Hirsch Bros. & Go's Grand "" Millinery Opening will come off on next Wednesday and Thurs day, the 23rd and 24th inst. No lady can afford to miss this opportunity ft secure at - least a sight of the display ot hats that will be shown on those two days. Remember the dates, the 23rd and 24th. A Runaway. k | Mr. S. I. Cato, of Chesterfield, was in the city on Tuesday in i search of a runaway son. He found him at the Camden Cotton Mill but did not keep him long, the kid dodging him, so now it appears that Mr. Cato is in about as bad shape as ever. Cause and Effect. Why is it that tl)e ladies go so steadily to the Camden Millinery Company for their spring hats? Because they can secure there the most stylish millinery, and the elfect is seen when they come out on the streets on Sunday, and at other times. Give the young ladies in charge of this emporium a call before makijg your purchases elsewhere. Born, * * On March 11, to Mr. and Mrs. B. R- Truesdell, a son. Hurrah for you Banyan. If this sort of thing keeps up as it should do, we will be able to raise a regi ment of soldiers from Kershaw county alone from this year's crop within the nox;t twenty years.

Postmasters to whose offices "The People'.' goes are request ad to report promptly to us the names of any parties to whom "The People" is addressed who fail to take out their paper. This Is important, as in a number of instances friends of these par ties have handed us their names, thus giving us a virtual sub scription, but we do not want any one to have the paper who does not want it, or who is too - poor to spend three cents a week for iL Death* Mrs. M. A. Gamewell, mother of Mrs. D. L. DeSaussure died at her home in Spartanburg on Maroh 10th. Mrs. Gamewell was with us only a short time ago on a visit to her daughter, and the announcement of her death came very much m a shock to her friends and relatives here. Died on the morning of Mch. 14th, Mrs. Laurenton Boykin of the Spring Hill section of con ' sumption after a long and pain ful illness. We extend to the bereaved husband and family pur oondolences. ^ AfoangynenU ire being made for a Uf fnlr tournament at Camden btginning next Mondaj and to continue through the week ? possibly. longer. If the pteseat plans succeed, the. con tests will be between oraclr teams from Camden, Aiken and New Orleans, and efforts are being made to get several other teams on the ground. A large number of Columbia people will likely attend the games, and the Seaboard will probably run specials from Col umbia on convenient schedules (or their accommodation. Stylish Millinery. Mr. Gus Hirsch, of the Arm of Hirsch Bros. A Co., has been in the Northern markets for some weeks, purchasing their spring stock, which includes the largest and most fashionable line of mil linery that has ever been present ed for the consideration of dur fastidious Camdenians of the feminine gender. Don't think of buying a hat until you inspect their stock. Their now milliner is an artist in her lino, and can please in quality style and price. The Sick. ~~ " Mrs. W. T. Han.mond contin ues quite severely ill. Her many friends here hope for her speedy recovery. 1 * Mr. B. P. Foreman was called by wire on Mch. 8th to attend the bedside of his mother at Salisbury, N. C. We hope that no serious result will follow this illness Since the above was put in type, Mrs. Foreman has died. We regret to learn that Mrs A. L.C. Kinard, of West Wa teree, is seriously ill. We trust that a change for the better mav soon come. We wish to call the attention of the people to the ad. of Mr O. L Hurley , which appears in this issue. Mr. Hurley has re commendations from out best people since he has been with us, so when in need of any work Jn his line give him a call at the Clyburn block. Spring Opening. Your attention is called to the card of the Camden Millinery Co. conducted by Misses Belle Thomson and Susie Young just south of the Camden Drug Co. These young ladies have a veritable bower of beauty to those of the feminine gender and the display of Spring hate to be found there is something marvelous for Camden. This is of course what the ladies say. As for us, we could not distinguish the difference between one hat and another unless one had red ribbon on it and the other did not. City Primary, The primary election for Mayor and board of Aldermen held on Tuesday resulted in the selection of Mr. H. G. Carrison, Mayor, and Messrs. John A. Singleton, Dr. W. J. Dunn, S. B Latham and P. T. Villepigue! aldermen. All good selections, though all the candidates were high-class men. To those who were defeated The People extend congratulations as we have been there ourselves, and to those nominated, we extend sympathy for we have been there too, and know that the lot of an alderman who does his duty is not all that it might look to outsiders. We hope that the new board when elected and has taken charge will maintain their repu tation as progressive men and do something. From time to time during their incumbency, we shall call their attention to certain things that in our opin* ion should have thoir attention; the corrcction of which will make Camden more of an up-to date city than it is now.
