Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, Dec. 5.-We had quite
a wet, sloppy day for Thanksgiving,
as it rained all day until about four
o'clock when the sun came out. Those
who had expected to enjoy the holi-
day shooting birds got a good dis
appointment. Everything passed off
quietly, most all of the stores were
closed, postoffice was open most of
the time, the banks were at rest, and
services were held at the Lutheran
church in the afternoon by the pas
tor, Rev. E. F. K. Roof.
Last Wednesday night Mr.. E. P.
Copeland obeyed a psychic impulse
and went down to his store about one
o'clock. When he opened the door
he was surprised to find it possessed
by burglar. The thief ran out a
side window, where he made the en-
trance, and as he had one of the
lights burning Mr. Copeland saw him
before he could make his getaway.
Some time during the evening before
the store closed, he slipped the key
out of the bolt that bars the window
and had no trouble in getting in. He
seemed not to want more than
enough to enjoy, but just one day
| CThanksgiving). He had fixed up
and had on the counter near the win
dow about packs of cigarettes, one
dozen cigars, one pound of candy,
one pound of cheese, four pounds of
sausage. But the poor fellow had to
leave it and not offer any thanks for
his bountiful Qost) Thanksgiving
dinner. Mr.. Copeland will not tell
the mans name, but says he is a
white married man and resides in
town.
Messrs. John Hartz and A. B. Cog
gins made a business trip to Macon,
| Ca, last week on machinery in
spection for the Ehrhardt Barrel and
Keg Heading Co.
Capt. and Mrs. J. NJ. Dannelly left
last Thursday for Florence, to at
tend conference and visit friends.
Last week one day young man
walked into town and got Postmaster
j. B. Ehrhardt to stamp place in
his book with the postoffice seal. He
gave his name as Garrett, of New
York. He is on walking tour from
New York to Macon, Ca, for a New
York athletic club, on a $4,000
wager. He has % days more to get
to Macon, so he said. His contract
is to leave New York with one dol
lar and walk to Macon in ii months
and have $1,000 when he gets there;
must not ride, beg or steal.
Mr.. Charles Hartz and little grand
daughter, Gladys, spent last week
in the ''city by the Sea- with rela-
tives.
Mr.. Caleb Carter, of Lodge, R. F.
D., was bitten by a mad dog last
week. Mr.. Carter left at once for

pasteur treatment.
The B., E. & WIS new train ar
rived last Friday morning on her
first trip and has been making good
ever since. The schedule is about
the same as when the A. G. L. was
operating it.
Miss Genie Ramsey entertained a
number of her young friends last Fri
day evening at her beautiful home on
Madison street. Progressive rook,
and a few selections, both vocal and
instrumental, rendered by Misses
Moore and Ramsey, gave all good
time, and the evening was pleasant
ly spent. Toothsome chocolate can
dy was served.
