Oq last Saturday, at the home of Mr. Adams who lives ou the pUiutatioa of Mr. Charley Dia mond, which is about five miles west of Barnwell, Mr. Wolford Morris received a gunsliot wound at the hands of Keuhen Jacobs, according to reports re ceived in Barnwell. The wound ed man wag carried to the hos pital in Augusta for medical at tention. it is understood that the wound is of a serious'nature and the outcome of it is very un certain. Although reports from the hospital show that the intes tines were pt*rforated' by the bul let, yet Mr. Morris is doing as well as could he expected and that hopes are held for his re covery. The unfortunate affair seems to have grown out of a dispute betweenjhe two men as to cer tain language used by Morris in the presence of certain members of the family. A personal alter cation ensued between the two men which resulted in the shoot ing. Drs. R. A, Giles, of Black ville, and A. B. Patterson, of Bariiville, were in attendence on the wounded man, who w r a9 about 22 years old. All Soldiers in Barnwell Countv, either discharged, on account of disability or otherwise, seeking or desiring information or help towards obtaining unpaid all ments allowances, tracing Bonus, keeping up war insurance, or any other kind of information, help or service, will please apply to Miss Kate Woodward, Chairman of the Home Service Section, Civilian. Relief, of the American Red Cross Chapter, Barnwell, S. G\, and any help to Soldiers or Soldier’s familes, will he gladly furnished, krek OF CHARGE.

Honest to goodness it's-simply'disgrace- ful the way folks are in this town. Everybody want! to have something like somebody else has. For instance, uow, take these red hats. Of course they are just as nifty as anything ever was, and yet there is no pleasure in wearing one; you see ’em everywhere you look; but never mind about that, you will be shown one hat in a few days that will be right up to date, and no one can copy That, for the idea was taken from a pattern sheet direct from 1‘aris, and the directions were all writ ten in French and had to be in terpreted. 0 that hat will be- a darling!—wait until you see it and you will die with envy.

The w’ork in this church has opened up with good promise after the long inaction due to “flu” quarantines and many other causes. Dr. Jones began his pastorageon March 9th. His family were moved last w r eek into the parsonage which had been renovated and waterworks installed. The pantry had been well filled by the gcod people of the church. Their kindness was manifested in many ways, par ticularly in- this busy season when they cheerfully contribu ted the motor trucks to move his househeld goods. At the morn ing service on yesterday the con gregation agreed to raise half of the amount needed for support and benevolence during the year by April 30th. ’ . • Among those in the congrega tion of the Baptist church Stm- dayoight wore Mn and Mrs. J.
