Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiskc. L. S

On last Fridav night the Columbia
Y. NJ. c.. A. boys. camped at Laurel
Fall, assisted by some of the local
talent, gave a very enjoyable min
strel at the Lexington High School
Auditorium: The jokes and songs
were excellent. Perhaps the most
enjoyable feature of the show was
dancing the Scotch Highland fling
and singing by Physical Director
Kadel, of the Y. M. c. A., assisted
by several small boys. They were
in kilties and typical Scotch costume,
and accompanied their dancing by
some beautiful Scotch songs in the
dialect of the country. A large
crowd was in attendance, many
motor parties from Columbia being
in the audience.

Senator Sharpe a Good Farmer.

Senator Sharpe is not only good
law-maker and a good lawyer, but
he is mighty good farmer-one of
the best in the country. People who
have had occasion to visit the Sena-
tors handsome home at Edmund
recently, say that he has the finest
corn in the county; that he has a
ten-acre field that has already been
layed-by and that if. seasons continue
he will:make an average yield of
at least so bushels to the acre. 1t
is also stated that Senator Sharpe
has the finest melons in the country,
and as to this the writer can testify,
for he brought us two of the largest,
the juiciest and the sweetest melons
we have seen in years, for which he
has our appreciative thanks. Sena-
tor Sharpe, generous to a fault,
kind-hearted and true, never for
gets his,friends at the county-seat.
