they are
tender. Many horses have very fine
points about them. These bones are
used as a hat-rack by the riders at
times. If the father of a* family is
short on bones, the bones of the fami
ly usually protude gracefully in
silent testimony of their need. For
instance, us. Bones are easily broken
—both kinds. * A banana peel or a
lady can do the job in little or no
time. ’ In order to keep Up with the
ladies it requires a bunch of bones
and in order to hold on to those same
bones at requires back bone. After
the death of sotne animals their bones
are taken and used to make handles
to small brushes, common table knives
and forces and'in the manufacture of
cheap combs. Bone it* twice as strong
as oak, say the scientists and well
not dispute their word. We ddn’t care
any more about it than_a sign-paint

TEACHERS HOLD MEETING.
Regular Monthly Session Held Here
Saturday Morning.
THURSDAY, MARCH 1ST., 1917.
In view of the fact that so many
of our readers have asked us when
the war will be over, we have given
the matter considerable thought and
have about decided that the end will
be coincident with the appearance of
wool on the back of a hydraulic ram.
The law prohibiting the publication
of liquor advertisements in newspa
pers, which goes into effect on the
16th inst., does not affect The People.
We have long held the view that a
family newspaper should not also be
a whiskey salesman.
Shoe manutarturers claim that ev
ery inch added to the length of the,
women's skirts coot them just 110,000,-
000, and every inch so added would
no doubt he worth about the same
amount to the producers of cotton.
Let's lengthen ’em
Before many weeks have passed, we
expect to see a book with the follow-
mg title? "The Leak: A Sequel to
Prensied Finance By Tom Lawson
At the same time we venture the pre
diction that it will not rank among
the best sellers
The State expresses the opinion that
Jacksonville may not need a postmas
ter after July 1st And, it might be
remarked in passing, the services of
the express agent may also be dis
pensed with
We hereby serve, notice on our sub
scribers that s failure to pay their sub
scription dues promptly will be consid
ered an overt act and will be followed
promptly by s severance of diplomaWr
relations.
.'Bill to Provide Home for Feeble-
Minded in Lower House."—Headline.
And judging from the number of fool
bills annually introduced, it would ap
pear that quite s large home will be
needed
Another one of the pathetic little
episodes of real life is'the man who
comes into our office to* "borrow" a
match and then strikes it on the wall..
We learn from a reliable source
that the best method of getting rid
of the blues is to buck a straight flush
with four living balls of fire.
The fourth regular monthly meet
ing of the Barnwell County Teachers’
Association was held in Barnwell on
Saturday morning, the president, Dr.
Robt. S. Bailey, presiding. This be
ing t)ie last meeting to be .held be
fore Field Day and the annual meet

tion, the attendance was unusually
large. Delegates were elected to
represent the county association, and
Sujlt. T. E. Crane, of Allendale, was
elected as the Barnwell -Geunty mem
ber of th# Council.
After a few discussions, Field Day
program was taken up, and SupL Z.
L. Madden, of Blackville, chairman of
the Executive ’Committee, gave a
thorough explanation of the contests,
literary and athletic.
All business having been finished,
the Association listened for anhour
to a splendid address on prohibition
by W. D. Upshaw, who la employed by
the Anti-Saloon League. After re-

BONES.
Bones are things that are found in
skeletons, heads, banks, nigger min
strels and crap games. Bones have
been here since the beginning; Adam
gave one bone for’Eve. Bones are
mighty little things sometime^ but
they sure can worry a man; the little
things always do worry men—for in
stance, father paying a bill for his
daughter's bathing suits. Bones are
hard but are made of dust; the bones
that are sometimes known as dollars
are made of gold dust snd they (the
bones, not the twins) will do your
work. The bones of the human body
are also made of dust and go back
to dust. If a fellow has bats in his
belfry—rooms to rent upstairs, you
know—he is a bonehead. If he has
more sense and intelligence than any
ewe else he is a crank and a bone-
head just the tame. So there you
are. The end men in
ually have bawaa in the

T want to teN you what wonderful benefit I have re- J
• celved from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes W
J Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. W
J _“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds, J
J liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught ¥
J saved my little girl's life. When she had the measles, J
J they went in on her, but one good dose of Thed*6rd's J
? Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no J
j more trouble. I shall never be without J
BLack-draugHT
J in my heme.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi- J
J ness, malaria, chilis and fever, biliousness, and all similar ^
ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe, ^
reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.
