The annual military inspection of the Barnwell Guards ' was made on Thursday by Assistant Adjutant Gen eral Brock, State Troops, and Lt. Ben nett, U. S. A.

X whispered among her admirers that in bestowing her hand she should give her heart, the hand was too small. To be surrounded by a cortege of friends was to het; the zenith of happiness. Simple in dress, exquisite in manner, she held the reins of society in her shapely hands. To know her was to Icve her. Men were like courtiers, they reverenced the fair sex—placed them on pedestals and in this way ac knowledge their supremacy. Our amusements were diversified. Dancing in the long winter evenings, interspersed with whist, backgammon and cribbage. Around the village— Barnw’ell—were lovely bridle paths. Horseback riding was never tired of. Miles and miles of forest, often hedg ed in by rail fencing, covered with yel low jasmine, honeysuckle and briar roses and running brooks. The gal lants would stop where the cool spring bubbled up and improvise an oak leaf for my lady’s cup.. As they galloped on one could hear mocking birds in the distance “singing their songs without words.” Apple and peach or chards awaited, ready to dispense their sweetness to the passing strang ers. Hagood’s Mill was quite a resort in “the golden summer time.’’ Boats were always ready for fishing and gath ering pend lilies. There we sent to grind our corn and wheat. And while waitiftjjf w for their carts, wagons and buggies many of the darkiee would catch fish and take them home for supper as a surprise to their missus. Such an ideal spot for picnics and bar becues it was- Bream, perch and trout were plentiful and the crowning event was early breakfast at Hagood’s Mill—hot fried fish, corn muffins, cof fee—food fit for a king. A short drive it was with frisky horses. The fisher men had everything in readiness^’ben we ’ anflVed. Those were days of abundance and carefree existence. Kate Tobin had her share in all, a tr most happy girlhood. One pleasure routed another. In the boats were only two Music on the water was seft and low. How Kate gloried in it. We sangs songs suitable for the oc casion, among which were: “Sailing,” “Gum Tree Canoe,” “Love Will Light His Tapers Brighter,” “Breathe Not a Word of Our Love,” “Love Will Fool You, Love Will Rule You.” The moon would ^ive us inspiration. Before the wee small hours we would gallop back to the village on our faithful steeds, and think of future moonlight trips to Hagood’s Mill. Kat'e was a dainty picture on horse back with a green marine riding habit fitting perfectly, gloves, cap and laced riding boots and an ivory handled rid-, ing whip; everything matched, a per fect setting. The horse’s coat was like brown satin. -HititheiBull’f; EyelThlstycar- With .CONCENTR ATEplPURITY t* ^ J TH* Bwll't Eya you ora shooting for is grootar yiald par dollar of axpansa'ThatVwhy you ( must havo a high-tost nitrata of soda, ona that is quick and sura in action ond^jdalivars tha goods" undor all conditions.' v ~ v Bocduso of HS concontratod purity7AftCAD!AN / ~ THE'AMERICAN NITRATE'of SOD a7 hits tha] Bull’s Eya a vary tima.
