pretty well all day. The rain |
prevented many hunting parties from |
t going out.
Mr. A. J. Huntef presented The

Elirliardt, Nov.. 26.?Wanted?Mr.
A. W. Brabham, of Olar, S. C., to
move to Ehrhardt to be here, to see,
I feel and write up the happenings
ieach week and give us a creditable
I show in our worthy pape"ri\The Bamberg
Herald. Everybody here that
can write says, "I haven't got time,"
and those that have time are no
good. We expect Mr. Brabham too
to be a busy man but as he has passed
"the sleepy" stage in life, may be
j he could do this writing to while
| away the time these long nights,
until time to hit the "Hay." We
want and need some one to write and
that can represent the city, and if
Mr. Brabham can't come who is going
to do it?
The .weather man got busy last
week and broke the "dry spell' all
to pieces. Friday night, Saturday
night and Sunday morning; a good
rain fell. It rained slowly 'but was
real rain and seemed to wet things
especially the dust on Main street,
which was rolling in clouds.
At last the "Flu" is entirely gone,
not a case to be heard of. In its
wake it certainly left a deep and sad
wound, one that will take years to
heal and then in some places there
*vill be a large scar. All the churches
are now holding their regular meet|
ings, the school is back at work again
jand now in the new school auditorium?a
$10,000.00 building.
The Royal theatre reopened last
Thursday, to the enjoyment of the
movie lovers.
During the epidemic it was a common
sight to see two to three coffins
leaving town at once.
The Carolina Gin Company is
breaking all records this season in
turning out the "baled staple." Their
first season (1912) they ginned
about fifteen hundred bale6, increasing
each season until this seasnn
sr? far thev have sunned about
five thousand bales.
Plenty people in town now every
day, especially on Saturdays, and
everything is very orderly and quiet.
Nevertheless the chief says that he
is looking for a little rough about
the time "sou-cat" (sow cat) has
time to. sour good.
Miss Grace Moore spent the weekend
with relatives in Ba^mberg, returning
home Saturday afternoon accompanied
by her aunt, Mrs. E. H.
Duncan.
Speaking of the people profiteerj
ing from the war, reminds me of an
| old merchant that I heard of durj
ing the civil war (and he lived in
South Carolina, too.) He required
all of his clerks to board at his house
and made it a rule for all to attend
his family prayer each night just before
retiring. Just before .prayer
would start he would ask: "John,
did you put rocks in the coffee?"
Yes, sir. Henry,^did you put sand
in the sugar? Yes, sir. Then he
woulcl ask MoSe, the cow boy, did
you put water in the milk? Yas,
suh. Alright, you all come on in to
prayer?and he wound up by saying
"May God bless you my boys."
Say, did you see John's lip how
it was tooched out last week when
The Herald did not come? Well, he
was mad and disappointed.
The lyceum attractions were pulled
off Saturday evening in the town
hall, but owing to the cold and wet
weather the crowd was not as large
as usual.

Thursday is a national holiday,

to be thankful for, but some of us
are not going to be able to give any
thanks over "Dat Turkey." JEF.

Ehrhardt, Nov. 20.?The young
ladies are now wearing their dresses
a bit longer, because "Jack Frost"
is on the ground looking around in
the town.
We had an awfully big gathering
in the grove back of the Lutheran
church last Sunday afternoon. Owe
it all to Rev. Felder's ability to advertise
on short notice. Several
speakers, one a French lieutenant,
from Camp Jackson. He gave a glorious
description of the war and the
brutal manner in which the Germans
(dogs as he called them) treated the
women and children of France and
Belgium. A nicfe amount was given
tVio n'ar u-r?rlrprs Some of our
vvr ?? 4** v ??? w. ?- ?
people -had a real "fat" purse.
What and where is our city's correspondent?
They gave a., few good
letters and for some reason stopped.
Friend, shake a fist and let us have
some more.
The war is over,
The "Flu" is gone;
Makes us all glad that
We were born.
We had quite an electrical storm
last Sunday about 6:30 p. m. Struck
Mrs. J. W. Priester's clothes line,
killed a chicken for Mr. Joe Copeland
and knocked down and stunned
several of the ladies and children
| that were near. The rain was very
Smoak-Conkiin.
Georgetown, S. C.f Nov. 27.?A
marriage of much interest to theii
many friends throughout the State
was that of Miss Margaret Smoak,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
H. Smoak, of Georgetown, to Mr. 0.
R. Conklin, of Charleston, on Wednesday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
The ceremony was solemnized at
the Methodist parsonage by the Rev.
L. L. Bedenbaugh, with only a few
friends present.
The young couple left on the 5:25
train for Florida where they will
spend some time. On their return
they will be at home at No. 70 Van*
derhorst St., Charleston.
We carry fuses for automobile
lighting systems; also "Spot Lights"

Our young men have rung "Old
Liberty Bell" again and now they
will be marching home and if all
tales are true there are to be some
/
"wedding bells" ringing pretty soon.
There is one "sport" down here that
seems to have a choking sensation
that overcomes him. He takes his
girl out in the auto with the expectation
each time of making a proposal
?but can't get any further than a
cough. He has already burned up
one hundred gallons of gas for this
purpose. How will it be when he has
to see papa? If he ever gets that
far, something like this, I guess.
John and his girl had things fixed between
themselves, but she insisted
that he see papa. He kept putting
it off until one Sunday afternoon he
he went out to the barn with the
"old man" to feed the cattle. John
thought now was his time while the
"old man" was getting the basket
of corn. He was swallowing trying
to kpep the lump out of his throat
and after some time he managed to
say, Mr. Johnston, er-er-er?. The
old man looked up and aksed, what
do you want? Please, sir, give me
a chew of terbacker. JEF.
