EHRHARDT, April 1S.-There seems to
be no end of the winter season this spring.
Crops in general, and especially the gar.
dens, are very backward on account OF
the cold. The farmers are still pushing
forward though, while visions of Is cents
cotton urge them on to do their best.
The merchants here have done nice
business so far, but if crops fail, as has
been predicted by some of the old folks,
there will be less cash to handle this COM
ing fall than they now expect to place in
their Golfers.
Hon. s. G.. Mayfeld passed through
town last Friday afternoon en- route to
Hampton to attend the campaign meeting
at that place last Saturday. His friends
were glad to see him again and toreceive
his hearty handshake.
Now that the political machine is again
in motion, candidates had best beware
lest they be caught beneath the ponderous
wheels Of corruption and ground to atoms,
dying hard political death, never to rise
in politics again. Such is the fate of all
except the lucky one, and alas! he, in
many cases, only rises in one election to
90 down in defeat and disgrace in the
next. Well, such is life. Oh! why does
your conscience worry you, Mr.. candi-
date? It is because you have done your
duty, isn't it? Nit!
Every one here is looking forward to
the Lutheran conference, which body
meets in the new Lutheran church here
next Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There
will be preaching on Thursday night be-
fore at o'clock, to which all are cordially
invited to attend. An interesting pro-
gram has been arranged, and no doubt
the work will be interesting to outsiders
as well as those who belong to the organ.

|';, Mrs. G.. L. Kinard happened to very
painful accident last week. In stepping
on box it turned, and in falling her foot
was caught under her, breaking both
bones just above the ankle. DR.. Roberts
was out of town at the time. and did not
return for several hours. A runner was
sent for DR.. Loadholt, of Jenny, and on

we'll as could be expected. She has our
sincere sympathy in her severe trouble.
