Williston, April 29.—On January 17, 1919, the Death Angel entered the home of Mr-. J. W. Kennedy and took mother to be with our Lord. Mother had been ih ill health for several years and last November she was confined to her room and bed. Her suffering was great but she fciore it with Christian patience. We loved her dearly but our Lord loved her most, so He took her to Heaven to await our coming. Mother was a member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church.

Kate Woodward, Louise Porter, Eole McNab and Thelma Mazursky; from the high school: Misses Gertrude Holmes, Blanche Porter, Loulie Moore and Elizabeth Easterling. It is an ticipated that the rivalry between the two teams will be very keen. A most entertaining and instruc tive educational program has been ar ranged for this year, but because it is educational in its nature does not mean that it is dull. In fact, Miss Garling- ton assured the guarantors hat there will be something to interest the audi ence every minute. Sketches of the men and women who will furnish the three days’ entertainment will be found in the page advertiement of the Chau tauqua in this issue of The People. The program is published above. The afternoon performances will start promptly* at 5 o'clock and the evening performances at 9. The guarantors have no selfish mo-v tive in bringing the Chautauqua to Barnwell. It is not a money-making scheme for them. On the other hand, they have agreed to give the surplus, trany, to the support of the French orphans adopted by the local school, their sole object being to provide the people of this section with clean, moral high-class entertainment. .Departing from the custom of pre vious years, the Chautauqua will* be held this year in a large tent, which will probably be erected in “The Cir cle.” This tent has a capacity of six hundred people and it is hoped that it will be necessary to put out' the “Standing Room Only” sign. A sec tion will be reserved for the negroes, who are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to see and hear some thing out of the ordinary.
