up splendid enthusiasm and we de-
sire to increase that enthusiasm to
such an extent that ours will be not
only the banner county of the state
but of the whole South.
"The pupils and teachers will join
in the songs The Star Spangled Ban

we trust, if you have time, you will
have the school to practice a little
so that they may join in the refrain
with all teachers and pupils of Sumter
county.

Wherever there are any school
trucks it is our desire that they bring
in those teachers or pupils who have
no other way to come it is important
that the attendance be as great as
possible that all may catch the spirit
of enthusiasm that is regnant in
this county fair.
"This is county holiday that we
want every lover Of learning to join
heartily with us. Respectfully,

"Tndian Summer"

According to William Henry Phyfe's
5000 facts, Indian summer is the early
part of November The name was de-
rived not from the state Of weather.
but from the fact the weather being
mild and balmy the Indians used that
period to harvest their corn and 1t
lasted nine days and came just before
winter set in. This season corresponds
to the DAYS known as "St Martins
summer" in England and the Mediter-
ranean countries, although this season
in the mentioned countries comes in
the fan Just before our Indian summer.
