Miss Lou Cute, daughter Of our
cOuntyman, Mr.. GILES Clute, was
one Of merry purity that left Clin-
ton more than two weeks ago for
the Fayetteville Centennial. On her
return home she was stricken down
by the hand of sickness at Warsaw,
and on last Thursday morning her
spirit was summoned before the God
who gave it. Her death was alto
gether unexpected and was quite a
shock to her many friends. Miss
Clute was model young lady and
a consistent member of the Baptist
church. The funeral services were
conducted at the grave il Clinton
Cemetery, on Friday, at / o'clock,
by Rev. 0. y. Meeks. Our SYM
pathies are extended to her bereaved
family and many friends.
Compliments for the almost
phenomenal success of the Sampson
Fair continue to come from every
quarter. Several parties who have
attended a half dozen or more fairs
this year, and who ere competent
judges, are out-spoken in their opiD
ion that the Sampson Fair was the
best In the State. We ourselves
were perfectly astonished at the
quantity and quality Of the exhibit
which our good people brought out
IF we can do this in the face of "hard
times" bad crops and with only six
weeks preparation, what might we
not do under favorable conditions
In fact stranger who examined the
stock on exhibit and took walk
through Agricultural Hall, would bt
hard to convince that Sampson ever
made poor crop. He would sup
pose us to be strangers to the mean
ing of "hard times" The fine spec
linens of agricultural products OTTER
seen at fairs, scarcely ever represent
the true condition Of Agriculture
but simply a local, stimulated condi
tion,--something prepared especial
ly to be placed on exhibit. Not 81
with us for our farmers had no ide;
of holding fair till after their crop
were made. What they exhibite,
was the result of their usual eff
forts as good farmers. Let us go t.
work now for a fair next yea
that will surpass even tn
remarkable success which we hav
just had. The Agricultural SOciet,
should revive its monthly meeting
and discuss agricultural topics, s
that the wisdom and success of eacl
may become the wisdom and success
of all.
