the virgin forests of this great state.
From the antique to the modern
but step, but what marvels
Workmanship and execution of to-
day await the eye! Into the wo-
mans department of handsome ar
ticIes, homemade preserves and all
good things, one see such an inter-
mingling sof the enchantingly lovely
with the delicacies of cookery that
the mind is overwhelmed with the
stupendousness of the undertaking
of the women of Sumter county,
who gave of their time and atten-
ton to make this feature of the fair
the success it is Upon entering,
one is submerged beneathe the
abundance of cakes, candies, goodies,
cookies, butter, syrups to be
be seen on every side. One case is
filled with cakes so rarely beautiful
that one wonders if it is an art gal
lery instead of the presentation of
just lovely cakes. Upon the snowy
surface of one rests a spray of sweet
peas fashioned of pink and blue icing
to represent fragrant bouquet of
these delicately tinted flowers. An
other has roses entwined upon the
top that vie in beauty with the real
roses which are so attractively dis
played upon the shelves.
Against the walls of this depart
ment are tackled hundreds of ex-
quisite articles of handcraft. Notably
beautiful among this collection are
six point lace handkerchiefs which
are so daintily lovely as to defy. de-
scrption. Filmy and delicate are the
threads used in the making of these
mouchoirs, and they remind one of
some royal princess, roaming
through the rose scented gardens of
a crystal palace.
Beautiful Handwork.
In this department are shown the
greatest abundance of knitted and
crocheted yokes in white and deli
cate colors. Lovely hand embrold-
cred towels are displayed in the most
attractive manner. White and col
ored centerpieces are shown, beau
tifully executed and wonderfully
worked. -.
Rare quilts are displayed in this
department, notable among which
are those fashioned of silk and vel
vet and wool. A velvet quilt shown
secured the first prize offered by
the fair committee in Atlanta. A
tufted satin quilt made of three
cornered bits of satin in various hues
elected great admiration from the
visitors. One dark blue and white
interviewer quilt has been in con-
slant use since the Civil war, re,
tanning the pristine coloring in all
its brightness. os

spots This is one of the real Won
ders of the fair.
A steaming cup of coffee may be
obtained in the booth presided over
by most genial person demonstrat-
ing Maxwell House coffee, And
how good this delicious beverage is
when one has sauntered through the
exhibit rooms and come at last, tired
and all but exhausted, to this pink
and white booth, where cup of
stimulating delicacy is smilingly Of
Tered. Whipped cream, too. And
both free.
Electrical Display.
The electrical display exhibited by
the Mcneil Electric Co., is a thing
of beauty and consequently a joy
forever. Forever, because after see
ing these lovely articles. one is not
satisfied to let all of them remain
in possession of McNeill Co., but ex-
changes positions from the display to
the home. There are floor lamps in
mahogany covered with soft silken
shades, through which is shed an eff
fulgence of light that resembles the
golden sunshine on a perfect June
day There ere dark shades, and
light shades, and rose shades and
blue shades; green shades and white
shades, and many-colored shades, but
all lovely as Imagination and reality
can make them. There are the ia
bic lamps, just as varied as the tall
ones. Besides these things of beau
ty are the articles of utility. Vacuum
cleaners that clean while you wait I;
electric irons, electric grills, electric
percolators, electric waffle irons,
heaters, pads, and everything cleo
trio imaginable, even to the electric
motor driven sewing machines. And
among it all stands Joe Bass smil-
ingly ready to explain any seeming
mysteries connected with the opera
ton of the various articles.
In this same booth, just next, in
deed. is the useful display of office
furniture by the Southern Printers.
File cases in steel or in wood may
be seen, filled with all modern means
of ready filing. There is indeed a
1922 model of cabinet, living just
two years ahead of its time, but there
is all the completed details, with
nothing to be added. Just the last
work in filing cabinets Adding ma
chimes and other modern appliances

played. No office is complete with
out these labor saving devices.
And above and behind it all stand
Joseph Perkins, secretary of the
Chamber Of Commerce, who has
worked months for this hour of tri-
umph, always smiling, always help
full and always tireless in further
efforts at this late hour to add com
fort and pleasure to the visitors, and
John M. France, principal of the
Third District Agricultural and Me-
chancial school, who has lived for the
success of this undertaking. Much
credit is due these two men upon
whose shoulders have rested the bur-
dens of the Sumter county fair so
that the path for the visitors might
be easy and pleasant.

young man who practiced medicine
in a rural district became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DIR. Pierce who afterward moved
to Buffalo, N. Y. He made up his
mind to place some of his medicines
before the public, and he put up
what he called his vFavorite Pre-
scription," and placed it with the
druggists in every state in the Union.
For fifty gears DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has sold more largely
throughout the United States than
any other medicine of like character.
It's the testimony of thousands of
women that it has benefited or en-
tirely eradicated such distressing all

now sold by druggists in tablet form
as well as liquid.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24-Maior General

that the general application of the

Wood as follows:
