A Distinct Loss.

South Carolina suffered a dis
tinct loss in the shelving of
w. w. Lewis of Yorkville,
colonel of the First Regiment
National Guard. That Col.
Lewis is an able man is proved
in ample manner by his success
in life; that he is a pure man is
attested by his neighbors; that
he is an active man is shown by
the fact that he is chairman of
the board of visitors or trustees
of the Citadel. 1t was a sur
prise to his friends that Col.
Lewis ever gave up so much of
his time to a service in which
appreciation is not a characteris-
tic. Columbia Record.

PLEASANT VALLEY CLUB
TO HOLD FLOWER SHOW
(Contributed.)

(Contributed.)
The monthly meeting of the
Home Makers club and School
Improvement society of Pleasant
Valley was held several days ago
at the home of Mrs. J. 2. Bales,
and, as usual, much interest was
manifest. AS spring has arrived,
the Improvement ladies are be-
coming deeply interested in their
flowers, being encouraged by the
interest taken and pleasure de-
rived from their flower show last
year. This year the ladies have
resolved to attempt one on a
larger scale. Many preparations
are being made for the fair to be
held the coming fall. The ladies'
are striving to arouse interest
among the young people of the
community and to make home
life more pleasant. They have
arranged a list of exhibits which
promise to be interesting. Each
piece of work must be the work
of the exhibitor and must be
made in 1915. Everyone, and
especially the boys and girls, are
urged to compete. We think
that we should encourage the
boy to do this by seeing that he
has a piece of land all his own.
Also to allow the boys and girls
to have chickens and help them
to secure pure bred stock; that
we organize a sewing club for
the girls and appoint some lady
to instruct them in sewing; that
each lady be a committe of one
to plan and help make the Pleas
ant Valley fair a success.
Following is a list of exhibits
for the fair:

Best chrysanthemum. gerani-
um, fern, dahlia and rose, from
this years plants.
The greatest improvements to
yards.

grant more favored treatment to the
Roumanian population of Transylvan MIA
