people of beat one must know that the
fair to be held in their beat is going to
be number affair. What the Fair
Association desires is that everv man and
LADY in the beat feel an enthusiasm for
splendid display of the best vegetables,
fruits, cakes, preserves, jellies, dresses,
quilts, pigs, colts, cattle of all kinds,
horses, tools, ETC., etc., raised, made, and
owned in beat one. Begin to groom your
stock now, and have everything you bring
to the fair in apple pie order. We wish
to. and we must, put our best foot fore-
most in this fair. We want the world to
know that this is desirable section to
dwell in, to be good in, and to make a
tip top living in. Remember that your
exhibit helps others. A fair is educa-
fional. 1t teaches your tardy neighbor
what he can do if he would make an
honest effort. 1t teaches him pride IN
his farm, and other occup ations,a and teaches
what the industrious man or woman can
do to keep up with the procession ct the
day. This is a farmers affair; but yet
the mechanic is not debarred its advan-
tages. The machinery man is welcome to
display his wares in this fair. The mer-
chant can display whatever he feels to
be to the interest of the beat. So let
us study the fair in all its departments
and make it an affair worth talking about.
John Smallwood, Esq, of Laurel,
former citizen of Florence. was hobnob-
bing with old acquaintance here Sat
urday, and every one of his old acqualn-
tances and friends were glad to shake
his clever hand and welcome him to his
old home even for short few hours stay.
Mr.. SmalIwood removed from Florence
twenty-five years ago and felt himself
rejoicing to be here once more. He was
one of the immense delegation OF LaurePs
influential and intelligent citizens to visit
the capital city and urge the claims
of Laurel. before the Board of Trustees
for the location of the teachers normal in
their city. Laurel offered $225,ooo or
$z7s.ooo to get the normal. But the trus-
tees heard all the four or FIVE committees
from different cities upon their respec-
tive claims, and decided to wait till the
10Th before accepting any offer. Mr..
Smallwood, in returning to Laurel. stopped
of to see his MANY friends here.
