Agent, Extends an Invita-;
tion to the Public
All good Baptists and all other
citizens of Sumter and Sumter
county, those who believe in and
those who do not espouse INNER
sion. but VINO like to get on the
outside of good things to eat-all
and singular, please sit up and take
notice because the dear ladies of
the Pinewood Baptist church are
now talking, but you can't hear
them because the telephone ex-
change in Pinewood was burned
down several months ago. but the
ladies are talking still and talking
again just the same. And they
have requested the secretary Of the
Sumter Chamber of Commerce to
help them by recording and pub
fishing what the ladies are saying
and announce that Notwithstanding
the ladies of DalZell put on as fine
a dinner Friday as ever mortal
man or immortal woman ate-yet
the Pinewood ladies' say they are
going to frame up cricken din
ner and barbecue special and ac-
cessories at Pinewood on Wednes-
day. August the 23rd that will
never be forgotten by those who
are so fortunate as to be able to
partake thereof. All that you can
eat and fill and refill your plates
as many times as you like for the
inconsiderable, infnitesinlal. insig-
nihcant sum of four bits-ffty
cents. In plain English, half Of
a dollar. This is straight goods,
not ..hot air." The proceeds for
the benefit of the Pinewood Bap-
list church and this feast to be
spread Immediately following the
feast OF political discussions by nu-
merous candidates for county Of
fees and solicitor.
Sumter county is the greatest
place in the world to be in just
now in particular because about
twice week ladies of different
sections of the county are in a
friendly rivalry to see who can put
on the most delicious dinners for
practically nothing. considering the
quality and quantity for the price
asked. Pinewood is q Sumter
county town of which we are all
proud.
The Baptist church in that place
was few months ago badly dam
aged by wind storm and the Ia
DIES are endeavorins to raise money
with which to reconstruct and
otherwise remedy the damage. They
are asking all Sumter business and
professional men with whom these
ladies and their husbands and sons
ard daughters spend many thou-
sands Of dollars every year to go
to Pinewood on Wednesday, Aug
ust 23rd and cooperate with them
like Pinewood has been cooperating
with Sumter's merchants and other
business concerns for many years.
Dinner will be served about 1 p.
M. and those who wish to purchase
extra dinners to bring back to the
dear ones at home, If any OF the
dear ones are left or allow them
selves to be left at home. if you
lust take a bucket to fetch back
the dinrer-but don't take a wa
ter bucket or q wash tub for this
purpose. No man knows how long
these weekly. events of gastromomi-
cal importance will last. So get
ready to go to Pinewood next We'd
nesday and enjoy yourself and
n1ingle with and be good friends
with hundreds of the best friends
Sumter ever had, and with as fine
men and women as eGer lived.
There are dozens Of good Sumter
citizens who for several years have
been suffering from constitutional
grouches and "cold feet" and whose
memories have grown rusty wor-
rying about the money they didn't
make since the boil weeyil turned
democrat and adopted Sumter
county as its home, and since the
defation of credits and business
slump set in, who would be bene-
ited physically, mentally. and fin
ancially if they would only just get
out in the country and eat a few
of tho picnic dinners the ladies are
serving. and mingle with people
who know how to enjoy life. 1t
must be terrible to be rich anyhow
If you have no appetite for the
hundreds of good things Sumter
county women know how to cook.
Pinewood ladies are expert cooks
and they and their husbands know
how to run farm on the "liye at
home" methods.
