Autumn in Virginia
BY HELEN McCALEB.

IT was a glorious autumn afternoon,
the last rays of sun lay softly over the
rolling hills. In the West brilliant red
and flaming gold lay set in the pale,
clear blue of the heavens. Far and
wide the golden rod nodded and blink
ed at the sisters, clad in royal purple.
The withered grass rustled under foot,
ana the dry leaves crackeled in the oc-
Casional puffs of wind on the top of
the hills, outlined against the blue sky
were the maple, oak and sweet gum
trees dressed in their gay autumn fin
cry. These were In strong contrast
TO the sedate green, with which the
pines were arrayed Far below tinkled
a tiny brooklet, over its stony bed and
down the winding road came a troop
of merry children loaded with the
trophies OF the fall.

Prince Edward
County School Fair

On the 14tn day Of November, 1918
in the town of Farmvile, Virginia. was
held the first school fair for the
county Of Prince Edward.
The day was ideal and early in the
morning came vehicles laden with
Young America" the pupils of the
public schools of this county. The
crowd continued to pour in and the old
fogies among our town folks even be-
gan to sit UP and take notice"
The greater part of the morning was
spent in getting the children together
for the grand parade, in which $50 pu-
pills, headed by the Farmville Silver
band, participated, and which was said
to be the greatest and most inspiring
spectacle ever witnessed on the streets
of tarmvlle.
After the parade was over, relay
races were run by several Of the coun-
ty schools. followed by d game of foot
ball between the Hampden-S Sidney
Bear Cats and the FarmviIle high
school
During the afternoon the opera
house was open and all the children
wro wished TO had the privilege OF
attending a free four-reeI moving pic
ture show This part of the program
was to n large number Of children the
most enjoyable of all(
The specimens Of school work were
excellent and varied. and all the
schools deserve special mention"
The exhibit hall was we'll filled with
delighted visitors throughout the day
and way into the night
Time and space would fail me to
give the full list of successful exhibit
tors, or to give even bare mention
of every happy event of the day. so /
shall now close. hoping to see another
such day next November, and some
of the V. J. c. cousins in attendance.

By DALLAS DAHL.


Some years ago, In the Briery
ncighhorhood Of the good old county
Of Prince Edward. there lived an old
darkey whose name was Sambo To

an upright life; AZ any rate, II !e ever

Cy, he was shrewd enough to go I'M
suspected
Down on the creek in Sambo's
ueighbOrhood. a farmer had a fine
melon patch. Now, all the world
knows how "conEenial" a negro and
a watermelon are. and I have no
doubt hut that Sambo was often
tempted 10 make love" 10 one or more

Remarkable Missionary Offering.

At a recent denominationtl mission
airy conference of Waynesvtlle. n. G.,
most remarkable missionary offer
ing was made. While one OF the
speakers was delivering the message
of the hour a layman arose and in
terupted with the request that he be
permitted to give $4,000 for the mis-
sionary fund. The sermon was not
continued. The contagion of giving
spread until. including subsequent
meetings, the magnificent sum of
1852. 900 was laid upon the altar of
the church for the work of foreign
missions.

Would Cost About 5000.

1t was explained that the cost would
be about $4,000 year, OF which 81,
600 would go for salary of the expert
and $1,000 for expenses, the expert
to furnish his own automobile. The
expert would be at the call of every
one in the county but would respond
first to the members of the associa.
ton. He would give expert advice on
all crop questions.
The state of Iowa will give $500 to-
ward such a movement; the Burling-
ton railroad will give $780, the Rock
Island will give s1.00 for each mile
of regularly operated track in the
county, the Mississippi River Power
company will give $3.50 The banks
OF TT. Madison have signified their
intention of giving $50 each.
1t is expected to raise $1,000 from
the farmers, asking $3.50 membership
fees, and the rest would be raised In
the towns and cities of the county.
After a permanent organization is
formed solicitors will ask money of
the local business men for the move
ment.
