Ehrhardt EtchingS.

EHRHARDT, May 24.-Oi the many Wis
itors to Charleston last week not one says
he did not have good time. They also
say that there was the largest crowd In
Charleston that they have ever seen there,
and that is saying great deal, as some
of those who attended the reunion are
old men and have been going to Charles,
ton for quite number Of years. The Ola
veterans are dwindling away very rapidly
and it is only q matter of time before the
honored heroes of the Civil war Will all
have passed away. -,
On last Sunday an election was held
at Mt. Pleasant church for a superlntend-
ent of the Sunday-school, former Super
intendent King havingsresigned, and re-
suited as follows: Superintendent, w. +.
Sease: assistant superintendent, b. b.
Bishop. The Sunday-school is to be
congratulated in securing the services OF
these two good men. After the election
Capt. Sease made feeling address to the
Sunday-school, thanking them for the
honor conferred upon him as their super
intendent. The time for the Lutheran
Sunday-school at Ehrhardt has been
changed to an earlier hour, in order that
those who attend the Methodist Sunday
school may do so later in the afternoon.
This will also give the Methodlsts a
chance to attend the Lutheran school
before going to their own.
MI. F..E. Copeland and son, Sam. W.,
attended the funeral of Mrs. W. H. Eaves
at Williston last Monday afternoon, re-
turning home Tuesday morning. Mrs.
Eaves was a sister-in-law of Mrs. F. =.
Copeland, Mrs. J. r. Carter and Mrs. u.
c. Copeland of this place.
The warm weather that we have been
having on the crops for the last few days
have made decided improvement in the
looks of them, and those who were losin
heart at the poor prospect have ouckled
down to it again in earnest with more
hope in their hearts.
An amusing story is being circulated
about an old negro near Lodge. 1t seems
that he had the misfortune to lose his
mule, and as he was not able to pay any
one to haul it away from his home, he
undertook to dispose of it himself. First
he took a sharp knife and dissected it and
then carried it away piece by piece until
he had it removed from his lot.
Colleton county seems to be scarce OF
candidates this year. Up to now there
are about thirty running for the various
Offices.
We are sorry to hear of the death OF
Mr.. A.. j. W. Cone. Mr.. Cone was good
man and his community will suffer BY
his death. We sympathize with his fam
ily in their affection.
