Yes, sir, was well pleased" said a
citizen Of the Sharon section as he
was returning from the fair Tuesday.
1T was my first visit to the York
county fair and was pleasantly sur
prised. There is only one objection
that I can see. The York county fair
should be held in Yorkville, the county
seat, instead of Rock Hill.

There were plenty Of lunch stands
on the fair ground and hence there
was plenty to eat. And be it to the

It Can't Be Done

The man who misses all the fun
Is he who says 1T can't be done!"
In solemn pride he stands aloof
And greets each venture with reproof
Had he the power, he'd efface
The history of the human race;
We'd have no steam nor trolley cars.
No streets lit by electric stars;
No telegraph nor telephone,
We'd linger in the age of stone.
Where when some keen barbaric brain
Oflife's conditions dared complain,
And planned wheel on which to roll
The load his arms could not CONTROL
Sneers rose from all the mighty crew
That ever SCOTS at what is new.
The world would sleep if things were run
By men who say: 1t can't be done!"

he may lose, it flies away from him perhaps when
he needs it most. A mans reputation may be sac
riiced in moment of ill considered action. The
people who are prone to fall on their knees to do
US honor when success is with US may be the first
to throw the stone of malice when failure settles
its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely un-
selfish friend that has in this selfish world,
the one who never deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A
mans dog stands by him in prosperity and power
ty, in health and sickness He will sleep on the
cold ground, where the winter winds blow and the
snow drives fercely, if only he may be near his
masters side. He will kiss the hand that has no
food to offer He will lick the wounds and sores
that come in the encounter with the rOughness of
the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper
master if he we're prince. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to pieces he is
slant in his love as the sun in it's Journey through
the heavens; if fortune drives man forth an out.
cast in the world friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks higher privilege than that of
accompanying him, gaurd against danger, to fight
against all his enemies and when the last scene of
all comes, and death takes his master in it's
brace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground
no matter if all other friends pursue their way,
there by the grave side will the NOBLE dog be found
his head between his paws his eyes sad, but open
in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to
death. - Selected.
