Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, Jan. 4. The annual
Christmas ball, given last Wednes-
day evening by the Ehrhardt Social
club in Copeland's hall, was a grand
success. The ball room was scene
of beauty when all the dancers were
! in full swing. The music (Bearden's S
orchestra of Augusta), was superb
for the occasion and all thosee who
participated in the dances regretted
very much when the band struck up
ssFIome, Sweet Home even If 1T
was after the clock had begun to
show that the hours were wee-wee.
The fair damsels we're an clad in
their special ball attire and never
did they look any prettier than on
this occasion. AH left for their
homes wishing that the time be very
short before another such social de-
light would come again.

Now is the time for all good men
20 come to the aid OF the law if we
are to have prohibition, and unless
this is done all efforts made last year
are in vain. y
Someone is going to be- kept very
bnsy If the whiskey traffic is COM
pfstely shut out. The express Office
will be to watch. Look out for the
suitcase, hand bag, trunk and miss
branded package. If all this is stop,
ped, our branches, bays and swamps
will be in danger, as most anyone can
distin good booze with an old wash
pot and some iron piping.
The old year is gone and now let
each and every one resolve for this
new year that no whiskey or any of
It's products shall in any shape or
form be tolerated. When anyone is
seen drunk or known to be drinking
let some authority get him and if
necessary jail.thim until he will tell
and show from whom he secured the
drink. It is going to be hard and
long fight, but we do sincerely hope
that prohibition will conquer.

chief of Police for the. past ten years
