by giving them toys, apples, oranges,
and candy.
Now another year has come and
we should all feel thankful that we
are spared to see another New Years
day come and go. And we all hope
our resolves will hold out through
1911.
Santa says that he will now have
a rest from his chimney postoffice, as
his eyes are tired reading the little
ones letters that were sent to him
stating what little gifts they wanted.
The widower who had some busi-
ness in our town not long since has
left some of the ladies wondering
where he has gone to. A quiet after
a storm. 1t seems as if his Huyler's
and Lowney's chocolate candies play
ed a prominent part for him down
here. A little different to his can
vassing coffeemill. However, will
wait to see the final results.
One of our young ladies down here
had a peck of sweet hearts Xmas.
Think she should have divided up
with her less favored neighbors.
All of the teachers of our graded
school went home to spend their
Xmas holidays with their parents.
Miss Jenny Milling returned Sun
dey; Prof. Shealy is expected soon,
so is Miss Rosa Hutto. We all miss
them on the streets.
Mr.. Chas. Ehrhardt has his auto
in shape again. Phone posts are not
good brakes to stop autos. The stop
is too abrupt.
Every one in this section should
feel nice, if what some Of our town
folks say is true. Says one-half pint
will make him richer than Wander
bilt. Every day the express car was
full to it's capacity with packe ges
from Jacksonville, Fla. Glad to say
it did not get up a fight in this Sec
ton. It must have been peaceable
whiskey; none Of the fighting kind.
Everybody is on the hunt for bet
ter places among the renters and con-
tractors of land, as every day one
can see loads of household goods 60
ing through town.
Mrs. Archie Zeigler was taken to
Charleston more than a week ago to
be operated on for appendicitis. She
is getting on nicely since operated
upon and will soon be home again.
Messrs. Herbert and Bennie Ehr-
hardt, Maurice Clayton, Harry Cope
land, John G. Copeland, and o. Perry
Folk, who came home from Newber-
ry College to spend their holidays,
will return 20 their work to-day.
Miss Pearl Copeland spent her va
cation with her parents. She is with
the National Biscuit company in Co.
lumbia. Hope the rest will do her
good, as she looks thin.
Our Sunday mail is a humbug. No
clerk on the train and not half of the
daily papers come in that should and
no mail sent out whatever. II our
postmaster has to be in the office to
receive mail it would not take much
more time to send out mail. Why
don't some one get a petition up to
have it come and go on Sundays, if
they must have papers?
The Bell Telephone people are
transferring their phone at this place
from H. C. Copeland and Co.'s store
to Ehrhardt Grocery, so we can get
the use of same.
Rev. J. Earle Freeman has left us
after short time in our midst. Can't
says whether the Baptists have Sc
cured onther man or not.
Don't forget that the postmaster
at Ehrhardt will receive subscrip-
tions for the renewal of The Herald
or take new ones. Subscribe and get

ton from Florida wanting work to
earn little money to get back to his
Job in the land of flowers. When ask
ed what he was doing in Florida, said
that he had charge of rich Yankees

he wasn't afraid he would lose his
lob, said no; that all the others could
not get along with the work as he
had. He said: "Boss, you know out
there the sun shine hot and it is a
mighty hard place to get along we'll

lob all the hens would lay hard boil
