This tea is being given in an effort to raise funds or books for the Barnwell County Circu’ating Library and a large crowd is expected to attend. The public is cordially invited to attend the tea, each caller being asked to bring a silver offering or a book. The bocks will be turned over to the library, which recently began functioning in Barnwell County, and the money will be used to bind books now on hand. The first trip through Barnwell County was made about the middle of November and the truck will be back through Barnwell on the 15th of this month for the purpose of depositing new books and collecting those left on its first visit The news of the library and its wonder ful opportunities has already spread so greatly that many com munities which were not originally scheduled as stops have requested that a depository be set up in their vicinity.

They can now get their bocks within a short distance of their farm homes and they also know that there will be a good se lection of books and magazines on hand at all times. A contribution to this tea will be a contribution to one of the most worthy causes in Barnwell County. Blackville Cadet Honored. Charleston, Dec. 6.—Cadet L. C. Sti’l, Jr., the son of Mr. and Mrs. L.
