NEWS FROM EHRHARDT.
\ Budget of Interesting Items From
Growing Town.

scheduled to reach and drench the
middle South Atlantic States by last
Wednesday slipped cog en- route and
was delayed in it's progress till Satur-
day-hereabouts at least. But upon
arrival the rain fell with something
of a vengeance all day. The old In
dian sign came literally true for
once-it rained all round and poured
down in the middle. The weather
has cleared again, however, and the
rain seems almost forgotten in the
enjoyment of the people here in the
prevailing cool wave now sweeping
over the country.
Ehrhardt is building some, if the
buildings in course of erection and
those completed may be taken as evil
dence of the towns progress. Con-
tractor Ivey J. Zeigler's latest and
most conspicuous achievement is the
building now in progress, on lower
Main street, of an eleven room two
story dwelling house for DR.. J. H.
Roberts. The house is of modern ar
chitecture and will cost way up in
four figures when completed. The de-
sign will eclipse anything in the line
of buildings in this town and the idea
of the building is a credit to both
the taste and progress of DR.. Roberts,
and the work is a neat and creditable
reflection on the contractor as we'll.
Mrs. Maggie Simmons is having a
comfortable cottage put up on Main
street. When finished the buildings
and grounds will have many attrac-
tions beautifying that part of the
town.
Mrs. Simmons, daughter of Mr.. j.
C. Copeland, of this county, after her
marriage moved to the land of flow
ers, where in the course of events.
Simmons unfortunately died, when
the widow, like Naomi, turned her
face to the land of her birth to cast
her lot with her own people.
Mr.. S. w. Copeland has added two
| much needed rooms to his dwelling,
which adds considerable to the COM
forts and appearance Of the house
and grounds.
The two two-story brick stores of
Mr.. Frank H. Copeland, the one COM
pleted and occupied by Mr.. Karesh
and the other completed all to the
finishing touches and to be occupied
by Mr.. S. w. Copeland, is credit to
Mr.. Copeland's progressiveness and a
decided honor to the town.
President H. A. Hughes, of the
Farmers Mercantile Co., has cleared
the rubbish from a desirable lot on
Jackson street and will begin building
| a dwelling house at once.
The Baptist church, it is believed.
will be completed some time this fall
or winter, to the honor and glory OF
the faithful little band of struggling
church members 50 earnestly en-
deavoring to complete house OF wor-
| ship of their own. If only the read
ing public knew of the struggle these
good people are having to finish this
building, so earnestly and literally
begun, but if some good angel would
move the hearts of generous people
to aid them in building church such
as Christ referred to when the apostle
Peter acknowledged Him as, the
Christ, the Son of God, when the
Master cried "Theu art Peter, Upon
this rock will I build my church and
the gates of hell shall not prevail
against 1.-THE Church of Truth.
There has been and there is still
much sickness for many miles around
Ehrhardt; Drs. Roberts and Copeland
are kept one on the run and the 9TH
er on the fly day and night in attend
ance upon their patients. 1t would
seem that men would be required to
possess wills of iron and nerves OF
steel to accomplish what they do. 1t
is pleasant, however, to note that the
health of the community generally is
little on the mend at the approach
of jack frost, at whose coming it is
confidently expected giant malaria
will be knocked out on the hrst
round. Hurry jack, please come on,
won't you?
Miss Bessie Priester, of Allendale,
who came home last Sunday with her
mother, Mrs. w. H. Priester, to Wis
it her aunt, Mrs. J. w. Priester, was
taken very i'll with hemorrhagic fever
on Wednesday and was sick to the
degree that her life was despaired OF
for two days. DR.. Roberts, the at.
tending physician, did not leave the
sick bed for two nights in succession
and at last she is convalescent. She
