Encouraged by the “hit" made here,

The Boy* Corn Club.
Mr. A. M. Sanders, who is in charge
of the Barnwell County Boys Corn Club
requests that all boys who were mem
bers last year and wish to enter this
year’s contest will notify him at once.
Mr. Sanders states that some of the old
members have already signified their
intention of entering ajjyain this year.
Mr. Sanders also requests that the
teachers of the county to whom he has
addressed letters will please pive the
matter their immediate attention.
Electric Light*.
Through the thouyhful kindness of
my son, Robert A. Easterling, my en
tire house has been wired, ready for
the electric lights, and my purpose in
this is to commend to the citizens of
Barnwell Mr. Ben Downs and his able
corps of workmen, Dan Harris and
Norman Outen. A more satisfactory
or scientific job could not have been
put up. They have given me 12 lights,
even running a line out to the stable
for convenience on dark nights.

Dr. J. W. Reeves returned to Barn
well Monday to resume his practice of
dentistry, after au absence of several
weeks, which he spent with relatives
in Orangeburg. His many friends are
indeed glad to see him back.
Mr.s W. C.Milhouse, who has been at
Knowlton’s Infirmary for the past five
or six weeks, returned home yester
day. She was operated on for appen
dicitis and her friends^incerely wish
that her recovery will continue to be
rapid.
The Farmers’ Uuion Mercantile Com
pany has a very attractive shoe adver-
tisment this week. Read what they
have to say about shoes and other arti
cles that they handle in their well ap
pointed stores. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of Mr. W. H.
Lightsey, of Brunson, in another
column of today’s issue. Mr. Lightsey
sells one of the best corn and cotton
cultivators on the market and our farm
er readers will do well to investigate
what he has to offer.
Those who have heard Miss Mar
garet B. Battle, of Augusta, in previous
song recitals will anticipate a treat for

her sistes. Miss Helen, will appear at

concert. Miss Battle will sing a new
duet with Mr. Evison, and the latter
will also have a group of songs. Mrs.

Several dollars were raised at the
Baptist Church Sunday evening for the
relief of the flood sufferers in Ohio and
Indiana. The Rev. W. J. Snyder, of
the Methodist Church, delivered a very
interesting lecture.
“Enclosediind money order for 13.25”
were the cheerful words that greeted
the eyes of the editer Monday morn
ing. The letter came from Mr. J. F.
Thomson, of Ridgeville, Ga., and en
tirely dispelled the blueness of the day.
The People takes pleasure in calling
the attention of its readers to the new
advertisement of Merchant J. A. Porter
in this week’s issue. Mr. Porter tells
of the great values in shoes for both
men and women that he now has on'
hand. Be sure and read it.
Dr. J. LaBruce Ward, of the State
Board of Health, was in tow n a couple
of days this week. He has been de

The house was beautifully and appro-

idea of Spnng-time The entire lower
floor was thrown into one. and both
hall and parlors were artistically draped
in trailing vines of bamboo, on which
were acattered profusely pink and
