Help the Armenian Sufferers.

An earnest appeal has been made
to America to help the Armenlans
and in order to raise funds for this
very worthy cause the appeal has
been extended all down the line to
each locality and each church. Mr..
Luther G. Watson of Trenton, the
chairman of the Laymen's Mission
ary movement for this county, has
received the appeal and has been
urged to lay it before the people OF
the county. Take a COLLECTION In

should share it with suffering :hu-

The Colored Fair a Success.

The colored fair which was held
here at the fair grounds Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of last
week was distinct success from
every standpoint. There were a
large number of highly creditable
exhibits in every department. The
exhibits in the agricultural build
ing were we'll displayed and pre-.
septed a scene that reflected credit
on the race. The entries in the
livestock and poultry departments
were numerous and of high order.
Another thing to the credit OF
the negro race was the splendid Or
der that prevailed all three days
and also at night upon the grounds.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
attendance mounted up into the
thousands there was no disturbance
or disorder of any kind. The very
excellent manner in which those
who attended the talr deporteo
themselves was a credit to the col
ored race as much as were the
exhibits.
Those who had the responsibility
of managing the coloed fair deserve
credit. All details were carefully
looked after and all financial obll
cations have been promptly met
Considering the fact that these
managers had no previous experl
ence. the success which they mad'
of the undertaking is all the mor
remarkable. We believe that tn
colored people expect to hold an
other fair next fall, and the success
which they made this year Will
make their next fair less difficult.

A large congregation greeted our
pastor at Red Oak Grove last first

of visitors. Among them were Mrs.

was cordially greeted by her friends
and all appreciated having her at
tend our services.
The W. M. S. held their business
meeting yesterday. Collections
were real good, nearly five dollars
being raised for DR.. Derieux for
building at Rock Hill. Don't re-
member exactly the collection for
the Hospital. We are also getting
up shipment for the Orphanage at
Greenwood, several of the ladies
are givingl and working up this
method with encouragement.
1t was made plain why our Socie-
ty was not given credit for contri-
buttons of mattresses to Edisto
Academy, being Red Hill instead
of Red Oak Grove. The mistake
was no fault of our secretary.
Mrs. Eugene Thurmond, Jr., has
charge of our Y. w. AS. now, and
we feel sure they will do we'll. They
are willing band of sweet, pretty
girls and all they needed was good
and regular leader. We antlcl-
pate good work for them. They
meet next Sunday afternoon with
Misses Maggie and elena Agner.
Our school is arranging for an
oyster supper on Friday after
Thanksgiving, which is December
lst. We feel sure that the menu
that will be served to those that
night, who do not care for oysters
will be sufficient to pleaee the most
fastidious, and we solicit good pa:
tronage, endeavoring to make the
levening one of real pleasure, besides
raising funds which are for the BEN
left of our school.
