In a highly exciting contest in which the Goddess Luck played no small part, Blackville won from Barnwell in the Thanksgiving Day football classic, the score being 7 to 2. It is not detracting from the glory of the winners in any way to say that the best team did not win—and this state ment could have been made truthfully regardless of the outcome—for both it would be unfair to say thaf~either is the best. The kick-off was made in a drizzle of rain, and at the end of the first quarter it was seen that the team which got the “breaks" would be the winner, if the game did not result in a tie. For three periods the score was 04). and then the fickle goddr«s p<n l»d fcacr a I m** gaffi l k ’Hr %tftlt THANKSGIVING PASSED QUIETLY IN DUNBARTON Many Rested, Others Went Hunting and Some Saw Football Game. Dunbarton, Dec. 4.—Thanksgiving passed off very quietly in Dunbarton. Most of the people took the occasion to enjoy a day of rest. As is the case on the first day when the bird season comes in, a great many went hunting. They report fair luck, nobody having been_j*eported for exceeding the bag limit. Several others who think more of football than hunting went to see •elevens were so evenly matched thaTJthe Barnwell - Bldckville game r.t Blackville. This was the most excit ing game played ?n the county this season and was w?U worth the trip over there. ALLENDALE CITIZEN DIED IN COLUMBIA LAST WEEK Mr. J.
