How About .It7
Dear Eroch:

bCoE
Some one has said, "It's alright to-
trust 10 providence if you have done
your derndest on your own hook"
You folks could have fair If you
did your darndest. You remind me
very much Of the timid young man
who wanted to kiss his girl. He
reached out as If to take hold Of her;
she eladed his grasp. He made an
other feeble attempt; again she elud-
cd him. Once more he feebly tried
it and she had no trouble in escap-
ing. This time she became indignant.
What 'io you mean, sir, by thus trying
to kiss me-" she exclaimed. I'LL"
he hcsitated, "I-meant to-kiss
YOU" She drew herself up proudly,
then stepped near him and gazed
down on him defiantly, and harshly
said, "Then why in the name Of COM
mon sense don't you do it,"
Just little will power needed.
You might be benefited by the sug-
gestion found in this old joke.
When our daddies went courting
they sa. on one side Of the room
while the young lady occupied the 9TH
er side, and the old folks hung around
the fireplace, an old clock on the man.
tie said, "Take-your-time; take-your.
time" Nowadays the old folks keer
out of the way, and the young ones
find seat small enough for two
while little noveytl clock sings
"Get together; get together" That's
what Union folks need to do-get TO-
gether; get together.
Get the cooperation of your loca
papers; they will be "delighted", US.
ing the expression of noted Amer
lean; and by tEe way, have you paic
up your subscription to your loca
papers? Remember Enoch, they have
as hard time trying to make end,
meet as the rest of us, and they worl
day ana night. For what? The com
munity and its welfare, and let mt
tell you, they work mighty cheap. G
declare to gracious the editor didn'
know I was going to say that).
! But getting back to the probability
of having a fair after the Gips!
! Smith meeting, must say Enoch, i
your community needs inspiration
You might borrow some from the Pau
line neighborhood; look what they die
the other day in the way of fora
fair. They laid down all petty jeal
! ousies, if it ever existed, and wen
! in to the proposition with enthusiasm
! and never even stopped to wonder il
/ that committee was going to give ole
! Miss So and So a blue ribbon; no
sir; they got together and went after
it, whole souled, and I for one take
eff my hat to their spirit of coopera
tion.
Some time back received tht
premium list Of the Pee Dee fair al
! Florence: you know, E,.och, when VIZ
were boys, us hill billies used to think
down in that sand country fellow
! would starve TO death, but let me tel
you, those folks know how to hustle
and get together, Notwithstanding the
fact that they have been severely hit
by the boil weevil; they have pullec
; eff an excellent fair.
. Gastonia Poultry Fair opened or
the 10th and Judging by their prem.
ium list, it was no crude affair.
am not particularly cranky about
fairs, Enoch, but what am trying tc
drill in your noggin is the spirit OF
cooperation, getting together and get.
ting acquainted, anything to bring
this about, let it be fair or pindel
parching, it makes little difference.
There are thousand and one
things lacking attention in your coun.
ty, and if you could get a movement
! organized whereby the citizens eoulc
get together and pull, old Union
would te known beyond her borde,
for her thrift and intellectually.
Thanking you for your good hlmor-
ed indulgence in my frankness, I re-
main, Your old friend,
