Barnwell circuit, and Rev. MIR. Beden:
baugh, editor of the Ministerial Union.
The dinner, as usual, was bountiful one,
The people of that section have reputa-

and they sustained it we'll. 1t was our
pleasure and privilege to be present, and
we enjoyed being with our friends. In
no section of the county has this paper
and its editor more warm friends than
this, and naturally we take advantage OF
every occasion to visit them.
The annual picnic is always great
occasion, and Pastor J. H. Wilson and
the members of his church exert them
selves to make it success. 1t is one Of
the most quiet and orderly gatherings We
ever attended, and the thoughtfulness fol
each others comfort and convenience on
an occasion like this is something to bt
wondered at.

full. The remarkably low price at which
they are selling buggies, surreys, phatons,

spread attention, and buggies of all kinds
are being sold by them all over this sec

gets his money back if goods are not as
