secured addresses from Mr.. j. I'll.
Courtney, of Trenton, and Prof.
Mellichamp, Principal of the Red
Hill school. Mr.. Courtney's ad,
dress was on modern methods of il,
lustratlng the topic of the lesson.
He did this by using object illus,
trations of the lesson for the day,
giving altogether an entertaining
and instructive address.
Prof. Melllchamp spoke on the
value of faithfulness and regularity
in the discharge of dutv, showing
that these qualities were of para

ing of good Sunday School. His
remarks were thoughtful, practical,
and timely; and while disclaiming
any ability as speaker he showed
himself no mean hand at the art.
The sermon for the morning hour
was by Rev. j. T. Littlejohn, from
the text, How can two walk to-

subject was Progressiveness in

necessity of unity among the work

Very Successful Union Meeting.
Good Attendance. Good
Speeches. Grist Mill
and Ginnery.
Written for last week

The event toward which our COM
munity has been looking forward
for some time has come and gone.
That is the Union meeting. Every
thing conspired to make this an ex-
reedingly enjoyable occasion. The
weather and the seasons play very
important part in our enjoyment,
and the success of our plans. l1
these respects we were fortunate,
for October, always beautiful, was
never more gracious and smiling
than on the opening day, and gracs
ed our meeting in her lovely dress
of green, and crimson, and gold.
This earth is so beautiful sometimes
that it is good to be alive, just to
look at it. We sometimes wonder
if Heaven could. possibly be more

On Saturday, there was not
large crowd, but there were some
choice spirits among those HhIec
were there. All of the delegates
did not come, nor were all of the
speakers present; nevertheless, tue
program was carried out in full,
and all of the suggested topics we're
discussed in interesting and instrue,
tive speeches. Those who spoke
were, Revs. J. T. Littlejohn, 2. 3,

COUNTY FAIR.
Large Attendance. Creditable
Exhibits. Gcod Address by
Col. Watson. Three Beau
tiful Parades.

Owing to the financial depression
resulting from the war in Europe
the members of the Edgefeld Coun-
ty Fair Association made no effort
to hold fair in the falls of 1914
and 1915. But during the past
summer, after tie return of prosper
ity was evidenced on every hand,
he managers decided to hold fair
this fall, November l, 2, being
selected for the dates. As soon as
Major P. S. Anderson returned
from Washington early in October,
he threw himself unreservedly into
the enterprise and contributed very
largely to the success of the fair.
At first, he directed his attention
toward putting the buildings and
grounds in 6rst-class condition, and
as the date for the fair approached
and during the fair he looked after
many details, altogether contribut-
ing large measure of valuable ser
vice.
The weather last week was ideal
and the occasion was in some res
poets ideal. Some of the depart
msnts were particularly strong, not
ably the stock department. Some
of the horses, mules and colts
would have done credit to any fair
IN the country. Many persons were
surprised that there was so much
fine stock in the county. This in
creased attention to stock raising is
one of the results of the fairs that
have been held in the past. Some
of the other departments were very
good, the weakest being the agri-
cultural or field crops department
Some of the few exhibits were very
fine, but there should have been ten
times the number. The appearance
of this department was reflection
on the farmers of Edgetield county
ON those who took no interest and
made no exhibits.

Our time is important, every mo-

should parents neglect then to i'm

their life is not theirs to idle away,
their task will grow more difficult
as the years 60 be. Oh! what might
we expect. if we should raise our

no State Fair has ever exhibited
better. The fair not only afforded
sight seeing, but the meeting up
with so many friends and relatives
made it doubly pleasant. Several
of the judges in the various depart

courtesy was sincerely appreciated.
We hope for another fair next year
and Johnston should be there with
more floats, and especially one from
her excellent school.
Mrs. Harrison Scott died at her

years she has been in frau health,
but was able to be about with her
friends. and her sudden passing

friends, and every one is grleved

She was a consecrated Christian
woman. and the example of her life
is one for emulation. She was
loyal member of the NJ. E. Church;
she was true TO the cause OF Christ,
true to her friends, and true to all
that was good.
