The Woman'S Club had a most in
tcrestlng meeting on the first Satur-

much that it was impossible for Miss
Minis to meet with Us. The members
participated in lively contest and
Nora Pegucs, Miss June Jones and
Mrs. I. H. Britt.carricd off the prize
some beautiful chrysanthemums
The club will have play and oyster
supper at the school house on Thanks
giving night, for the benefit &c 10
school. Everybody is cordially ..-
vlted to attend.
How nice it would be if the patrons
of the school would hold a mid-weck
prayer meeting at the school house
every week! 1t would be so refresh
ing and would greatly help the com
munity in both spiritual and temporal
work.
Mrs. A. w. Britt has been on the
sick list but is better at this writing.
Little Lila Brown, who has been
very sick, is much improved, we are
glad to learn.
Mr. Pierce Britt, who is in Trinity
College, is so homesick that he SAYS
he is going to stay at home when he
comes home for Christmas HOLIDAYS.
A great many people from this
community attended the County Fair.

Rewards previously offered for the
apprehension of Fuller, were $1OO,
by Sheriff D. P. Douglass and $1OO
by T. M. knight, thus making total
of $500 now offered for the arrest of
the slayer of William Belk.
The Sheriff reports that Fuller was
recently traced to Baltimore, where
some construction work was in prog
ress and hundreds of negroes are en-
ployed. Fuller was there located
and identified by a representative of
Mr.. Douglass. He was pointed out
to the Baltimore police and plans
made for his arrest when he eluded
his would-be captors.

actlVe interest In good chickens.
Some very fine stock was shown,
pigs, cattle, horses and mules, not for
getting the Angora goats, white rab-
bits, 'possums and squirrels.
One of the finest things shown at
! this Fair was the good spirit of the
losers. Where the rivalry was keen
est, the loser, without exception, took
defeat gracefully and vowed to do
better next year.
The carnival company was the best
the Fair Association has so far been
able to secure.
The free shows, high dive, trapeze
act and balloon ascension, were genu-
inc thrillers and all that could be de-
sired. A stiff breeze prevented the
the balloonist from ascending on
Thursday. But he gave excellent ex-
hlbitions on Wednesday and Friday.

MT. CROGHAN COMMUNITY FAIR
BY ALVIN Ratliff

The Community Fair was held al
Mt. Croghan on Friday, Novembe,
Sd. There was much interest taker
in it, and it was splendid for the first
trial
Friday morning about $50 O'Clock
large crowd assembled at the schoo
building, where all the exhibits were
Some of the little girls served re-
freshments in the morning and about
1890 O'Clock oysters and sandwiches
were served.
There were numbers of nice things
on exhibit, especially patch and fancy
work. Some of the patch work had
been made one hundred years. Much
nice canned fruit, pickle, jelly and
preserves was on display, and some OF
the ladies had some splendid cake
pies, waters and biscuit.
The farm products were also very
good. Much interest was taken in
poultry and livestock. Some fine
chickens and quite a number of hors-
es, cows and hogs were on exhibit.
About 2 o'clock DR.. ID. w. Daniels,
of Clemson College, South Carolina,
addressed the people on the subject,
"The Forces that Build Commun-
ity." He gave us much useful in
formation and advice, and | am sure
all who gave him their attention could
not help but appreciate his speech.
While the judges were making
their decisions the athletes from
Ruby were competing with Mt. Crog-
han in the high and broad jumps and
several foot races. These were very
interesting. Ruby won two prizes on
the high jump, while Mt Croghan
won five on the broad jump and foot
races.
The last event of the day was the
basket ball game between Pageland
and Mt. Croghan. Both sides played
hard, but the Mt. Croghan boys were
a little tired as they had been work
ing hard in the athletics, so Pageland
won eight scores and Mt. Croghan six
We were glad to have number of
visitors from other communities who
seemed to take an interest in our fair
and hope to have them with us next
year.
Having a community fair is one of
the best means by which to build up a
community. 1t makes everybody take
more interest in their things. They
try to have something better than
their neighbor. The ones who win
second prize one year will try much
harder for the first the next year
Our fair was a success this year
and next year we hope to have a bet
ter one.
Everybody, take an interest in the
fair. Begin to think about what you
will put on exhibit next time and let's
make our fair the best community
fair in the county.

Chesterfield County Fair Breaks
All Records---Leads In The State

With the opening of the Chester
field County Fair on Nov. 9Th, Ches-
terfield county took her "place in the
sun"
We offer no apology for patting
ourselves on the back. We are proud
of our county, and if old Chesterfield
is not proud of herself she ought to
be. We knew this was some county.
Now everybody knows it.
There were visitors here from Bish-
opville, Kershaw, Lancaster, Ben
nettsville, Clio Monroe, Wadesboro
and Morven and they did not hesi-
tate to pronounce this the best
county fair they had seen. Govern
ment experts, Messrs. Elliott and Ev-
ans, and Mrs. Dora Dee Walker and
Miss Moore all agreed that Chester
field County was surpassed only by
the State Fair and that only in
quantity.
Chesterfield County has demonstrate
ed that she can produce anything un-
! der the sun that is good to eat.
She can do this little better than
most any other section of the coun-
try and much easier.
1t would be difficult to say what
was the most surprisingly good, the
four general farm displays, the COM
munity exhibits, the girls canning
club exhibits or the woman's fancy
work. In all these departments mag
niticent showings were made.
Heretofore Mr.. F. w. Rivers has
taken first prize for best general farm
display without very serious opposi-
ton. This year, though he out-did
himself and had on display 238 diff
ferent items produced on his farm, he
was compelled to take second place,
the blue ribbon and the $25 prize go
ing to Mr.. d. T. Watson. He was
closely followed by Messrs. T. w.
Gaskins and G. L. Moore All four
of these men demonstrated that
a Chesterfield County farmer can live
at home.
Mr.. Gaskins was preaching good
gospel when he picked up handful
of soy beans and velvet beans and re-
marked: "These beans have almost
wiped out my fertilizer bills. l be-
lieve l can soon quit buying any fer
tiliZer at ALL"
The rivalry between the community
fair exhibits was keen and the race
close, Mt. Croghan winning 1st place
over Macedonia by two points, the
count being 90 to 100. Middendorf,
with very creditable showing, came
third. The prizes were $25.OO for
1st; $1,000 for I'd; $500 for Sd.
The work of the girls canning
clubs under Miss Stella Minis direc-
tion, was one of the chief wonders of
the Fair. These clubs have been or
ganized less than one year and the
exhibits excited comparisons with the
State Fair in favor of Chesterfield.
The corn and pig club boys under
Mr.. w. j. Tiller, made very fine show
ings. The progress in the corn clubs
is especially remarkable.
Many people were heard to say
they had never before seen so much
fancy work brought together in one
place. The quality was very high.
The poultry exhibit this year far
surpassed anything ever shown here
before. 1t was a revelation to know
that SO many farmers are taking an

and admiring crowd.
The crowd was estimated at from
three to five hundred Every one was
pleased with the arrangement of the
fair and voted it to be extremely
good, to be gotten up on SO short
notice.
The people went away with the de-
termination of making the next COM
munity fair a grand success.

We were all delighted to see a
number at our services Sunday, who
for several weeks past on account OF
sickness and inclement weather were
numbered with the shut-ins.
The mid-week prayer service con-
Quoted by the Baraca class last week
was we'll attended, and the young
men proved that they know how to
hold communion and fellowship with
God, and how to lead others into the
secret places of the most high. This
week the Philathea class will have
charge. Next week the Ladies Guild
will lead the service.
The Epworth League Sunday even
ing was a continued evidence OF the
value of our young peoples society.
On account of the repairs that are be-
ing made in the basement OF the
church we had to meet in the audi
forum. The attendance, however,
was such that we did not feel lost,
and the service carried us all into
the mountain top for an hour. Young
people it is a good place to spend
your Sunday evenings.
Let the congregation remember
that we have set the time for our re-
vival services to begin on the first
Sunday in April. The time is draw
ing apace. Let all who are really de-
sirOus for the showers of blessings
remember to read the eighteenth
chapter of the first book of Kings and
to exemplify Elijah in both faith and
prayer.
