There is tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on
to fortune"
Webster Literary society of Franklin
college was the freshet upon which
Rose Melville started on her cruise to
the land of Bon Bon. the fairy land
OF fame and fortune.
Franklin college is an educational in
stitution which is located at Franklin.
Ind Attending school at Franklin,
which was a pioneer coed school, was
q slip OF girl named Smock, who
signed up in the registrars office from
Terre Haute, pronounced "Terrie Hut"
west OF the Wabash She was the
daughter of the Rev. Mr.. SmOck, a
Baptist minister at Terre Haute, and
she had come 10 Franklin to get her
share of the higher education offered
at the Hoosier school.
"Just Acts NATURAL
Miss Smock was as verdant a fresh
man as ever enrolled for the spring
term teaching course Of any Indiana
college. She knew what she knew,
also what she did not know, and she
won a home with the Webster Lit"
by her unaffected manner and droIl
way.
When the literary society would hold
its meetings on Saturday evening after

that funny Smock girl would keep the
members giggling all through the dis

Just act natural, Rose and you viii

girl said
First Appearance a Hit.
From behind the curtain, which had
been improvised from boarding house
bedspread the daughter of the Baptist
minister from -Terrie Hut" appeared
apparently 50 i'll at ease that. her EN-
barrassment was contagious. Her hair
mussed, and one foot turned toward
the south while the other pointed
northeast, Miss Smock began a line of
nonsensical patter, much of which was
made up as she went along" as the
HOosiers say She twisted the corner
OF her apron ike an embarrassed
school boy saying a speech, but she
soon had the audience tittering. then

Nigh School TO Move.

The High School will be moved into the
new building the first of next week.
The contractor thought that it would be
possible to move to-day but unavoidable
delay has prevented it.
The school building presents a neat ap-
p%carancc from without, and within the
rooms arc well lighted and ventilated and
in every way well fitted for school rooms.
There are several defects in the building
which are being removed.
The rooms will be fitted with slate black
boards Instead OF the old chalk boards.
This is one improvement the trustees
should inauguratc at the Graded School.
Hylo plate boards are in use there now
and chalk is used on them. Chalk is a
nuisance. 1t makes dust. 1t chaps
hands. II carries bugs.
Many pupils cannot stand to touch chalk
and when they have handled il must I'M
mrdiatrIy buthc their hands. 1t makes
their flesh crawl as they say.
Slate costs more but it lasts longer.
It costs more Int is more sanitary. 1t
costs more but is so much better az n

Fair For AbbeyiIIe.

Abbeville will not be behind in the
matter of a county fair this Fall. A Fair
Association has been formed and officers
elected as follows:
Years ago the Abbeville Fair was an
|event of importance, The present man
Iagement purpose to make it so again.
Sometime before the State Fair is held
in Columbia, Abbeville will hold her Fair,
so that those making exhibits here will be
able to Immediately ship these exhibits to
Columbia.
If you make fine wheat this year save an
exhibit of it for the fair next fall. If you
make fine oats reserve an exhibit for the
fair. If you possess live stock which are
above the average bring them up to the
fair. If the madam has canned. fruit
which looks like a prize winner bring ii up
to the fair and put it on exhibition. II
you have any thing which you think worth
a prize put it on exhibition at Abbeville's
Fall fair.
Last fall there were only two exhibits to
be noticed at the State Fair from Able
vile, such a meagre representation or
Abbeville county, the best county in the
State ought not to be. 1t is true the cX-
hibit from Abheville took a blue ribbon
but there should have been scores of them
to take blue ribbons.
We need a fair and it is encouraging to
see that the prospects are so bright for a
live fair this fall.
Those who have the matter in charge
expect and should receive all the help and
encouragement you car give them.
Lend your countcnauce to this good
work and encourage others to do the same.
Some of the ways in which a good Ave
county fair would help is as follows:
Representation at the State Fair.
Increased interest in the production of
excellent farm products.
Anew impetus to our animal industry.
Renewed interest in poultry raising.
Something to attend in the fall.
Recognition for superior farm products
ETC. that deserve recognition.
