Compliments Tonsil and'Adenoid Clinic Mrs. G. W. Whitake^. of Willistont Is « Generous in Praise of Recent Clinic Here. • I'- The People-Sentinel is very glad indeed to publish the following com munication from Mrs. G. W. Whita ker, of Willistoh, who is pleasantly remembered in Barnwell as Miss Catherine McNab, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William McNab: Editor, The People-Sentinel: . I am not given to writing articles for the nevwlpapers,, but there are a ^ew things that I would like to say in regard Jto the -tonsil-adenoid clinic held in Barnwell last week under the Full Description of New Ford Line Friday Local Dealers in AH’ Parts of the Country Hold Public Receptions - Tomorrow. Barnwell will get its full doscrio- tion of the new line of Ford automo biles tomorrow (Friday). A public reception to be held by local dealers is part of the national introduction of the new Ford models. In thousands of communities all over the United States tomorrow this new line of moderate-priced light auto mobiles will be introduced to millions of people. V ^ The doors of the showrooms are to be opened .promptly at 9 o’clock and auspices of the School Improvement attenda n ts W 'H be on hand throughout the remainder of the day to explain „the new and interesting features of the car which is expected to make a new chapter in automobile history. The new Ford cars are said to be the product of several years of study and planning by Henry Ford and his engineers in the great Ford labors- ♦ tories at Dearborn. Mr. Ford him self has announced that “there is nothing quite like, the new Ford car” THE FIRST SIGN OF CHRISTMAS Association.

Tbe names of some who had a part in it have al ready been mentionejl but there if another who deserves the appreciation and gratitude of every parent who had a child at the clinic—Mrs. A. A. Lemon. She wast here day and night, and in her usual characteristic unsel fish way; ministered to the .needs of patients and parents. I believe much T t^ie success of the clinic was due to usac lete. The manufacture of new parts ,for Model T replacements will con- tinue^to be an important factor of the Ford plants as long as any of the Model T cars are still in operation.' the local dealers were advised.

As there was only one to take the part of an old Southern darky, first mention will be made of Joe D. HJim rick, who played the part of “Old Mose” to perfection. His impersona tion would do credit to the profes sional stage and Mr. Miley, as “Wan- doring Tom” was as fine a piece of amateur acting as the writer has ever witnessed and as good as much pro fessional. In Mose and Wandeiing Tom, the mystery of the play—i.nd what is a play without mystery «nd love—was enwrapped. W. E.

Owens, a local garage man, was seriously if not fatally injured hero Saturday morning whep his car collided with a State Highway De partment tractor on the Barnwell-Al- lendale highway and was turned over three times. Coy Brabham, the only other occupant of the automobile, es-_ caped wjjh hardly, a scratch. Mr. Owens is now in an Augusta hospital waging his battle for life a nd attend ing physicians state that if he lives, ttn days he will have a chance to re cover. It is understood that he had a hemorrhage from the brain Tuesday, since which time his mind has been clearer. Mr. Owens was rushed to a local drug store, where first aid treatment was administered by a physician. He was later removed to his home and at that time was bleeding from his left ear and spitting up blood. A short time later he was carried to a hos pital ia Augusta, where an X-ray examination revealed a fracture of the skull at the base of the brain, his injuries being of such a nature that very little hope was held out for liis recovery. , • Mtssss. Owens and Brabham were retpming. to Barnwell gfUr rtrnrd t-iiiti partly across the road at a point' where employees of'the Highway De partment were installing a culvert in a ditch in front of a residence. Mr. Owens, for some reason, evidently did not notice the tractor until he was almost on it. He turned his wheel quickly to avoid a collision and the rear end of his car swerved and nashed into the tractor with such force that it was broken in two. The car driven by Mr. Owens turned over three times and was almost complete ly wrecked. The tractor was not ia motion at the time, the driver being just in the a ct of climbing into the seat when the collision occurred. It is understood that the highway was un obstructed for a space of about ten'' feet. R. A. Greene^Elkoi Gallic Black, Reedy Branch. James W. Bates, Morris. E. D. Peacock, Barnwell. L. P.

Speaks at Ellentcn Aiken, Nov. 26.—A large number attended the meeting today of '.lie Ellenton Agricultural club and heard Congressman Butler B.

Starting with the origin of agricul ture briefly the speaker stated that the industry in the present day was passing through a period of transition.
