Rankin county was awarded
third prize for county exhibit.
We do most gladly and sincere
ly award to Mrs. Watts Webb,
the Rankin county demonstration
in club work. full praise for her
excellent and attractive displays
of useful and domestic canned
goods of numerous kinds, and
beautiful embroidery work on
exhibit at the Florence fair on
the Goth, and gotten up by her
county canning club. We also
appreciate her efforts for the
good of the youths of the coun-
ty in other lines. The fair asso-
citation gladly welcomed her
clubs exhibits and proud to have
her come and show the young
people in Beat One what they
can accomplish under a skilled
Iinstructress. We noticed tackled
upon the wall near her exhibits
three large sheets of paper. The
first was a blue print sketch of
the simplest plan of a kitchen
garden. The second was a blue
print plan for a poultry house
and poultry raising. The third
was a plain sheet dotted over
with pictures of heads and of
bnsts of fat, chubby babies and
very young children. Across
this sheet was scrolled in large
script the following affectionate
warning to loving friends:
Don't kiss US; we are healthy
babies. We don't want your
germs.
When we observed these pa
pers and their designs tackled up
lin full view of the public for
their study we felt that this
noble woman merits unstinted
praise from every parent in the
county for the efforts she is
putting forth to advance domes-
| tic knowledge ard physical health
Ito their rising youths, and we
lregret that so little has been
lspoken or printed to encourage
| her and to cheer her in this most
helpful, laudable and profitable
work. What Mrs. Webb is doing
| in her club work and for santa
ton is not to be so lightly re-
garded. She ought, of a right,
| to be more appreciated than APP
pears upon the surface so far.
| Her labors will prove a blessing
| in days to come.
Rambling about in the agricul-
tural building at the state fair
last week, we found ourself
Isauntering into a booth ascribed
as containing Rankin County
Exhibits" The display was just
splendid and was so admirably
and tastefully arranged that the
exhibit of multitudious articles
captured the eye and the decis-
ion of the Judges, who awarded
the third prize to Rankin county
for county exhibit. Of course
we felt proud of our 'free state. :"
The inspiration for this tasty dis
play and to the winning of third
prize came from the head of a
splendid little woman, Mrs. LAM
bre, of Pearson. This lady was
the only person within the booth
proper, and had full charge. She
was cheerful, obliging and polite
to every one who approached
her for information about Ran
kin county. It became a mys-
terry to us where all those splen-
did vegetables and other prod
ucts of soil and of the home came
from, We heard that West
Rankin proper produced the bulk
of it. Beat One certainly con-
| tributed an attractive share of
this exhibit. Lots from around
Pearson also went into the dis
play. Much credit is due Mrs.
| Lambre for the interest she
showed and the energy she dis
| nfaved in collecting. and that.
