SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around the
County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, Dec. 13.-Rev. J. P.
Harms, president of Newberry col
lege, gave US an interesting sermon
on Sunday afternoon at Ehrhardt
Lutheran church, on the subject Of
man. In his deliberate style Of ora
tory he held his audience spell bound
during his talk. Many Of us that
listened to his thoughts have some
thing more to think about from now
on. He failed, as other writer's have
done, to tell us what man was. We
think that any definition that anyone
could give to the question, what is
man? would be unsatisfactory after
the defner had gotten through ans
ering the question.
Cotton seems to be hard to get the
last of this year. Conrad Ehrhardt
Co. were quite busy all Friday with
their gins and several bales were left
over for Saturday. Farmers call it
Christmas cotton.
Some Of our hunters went on a
hunt with others from WATERFORD
last week. At first they prepared to
have venison cooked in all kinds Of
ways known only by the best cooks.
They we're faithful hunters for the
first day, but no deer was shot down
by any of their party. Second day
with like results. Party was prepar-
ing to leave for home when luck
changed. A fine deer was unfortu-
nate in crossing wire fence, got its
head fastened and was held firm
until one of the hunters could cut
it's throat This caused them to re-
turn to camp and enjoy the feast.
One of them says he should have
killed two at one shot as three
came near to him and he shot them
with deliberate aim but did not get
either one Of the three.
Have heard Of men going bird
hunting and taking booze with them
when the bird would fly up saw
two and did not know which one to
shoot at. But never heard of this
happening to deer hunters, especially
when prohibition was in force. How
is it Capt. Blanchard? Can you ex-
plain the situation?
A much needed rain fell on Sun
day night. Weather is warm for
killing hogs, however, and the ladies
always like to have spare ribs sau-
sage, and backbone for the Christ
mas holidays. The children expect
some Of these good things when they
come home from school.

JOTTINGS FROM JENNYS.
A Newsy Letter from a Most Hospit-
able Community.

Jennys, Dec. 13.-We are just be-
ginning to learn why Jenny's has so
many corpulent men, and so many
thin ladies. Now listen! On Satur-
day, December 4th, the men had a
big dinner at the Masonic lodge.
Turkeys, two Of them; ham, chickens,
spare-ribs, sausage, back-bones and
rice, light-bread, macaroni-pie, cakes
and pies of many kinds. Plenty OF
fine, hot coffee, too, to keep their
spirits up, for the day was cool and
the dispensary dry. No ladies'!
Then on Thursday night last the
knights had an oyster feast. All the
good things Of the previous dinner
were repeated except the turkeys,
Chose left now are for Christmas
the oysters taking the place Of the
turkeys. This time few ladies were
invited. You know oysters are not
nice except when when very hot,
neither is the coffee, and men do not
like to cook: Hence the ladies' in
vitation.

Miss Josephine Copeland was in
our midst Sunday afternoon, and
gave us fine lecture, at st. Nicholas,
on our Orphan home. We enjoyed
this lecture for two reasons: Miss
Copeland is the only Deaconess the
Lutheran Synod has in the South,
and she is one of own girls. She has
been matron of the Lutheran orphan
home at Salem, Va, for the past
year, 80 she is quite familiar with
her subject, which she delivered in
a most graceful manner.

Little Vera Lyons, who has Been i'll
for several weeks with a severe bill
ious attack, is better of the fever but
is a great little sufferer still. She is
now suffering from a bad rising in
her head. The pain is severe at
times, mostly in the evening and at
night. During her illness she was
shown much tender sympathy by her
neighbors who flocked to her home
and covered her with pretty little
tricks to please her child-nature, and
good things to eat to tempt her ap-
petite. Truly these are good people.

Dyspepsia Causes COnsumntion

The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show thai
some cases OF consumption are due =,
unchecked dyspepsia. especially when
the victim was predisposed to tuber-
culOsis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain. the weakened. irritable stom.
ach is unable to digest food, the body
does not receive the required nour-
ishment, constipation ensues and the
victim becomes thin. weak and hag-
gard. AS n result the body becomes
a fertile field for the germs of d.
sease to lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty OF contributing toward the de-
velopment Of one Of the most insidi.
GUS and fatal diseases known to man
kind.
Dyspepsia is durable IL properly
treated. The B. NJ. Hyde Drug Co.
sell remedy which they positively
guarantee will cure indigestion o.
dyspepsia or they will pay for all The
medicine used during the trial. This
remedy IL an absolutely new medical
discovery and has been named Rev-
all Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no
offer could be more fair. and the o.

ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN
No Doubt In the Baggageman's Mind
as to Contents of What Looked
Like Coffin.

In an emergency the manufacturer
of Limburger cheese was forced to
use strategy with a shipment. Ordi-
narily his product went in special
cars, but In this instance no car was
available and the order must be filled.
Two hundred pounds Of the fragrant
comestible was put in a rough, OBJ
long box, and taken to the railroad
baggageroom. Then the manufacture
er bought a ticket for himself and the
box, and entered the train. At the
6rst stop he went ahead to the bag
gage car to see that there was no
trouble. He stood by the box in a
di~sconsolate attitude and shaded his
eyes with his hand. The baggageman
was sympathetic. "A relative?" he
asked. "Yes," answered the manu-
hcturer, sit is my brother" "Well,"
said the railroad man, philosophically,
you have one consolation. He's dead,
all right."-San Francisco Argonaut.
