FAIRVIEW SCHOOL.
Exercises On Last Satur
y day Marked the Close of Sue
cessful Session.


township, held its closing exercises on
last Saturday. The school was taught
the past session by Miss Jessie Brown.
Of Sumter county. There were nearly
fifty pupils enrolled, and much inter
est was taken in the school by the pat
rons and citizens Of the community.
sIf one could judge by the evidence
and careful trainn" which was mani
fest in the closing exercises, the con-
clusion should be that Miss Brown
had done good work during the ses-
sion just closed.
This school is located in one of the
most prosperous and thickly settled
white communities in this county.
Leaving Prosperity one never gets out
of view of 4 farm home between the
town of Prosperity and the Lexington
Zine. The people who live in this
community own their own homes and
in great measure do their own work
and rs y result live in comfort. are
prosperous and have comfortable
bank accounts.
The public road leading from Fair
view, however. is in an almost I'M
paSsablc condition. There is need that
something should be done to improve
our public highways. In fact, the
condition Of the public roads in this
county would almost convince one
that the county was moving back
ward in those things which make for
the bettermcnt Of humanity, but we
should not judge by this evidence
alone, and let us hope that the con-
dition in which the roads have been
for the past several months will
arouse our people to more interest
and result in their making some effort
to give us better roads. Until the
people, however. make up their minds
to put some money into thc building
of public roads. we can never hope to
have any system by which they can
be secured.
The exercises Of the Fairview
school on Saturday. full program Of
which is given in this connection,
were very much enjoyed by those
who attended. and it was gratifying
to see the interest which the parents
and patrons of this school evidenced
by the close attention which they
gave.
: Professor Ballcntin,e of Little
Mountain, presided and announced
the various subjects.
The picnic dinner which was fur
nishcd was another evidence Of the
prosperity Of the people in this COM
munity and Of the fact that they
olive at home and board at the same
place.
