SOCIAL AND PERSONAL NEWS FROM WILLISTON _____ ^ Mrs. J. E. Newsom Entertains Martha Watson Chapter, D. A. R. Williston, April 14.—The ' regular monthly meeting of the Martha Watson chapter, D. A. R. f was held with the chapter regent, Mrs. J E. Newsom, Thursday. The weather was rainy but that did not prevent an enthusiastic attendance, nearly every local D. A. R. being present. To the regret of all, the leader for the day, Mrs. C. C. Smith, Sr., was too sick to be present and give her talk on the subject of “California Red Wood Trees.” Mrs. G. W. Whitaker took her place and assist ed by Mrs. G. C. Matthews and Mrs. E. W. Black entertained with stories of our various state and national flags and their uses on Dunbarton Gleanings. Dunbarton, April 16.—Dr. E. W. Ellis has moved his office into the Rountree sitorfe building, directly a- cro§s from his residence on Hickory Street. The Dunbarton cemetery has un dergone a thorough cleaning and now the sweet flowers are beginning to bloom in a variety of colors. Why not beautify the graves and trans form this flowerless place into a beautiful garden? Garden week and clean-up week will be observed the last week in April. Get together for a general clean-up and make Dunbarton the garden spot of Barnwell County is the appeal of the Mayor. Mr. P. J. Hiers went over to Au gusta Friday on business. The Rev. Will O.

Realizing the fact that the ranks of our Boys of the 60’s are growing thinner each year, the Johnson Ha- good Chapter, U. D. C., is planning to make April 26th a memorable day in Barnwell. So many of our be loved old Veterans have grown too feeble to attend the big reunions and we feel that we should give them a real good time here at home ! and show in a measure our apprecia tion of their heroic work in the days of the dim past. - The first real good news is that the Hon. James ’ F. Byrnes will ad dress the Veterans at 11 o'clock on the morning of the 26th at the Vamp Theatre, which means that the Vamp SCHOOLS ARE INVITED TO TAKE PART IN EXERCISES Gov.
