Our Third Exposition.

There has been SO much inquiry from
every part of the county upon the sub
jcct of an Exposition this year, and
there seems TO be such widespread in
terest felt upon the subject, that we
take more than ordinary pleasure in
publishing a call this week from the
President Of the Fruit Growers Society
converting the members on Saturday,
18th lust, TO commence arrangements
for the third annual display. These an
nual exhibitions and reunions are of in
culculable benefit to MS individually and
collectively, socially and materially,
and we think every citizen ought to
contribute to their success. Every
man, whether lac be fruit grower or
not, should become member of the So
clety, and encourage it by his presence,
influence and support, and no fruit
grower, however limited his operations
and experience may be, should fail to
interest himself and his neighbor
in the Society. No town or city
in the South ever boosted of n grander
Exposition than the one we had last
year. II was not only grand i'm its dis
play of fruits, flowers, vegetables, etc,
but rs an occasion for the interchange
OF those social amenities which after all
are the only real beautiyers of life, it
was an undeniable and overwhelming
success, Il can, and doubtless will, be
made much better this year in every re-
spect than it was last. But hearty CO.
operation upon the part of cur people
will he required. We hope and believe
that no one will falter. Come to the
meeting. Don't forget the day, Satur-
day, June 18th.

MIR. EDITOR The following note
may be of into Jest TO your readers:
The Federal Constitution provides for
the Inauguration of our Presidents on
the 9TH of March, once in every four
years. AS twenty-eight years is So
lar cycle, and common multiple of
four and seven, it follows that the inau-
guration day of every seventh President
must be Sunday. The first occurrence
of the kind was on the 4th of March,
1921, at the second inauguration of Jas.
Monroe. At the inauguration of Zach
airy Taylor in 1919 Sunday was the 4th
of March. The 4th of March, 1877, the
time for President Grants successor to
come in, is Sunday. The 18th of March,
1917, forty years from the Inauguration
of Giants successor, will be Sunday.
This interruption of the regular cycle
is caused by the fact that 1900 is not
leap year. From 1917 to the close of
the twenty-first century the regular cy-
Gle will obtain and the Inauguration
days for Sunday will be in 1915, 1878,
POOL, 2O20, 2057 and 20S5. The next in
auguration day on Sunday viii be the
4th of March, 2137, 81 years from the
last. This second interruption is oc-
casioned by the fact that 2l00 is not
leap year. And so on.
The birthday of American independ-
ence was Thursday. Our centennial
birthday will be Sunday, July 4th, 1875,
Our birthday in 1876 will be Tuesday
Query-Are our people preparing to
celebrate the hundredth or the hun
dredth and first birthday? If they are
preparing to celebrate the hundredth,
they take it for granted that we were a
year old the day we were born. Let
the Swans who read the CITIZEN look
over this and see whether there is any
mistake. CHRoNOs.

OUR CUSTOMERS.

Inasmuch as Agents selling the ''old
style or Cog Cleared Machines have
circulated many reports prejudicial to
our gearing, we would say the success
of our machine lin keeping with the
present timc) Is the certain death of the
old style machines, and the cry about
wearing out is an effort on the part of
our competitors to keep us out of the
market as long as possible, but they
may just as well try to keep day from
following night. Our success is GER
tain.
We want our customers to under
stand, if properly oiled, we warrant
the Wheel and Screw to outwear
the machines, while the cost of keeping
up the gearing in other machines will
range from $25 to $50 each, making the
Superior" that much cheaper than
any other in actual outlay for repairs.
The Gun Metal Wheel and Cast Steel
Screw are anti-friction in nature, and
being cut gearing, runs just rs true as
the works of clock or watch. We are
truly yours,
Superior Machine Co.

This Is the subject of new lecture
just prepared by our friend, Lieut.. John
Woodbridge, anil will bedelivered for the
first time at Antoinette Hall on Tuesday
night, 18th inst. The subject is most
skillhlly and beautifully handled i'm the
lecture, and Is one peculiarly suited to
the lecturer himself. "I.ight and the
Hunmn Eye" is a theme ia which poets
and philosophers might revel with de-
light, but ia the hands of one whose
eyes have been dimmed forever and
from whose vision the light has faded to
shine no more, but with an intellect un-
clouded and an Imagination even bright
ened by his sad misfortune, it becomes
"A theme of wondrous beauty. In this
lecture the human eye is dissected, not
technically, bat philosophically and po-
etically, and laughing eyes and spark
ling eyes, and loving eyes and prying

certainly would, il, like our friend, the
fate Of war had doomed us to perpetual
blindness-if in the prime of young
manhood and i'm the flush of victory,
when hope was pointing to home and
friends and professional triumphs, a
leaden missed had come crashing thro'
orr temples, shutting out the light and
closing the eyes forever. But the lee
