Mother's Day.
Sunday, May 8th, will be Mother’s
Day. The observance of the day was
inaugurated several years ago and
immediately sprang into nation-wide
popularity, for the pure and simple
reason that there lives not “a man
(or woman) with soul so dead” that
does not honor and revere the name
“Mother.” Webster’s Dictionary con
tents itself with the definition, “a
female parent,” but God pity the
child who knows no other meaning of
the word! It’s true meaning cannot
be defined within the covers of any,
book ever written, nor accurately de
dieted upon canvass by a master hand
Facing death with a smile to bring
her child into being, "Mother” con
tinues, from the cradle to the grave,
to lavish a world of love and vtende'r-
ness on her boy or girl. No sacrifice
is too great, ho obstacle is insur
mountable, when measured against
her mother4pve. Like the love of
God, and second only unto it, mother-
love “passeth all understanding.”
Poets and writers, sculptors and
painters have sung her praises from
time immemorial, but none of them
has ever been able to mete out to her
the honor that is her due. No truly
great man ever took unto himself all
of the credit for his greatness*. How
often have we heard the expression,
“Whatever I am, I owe to my
MOTHER.” Some one has rightly
said, “Angels are called mothers here
on earth.” _
The observance of Mother’s Dav is
simple in the extreme, it's recogni
tion confffsts in the wearing of a flow
er in her honor—a colored one if she
is living, a white one if she has been
called to her reward. A spoken or
written word of love and appreciation
if you are still blessed with her dear
companionship, a prayer for her in
tercession if she has taken her place
near the Great White Throne.
The quarterly meeting of the 3rd
Division of W.Tf. t). of the Barnwell
Asso^iatidn will convene with St.
John Society on Saturday, May 14th,
at 11 o’clock a. m. All churches in

Mrs. Z. X Hutson, who Itoes a few
miles from Blackviile, entertained 80
relatives and friends on Wednesday
April 27th, in celelbration of her 71st
milestone. A bounteous dinner was
served, which was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present. The unavoidable ab
sence* of •'ithree of her children was all
that kept the day from being perfect
in every respect. The People joins
with other friends in wishing llfap.

Mr. F. M. Cook Dead.
Mr. F. M. Cook died at his home in
Columbia at an early hour Tuesday

tery in the presence of a large con
ocurse of sorrowing relatives and
sympathetic friends. He is survived

and four brothers, besides a host of
friends to mourn his death.
Thrift, Health and Beauty.
A Crying Shame
The People has heard considerable
complaint lately from property own
ers in Barnwell whose yards and
flower gardens have been (and are
being) damaged by stray horses,
mules and cows, particularly the lat
ter, Strange as it may seem to the
owners of these animals, there are
quite a number of people in this little
Old world of ours who really take a
pride in beautifying the yards of their
homes, many of which have no fences
eround them, either from preference
or for other reasons, and, therefore, it
is not always possible to bar stray
animals from the premises. We know
of one- home-owner who recently
spent quite a tidy little sum for phnts
and shrubs, only to have them irretriev
ably damaged in one night by some
body’s stray stock. Net long ago a-
nother man. whose wife has spent con
siderable lime and money in air effort
to beautify thefr hornet spent an en
tire Sunday morning in chasing.some
body's cow from his premises.
We are told by no less ap authority
than a member of the pue' ent city coun
cil that there is an ordinance on the
nooks making the <»v.ner-of livestock
punishable, by a fine
keep his animals off
We learn from Ibis same. gentleman
that recently a Barnwell citizen re
quested that a COW, which \vq* hnni.io-
trig his yard, be taken into custody
i nd was informed that “it’s, no rise, as
the owner owes !j>12 m*\v.” We real
ize that it is not always possible to
prevent livestock from getting out,
but liberal fines applied to and collect
ed from those w..o apparently make
little or no eftort to confine theirovni-
• mals would do much towards breaking
up the practice. •> ! "-
The People will be - glad, to hear
from any home-owner who has suffer
ed along this Tine. ~

Women Form Officers’ Council.
On Saturday the officers of the
Home Demonstration Club met in the
Demonstration office and organized
an officers council with Mrs’ Claudia
Kennedy, of the Pleasant Hill Club,
as president, Miss Estelle Ratteree,
of the San Hill Club, vice-president,
and Miss Corine Turner, of the Long
Branch Club, secretary. Committees
were appointed.
The meeting was called bjr the
Home -Demonstration Agent. The
council was formed for the purpose
of bringing about a closer coopera
tion between the agent and the club
members. Slips of paper on which
the name of the person and the club
she represented were pinned on e*ch
of the ladies as they entered the door.
This made it easier to get acquainted
with each other..
A few words of welcome were
spoken by Miss Cave, which was fol
lowed by an address by Miss Bessie
Harper, District Home Demonstra
tion Agent, on the vaiue and purpose
of the council. Miss Estelle Ratteree
spoke on what a Home Demonstration
Club means to the Women of a com
munity.
‘Much enthusiasm and interest were
shown throughout the meeting.- Af
ter the business session refreshments
were served.

A Wise Suggestion.
The People wishes to commend the
suggestion made last week by Mrs.
Marie T. Cornell that a Boy Scout
Troop be ‘ established in Barnwell.
. This movement is gaining consider-tble
headway in the larger cities through
out the* country, so much so that ‘a
^ page or more is devoted weeklyto + heir
activities by the daily papers (n ,Co-
‘' lumbia and Augusta. Surely a lead-
1„> er fpr the hoys can be found. What
de other parents in Barnwell think of
the idea? • >-
