story on a nephew OF mine who
lives in Marshall, Mo. His parents
took him TO church the other Sum-
day and gave him seat near the
front OF the house, while they sat
down a few seats nearer the door.
The youngster seemed to be be-
having pretty well and his parents
thought he would take care OF
himseif, SO they became interested
In the sermon and forgot all about
the future statesman.
ain the course of his sermoa the
minister said: "'They tell US that
religion Is good only for women
and children. say to you It Is
good for men, too. Some OF the
most distinguished men In the coun
try have been and are devoted
church men. Religion appealed to
Gladstone, Lincoln, Garfield, Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt and Bryan. Do

Thus is woman, who was last at the
cross and first at the sepulchre" in
the forefront of Christian work. The
closing sermon was preached by Rev.
T. G. Bark'ey of Plains. This sermon
was, indeed, fitting close to the
splendid session of the association. In
forceful and well chosen language tho
preacher discoursed upon the text.
The Spirit of the Man is the Lamp
OF the Lord" We had impressed upon
our minds anew the thought that
Christians are, indeed, "The light OF
the world" and came away determ'n n
ed to Let our light shine before men,
as perhaps it has not done before.
After a spirited contest between
Plains and Hebron churches over the
next place of meeting it was decided
to hold the next session with Hebron
church, Sumter county, about ten
miles southwest of Americus. THIS
church is located in one of the most
prosperous sections of Sumter's Eden
and in the church and community are
some of our finest citizens. This as

COUNTY FAIR
OUGHT NOT TO
BE NEGLECTED.
tom HUDSON GIVES OPINION
OF Value Of Fairs TO the
Counties
(Copyright.)

Mr.. Thomas G. Hudson, former COM
missioner of agriculture, returned to
Americus yesterday from Macon,
where he spent the past week at the
state fair, viewing with pleasure the
agricultural exh bits and livestock, in
With he is especially interested, and
meeting friends from every section OF
the state
"T have always been strong advo-
cate CT the local county fair, as well
as the state fair" said Mr. Hudson yes
erday while giving praise to the ia r
Just ended. 1t is the county fair that
promotes the spirit of friendly rivalry
among tie farmers and develops agri-
cultural interests more than does the
state lair. The county fair is accessi-
BILE to Ill the peop'e, too, and the at
tendance at all these exhibitions is OF
a nat re very gratifying.
Il was in Dublin, Ga, a few days
ago, 9nd was agreeably surprised at
the splendid success of the exhibition,
and at the Unexpectedly large attend
ance. There were a most as many peo-
pie at the Dubl n fair as saw at the
state fair on some davs, and all SEEM
ed to enjoy it. And what is true OF
the Dublin fair is also true of other
county fairs in Georgia this fall. They
serve to bring the people together, and
are trade winners as WE'LL
Mr.. Hudson deplored the fact that
Sumter would not join other progress
sive counties this fall by having a
fair, as was strongly advocated by
the Board of Trade and The Times
Recorder during the summer, when
there was ample time for its success
full arrangement. This fall many Of
the live towns of South Gerogia are
having fairs, and find them not only
occasions of pleasure for the peop'e
attending, but of great profit to the
merchants. The cost is not great, a
tr fle in fact in comparison with the
beneficial results attained for the
community at large.
Americus, in years past, was the
scene of many successful county fairs,
and history could easily be repeated in
this line if the people of Americus and
Sumter county would get together to
that desired end.
