Mrs. J. E. Newsom Entertains
Martha Watson Chapter, D. A. R.
Williston, April 14.—The ' regular
monthly meeting of the Martha
Watson chapter, D. A. R. f was held
with the chapter regent, Mrs. J E.
Newsom, Thursday. The weather
was rainy but that did not prevent
an enthusiastic attendance, nearly
every local D. A. R. being present.
To the regret of all, the leader for
the day, Mrs. C. C. Smith, Sr., was
too sick to be present and give her
talk on the subject of “California
Red Wood Trees.” Mrs. G. W.
Whitaker took her place and assist
ed by Mrs. G. C. Matthews and Mrs.
E. W. Black entertained with
stories of our various state and
national flags and their uses on
Dunbarton Gleanings.
Dunbarton, April 16.—Dr. E. W.
Ellis has moved his office into the
Rountree sitorfe building, directly a-
cro§s from his residence on Hickory
Street.
The Dunbarton cemetery has un
dergone a thorough cleaning and
now the sweet flowers are beginning
to bloom in a variety of colors. Why
not beautify the graves and trans
form this flowerless place into a
beautiful garden?
Garden week and clean-up week
will be observed the last week in
April. Get together for a general
clean-up and make Dunbarton the
garden spot of Barnwell County is
the appeal of the Mayor.
Mr. P. J. Hiers went over to Au
gusta Friday on business.
The Rev. Will O. Gordon will de

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
WILL MEET IN BARNWELL
Congressman Byrnes Will Deliver
Address Thursday* April Z6.
Realizing the fact that the ranks
of our Boys of the 60’s are growing
thinner each year, the Johnson Ha-
good Chapter, U. D. C., is planning
to make April 26th a memorable day
in Barnwell. So many of our be
loved old Veterans have grown too
feeble to attend the big reunions
and we feel that we should give
them a real good time here at home !
and show in a measure our apprecia
tion of their heroic work in the days
of the dim past. -
The first real good news is that
the Hon. James ’ F. Byrnes will ad
dress the Veterans at 11 o'clock on
the morning of the 26th at the Vamp
Theatre, which means that the Vamp
