Her hugs so gentle, quite,

And on her wishes frown
To make her win me just that way.

Report For Month

es are now only deferred. II we can
get the Fox River people here It will
be worth all our trouble. Our reas-
ons for getting set Of plans for a
small packery is to gradually talk
same up and to get the farmers to
consider same. We believe the time is
not far of when plant of this kind
can successfully be launched here.

OnstratiOn Work.
"The new Legislative delegation for
Anderson county met with us on the
10th inst and agreed 10 have appro-
pi.ation made for the Girls Tomato
Club woI's in this county and also to
secure appropriation of $4,000 for our
county demonstration work. These ap,
preparations ere always made when
the county delegates ask for them. The
Girls Tomato Club work under State
Supe rintendent Parrot is said to be
in thriving condition and to be ac-
cJmplishing great deal.
Clemson Annexation Matter.
THE secretary has an appointment
at Clemson College next Wednesday
with regard to this matter. We do not
believe 1t wise to give the matter pub
licity at this time.
1--WE also shall take up rural tele-
phone matter with Mr.. Spier next
week when he Is here. having ar
ranged conference.
Recommendation.
"The secretary believes that 1t will
be lest during the next few months
to concentrate all energies on secur-
ing grain elevator and county fair
for Anderson. II we can do both of
these things, 1t will necessarily mean
a great deal OF time and attention and
hard WORK. On the elevator PROPOSE
tfon. we have several sets of plans
on hand now and our committee Is
expected to push the matter. It will
depend entirely on the farmers wheth-
Ell or not we can put II over. We do
not underestimate the problem. The
secretary also recommends that plans
be put In motion as soon as possible
for County fair, along modern and
up-to-date lines, for next year. This
can be done on the right basis, and
made to pay, even If we have TO lease
land. These two things, both of which
are badly needed and will be OF great
good, might well be the basis OF sew
eral months work. In addition to
these we have to put on q campaign
shortly, probably In December, for the
first night tickets to the Opera House,
also handle the 1915 chautauqua.. Tho
secretary recommends that q general
meeting OF this body be held some
time shortly, and at such meeting we
discuss and act upon these PROPOSE
tions We should be able to make this
general meeting interesting, having
talk on street paving plans. possible
city msr.,et, etc. Also ideas for the
county fair and talk on the grein sit
uatfon."
