Ehrhardt, Nov. 14.-What ideal
weather prevailed last week! Fine
for "tater digging" ."possum hunt
ing" and fair going;;" too warm for
'cane grinding A lot of us went
down to the fair at Walterporo last
week, some spent the week with
friends, taking in the fair every day,
others only visited it for one day;
all report good time, especially
those who took the trip called "over
and under the sea- supposedly in a
submarine boat. The voyage was a
rough one and it was difficult in keep
your hair off it's end, but you came
out unhurt and with a broad grin.
Mr.. J. w. Goodson, of route No. 1,
is having a handsome dwelling erect
ed in the northern part of town, it is
now under construction and will
soon have the finishing touches put
on. Mr.. and Mrs Goodson will move
in as soon as it is completed. ~
The town is having the streets in
the north and western portion clayed.
This adds much to the looks of the
town and the convenience of the pub
lie. 1t is work that has been needed
for long time 1t affords good in
vitation to the auto owner for break
ing the speed limit.
The public at large wishes to
thank the county for it's recent work
on the roads in this vicinity of the
county made by the chain gang. They
'-are in fine condition and it is pleas
ure to go out now on a Joy ride or
to do any hauling over them. You
are highly complimented by many as
an expert road builder. v
Last Wednesday morning while
several Of their "dears" were at, or
preparing to visit the fair, Rev. ].
r. Smith, Messrs. J. C. Kinard, ]. F.
Chassereau, and F. H. Copeland arm
ed with guns, plenty of buck shot
cartridges and two of Mr.. G. B.
Kearse's best hound dogs, boarded
Rev. Smiths car and proceeded to
the hunting grounds near Jackson
boro, on a 'tdeer" hunt. They ar
rived in due time and soon some were
on their stands while others went on
the drive. They found plenty of
deer" jumping four with only one
going close enough to the stands to
be shot. This was seven-prong
buck; he was shot by both Messrs.
Copeland and Chassereau, and fell
on the spot. They both being old
hunters and having each killed "a
deer" before, there was no initiating
to be DONE Messrs. Copeland and
Chassereau own a large interest in
this deer reserve and they were high
ly pleased to find it abundantly sup
piled with game. During the excite
ment and hurry to get home one of
the dogs was left, a white and black
spotted hound. Any one of the party
will pay a nice reward for the dogs
recovery. They arrived home about
eight O'Clock p. M, same day, and
surprised their ''dears' (who were
just returning from the fair) by
having baged deer"
What is it that has caused the
wedding bells to be silent so long?
Plenty of young folks on hand, walk
ing around, talking, about what?
Why don't you get together, agree,
and launch your canoe? The sailing
may be on smooth waters the entire
voyage. This is leap year and the
proposition is resting with the fair
sex. Some say my heart is in the
army at the border This may be
true, but there are plenty left at
home. Come, don't let the old bell
rust away. We want ''cake.'
