The old time neighlKirlme** lhat
characterized Barnwell county people
before thr day* and month* and year*

tirely departed' On Monday M i. J. O.
Griffin pt^ved that happy fact by
bringing u« a contribution of'thn mo*t
toothsome sausage and backbone that
a tirst das* f inner and superior house
keeper could prepare. For there was
the flavor of the beloved o! 1 time* when
life w»# a long period of ease and com
fort and abundance at home and of
kindly relation* to neighbor* and gen
erous sympathy with the less fortunate.
There was a plenty of thi* good pre*
Christmas cheer .o go round, and all
the office waa tempted to go Back to
the Farm. Tbe vote of thank* was
uoanlmous.
A dsring attempt st escarm wa* made
early Thursday morning by Charlie
Holman, colored, who wa* convicted
at the March term of court for cow
stealing and sentenced to five year* on
