EHRHARDT, February GIVE have
had some cold weather ever since last
Friday afternoon. 1t commenced sleet-
ing then and all Saturday continued to
sleet and rain by turns, all freezing.
Everyone that walked out, walked care
fully, and then some of them fell without
stumbling. They did not mind the falling
as bad as others laughing at them when
they would fall.
A young man in town had queer ex-
perience the other night. Called on his
best girl, and she gave him "old harry"
before he left. Upon inquiring why she
was so vexed, she told him he had not
brought any candy along to sweeten his
countenance with.
Mr.. Edgar Jones has returned to Lodge,
from the up country, where he has been
at work in depot, to prepare his land
for planting Irish potatoes for the market.
He SAYS it is too cold for him up in
Laurens, but says there is not much
difference down here.
The dispensary must have done good
business Saturday, judging from the
drunk men on our streets. If some of
them would use half of the energy to get
money to pay accounts for supplies for
their families that they use in getting
money to buy whiskey with, our mer-
chants would all be in better shape and
happy.
All of the contractors want money on
their liens this year. They say they
must have some to run their business.
The merchants are not in shape to give
them much money on their liens, especi-
ally as they want it. Money is the first
thing they want, the next is bottle of
"fussy <" then they are happy and ready
to make things disagreeable when they
reach home. a
The hunters had better be careful how
they shoot birds, especially around the
public roads, or they will hit drummer.
Don't think ever saw so many in so
short time; some days more than 8
dozen come to our town trying to sell
their goods. AS general thing our mer-
chants are buying very small bills, and
money will be very tight with them if
they can't get eight cents or more for
their holdings of cotton.
Mr.. .J.C. Westerlund was eating beef
soup for dinner Sunday and swallowed a
piece of bone. It panied him so that he
sent for Drs. Roberts and Copeland, but
they could not get the bone. Hope it
will not prove serious with him.
Rural Route No. 2 leaves Ehrhardt
office now in the afternoon in place of
morning, since the first Of February.
This gives parties their daily papers so
they can read them at night, and is much
more satisfactory to all on the route.
Route No. will we hope be enlarged
so as to take in the Mcmillan section.
They are preparing request to be added
to the route.
G. Ehrhardt has erected two new ten
ant houses, and will soon commence a
third.
Mr.. J. 81. Fender was in town one day
last week on business. Heis wide awake
for his farming interests this year.
Mr.. w. II. Kinard went to Charleston
last week to consult the advice of ply
clan; returned Saturday.
Mrs. Rachel Fender, wife of Mr.. g..
Calvin Fender, was buried at Mt. Pleas
ant grave yard on last Friday. She had
not been ill very long. She was a good
wife, loving mother, and kind neigh
bor, and will be greatly missed in our
neighborhood. JEE.
