in the near future and. as it
would be a nice trip for the children, we
hope that it will materialize and give
them day of pleasure by the seashore.
If arrangements are completed and good
rates secured, the Sunday-schools of Mt.
Pleasant and the Methodist church here
will be invited, together with general
invitation to the public at large, so as to
have as many as possible 60.
It is very sad indeed that We learn Of
the death of Mrs. NJ. O.. Kinard, Of the
Folks Store section. She had been sick
for some time, and being quite an old
lady her death was not altogether unex-
pected. She leaves a devoted husband
and several children by her first husband,
she having been married twice. She was
consistent member of Mt. Pleasant
Lutheran church, and was inferred in
the cemetery at that place last Thursday
morning, her pastor, Rev. P. E. Monroe,
officiating. The family have our deepest
sympathy.
A scrub game of base ball was played
on the local diamond between Kearse and
Ehrhardt last Saturday, and resulted as
follows: Many sore limbs, bruises, scratch
es, and everybody scrubbed" who took
part in the game. The game is of with
our boys this year, we having so few
players as not to be able to make show
ing.
