Plan Your Exhibits

Now that the political campaign
is over, let all of our people talk
for and work for the county fair.
Through concerted action it can be
made the very best fair yet held.
Begin now to plan your exhibits.
If it's hog, give it an extra ear of
corn each day. If it's mule or
horse, give it little better groom
ing as we'll as extra feed. If it's a
fowl of some kind, give it a little
better treatment for the next month
and It's plumage will wonderfully
improve. We confidently believe
that the average Edgefeld farmer is
above the average farmer In the
State in intelligence and in adopt
ing modern, progressive ideas.
Now let's come together November
l, and 3, and have the BEST
COUNTY FAIR in the State.

Thursday afternoon Mrs. Susan
Hill and Mrs. Wallace G. Tomp.
kins gave reception at their home
on Main street in honor of their
brother, A. L. Brunson, Jr., and
his bride who arrived from New
York Wednesday. As the guests
reached the home they were receiv-
ed by Mrs. D. B. Hollingsworth,
Mrs N. G.. Evans, Mrs. H. A.
Smith and Mrs. G. A. Griffin and
were directed into the parlor where
they were presented to the guests Of
honor. Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Tompkins
and Mrs. Wade Cothran, their sis
ter of Abbeville, were also in the

into the dining room where they
were served with nut ice cream,
cake and mlnts by Mrs. P. M.
Feltham, Mrs. w. D. Allen, Miss
Ouida Pattison, and Miss Grace

a good wife, but If you think Mary
H is the one that suits you, I
believe I will go over this evening
and see Polly Sullivan myself (for
he was then widower). I think If
I can get her she will make me
good wife, but will give you the
first choice"
Uncle Sam said it put him to
thinking, and it wasn't many min
utes before he went out to the lot,
and was not long in getting over
to where Polly Sullivan lived, and
daddy was too late.
After telling the above he then
said beauty is all right, but it takes
something beside beauty to make a
good wife. So uncle Sam married
Polly Sullivan.
Mr.. Editor, I have not written
the above just to be writing. I
wrote it that some possibly who
read it may profit by it, and others
be kept out of divorce suit. Look
before you leap is a good thing to
do, even in taking wife.
Well as to crops, cotton in this
section is not over two-thirds of a
crop at best; | think about three
ffths is nearer the mark.

Card of Thanks.

I wish l could express in words
the gratitude that I feel to the peo-
pie of Edgefeld county for their
splendid support in the election last
week. When it is borne in mind
that this is the first time that l have
ever offered for public Office, the
large vote which l received should
make anyone profoundly grateful
to the people for this manifestation
of confidence, and in return l prom
ise the very best service of which l
am capable. shall endeavor to make
my administration such as no one
who voted for me will havecause to
regret. Again wish to say that |
am profoundly grateful.

Little John Sheppard Minis.

The little son, John Sheppard, of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. L. Minis, which
lacked but a few weeks of being
two years old, died Thursday af-
ternoon of pneumonia, and the SYM
pathy of the entire community has
gone out to them in the hour of
their unspeakable grief. Just as
Jesus gathered the little children
about him as he sat in a Judean
home, so He has taken this dear lit
tie one to his bosom. For what
cause or reason, the finite eye can
not discern, but the All-wise hand
has taken this darling little one,
plucked as a rosebud as the petals
begin to unfold, before it suffered
many ills to which humanity is heir
and before 1t was tarnished by the
things of earth. God gave little
John Sheppard to his fond parents
nearly two short years for some
purpose and while earthly ties have
been severed, yet some time in the
wears to come there shall be re-
union in that heavenly home. An
appropriate service was held in the
home Friday moraing by DR.. Jones
and the little sform was tenderly
placed beneath the sod in the village
cemetery.

to another State, and the thought of
Mary H going away just made
me miserable. So I went to my
daddy (that is what children called
their fathers in those days. and told
him all about how I felt and how
I loved Mary H, and to my
surprise my daddy asked me what
I loved her for" Now catch the
lesson young men and boys. Il
said we'll l just love her, and nv
daddy again said, We'll, Sam, what
is there about her to cause you to
love her. and then he asked me
these questions: Can she cook?'
I don't know, daddy. Can she
milk the cows?' Don't know, dad
dy. Can she wash and iron the
clothes, Sam?' Don't know, daddy.
We'll. Sam, what do you know
about her?' My reply was, know
she is a mighty pretty woman. !
admit, Sam, that she is pretty, but,
Sam, it takes more than beauty in
woman to make man a good wife.
Now, Sam, l want to ask you about
a young woman that you do know
something about-it is Polly Sulli-
van, just over on the other hill
from US. Is she not a good looking
young woman?' Yes, daddy. Can
she cook?' Yes, daddy. Can she
milk the cows?' Yes, daddy. Can
she wash and iron the clothes?' Yes,
daddy. We'll, Sam, there is a
young woman that will make man
