SIIMTER COUNTY
WOULD "SHOW OFF”
Urges Every Farmer to Go
In and Win a Prize
For Himself.
Sumter county has a chance to
“show off.” The state fair in
Macon is to be the largest thing
in it’s line that has ever been
held in the South. Practically
every county in the state will be
represented with exhibits. And
to a large degree the counties are
going to be gudged by their ex
hibits or lack of exhibits.
Sumter county people and the
Times-Recorder believe that this
is the best county in the state.
In fact we know it. But it’s up
to us to prove it to the rest of
the state. We can do it if we
try. Are you willing to do your
share?
Every farmer in the county
should consider it his duty to
send something up as an exhibit.
There will be prizes offered for
every kind of farm product and
Sumter county can carry off her
share of honors.
The county is fast forging
ahead as a factor in the live
stock market. It will help the
movement along if the live stock
men of the county enter their
animals in the contest.
Two experts will attend the
fair as special agents for Sumter
county. David Wicker, superin
tendent of farm demonstration
work in the county, will be on
hand and will look after all farm
produce exhibits for Sumter. J.
L. Glawson, who will carry along
an exhibit of live stock, will per
sonally look after any live stock
that is entered from Sumter.
With these two men on the
ground to care for the entrys
every farmer in the county can
send up something.
You would feel prettv good if
that old mare of your’s were to
carry off the blue ribbon.
Wouldn’t you? You’d feel like
buying the good wife a new dress
if her pickles or cake were to
win the first prize. Wouldn’t
you? If that boy of your’s were
to be declared the champion corn
grower of the state you’d feel
like giving him that colt you’ve
been promising him so long.
Wouldn’t you? In fact you’d
feel like sticking your chest out
and strutting a little if you were
to win something in the big con
test.
Well why don’t you? You can
do it if you try. It’s a cinch
Lou Dillon could not win a prize
at a fair if her owner were to
keep her at home in hjs stable.
How about looking around and
getting things ready. You’ll en
joy it and so will the family. If
you want to enter anything at
all communicate with Roy Wick
er or with Bill Glawson and they
will furnish you with any infor
mation that you desire.—Ameri
cus Times-Recorder.
Already Had Load.
There were few horses left in
the livery stable of a certain mid
dle Jersey town when the local
cavalry company went out for
maneuvers. In fact, a number
of cabmen had gone out of busi
ness for the time being in order
that the cavalrymen might have
mounts.
Trooper Bright was on a steed
which readily captured the prize
for the most gaunt, tired-looking,
and moth-eaten creature ever
seen on a parade ground.
“Say Bright,’’ said a com
panion, after he had recovered
from the first shock, “what is
that you’re on?’’
“That’s a horse,” said Bright
not at all brightly.
“We’ll, I’ll take your word for
it,” replied the other. “Did you
know that he’d cast a shoe?”
“Yep.”
“Why didn’t you stop off at
the garage and get him shod?”
“Would have, but I didn’t
think he could carry more than
three shoes.” —New York Even
ing Post.

Greeley on Farm Life.
I should have been a farmer.
All my riper tastes incline to
that blessed calling whereby the
human family and its humbler
auxiliaries are fed. Its quiet, its
segregation from strife and
brawls and heated rivalries, at
tract and delight me. I hate to
earn my bread in any calling
which complicates my prosperity
in some sort with others’ anver
sity—my success with others’ de
feat. The farmer’s floors may
groan with the weight of his
crops, yet no one else deems
himself the poorer therefor. He
may grow a hundred bushels of
corn or forty of wheat - to every
arable acre without arousing the
jealously or inciting to detrac
tion.
I am content with my lot, and
grateful for the generosity where
with my labors have been re
warded; and yet I say that, were
I now to begin my life anew, I
would choose to earn my bread
by cultivating the soil. Blessed
is he whose day’s exertion ends
with the evening twilight, and
who can sleep unbrokenly and
without anxiety till the dawn
awakes him, with energies
renewed and senses brightened,
to fresh activity and that full
ness of health and vigor which
are vouchsafed to those only who
spend most of their waking
hours in the free, pure air and
renovating sunshine of the open
country.
Worst of Their Offending.
The Sunday-school class at the
kirk had been reading the story
of Joseph and his brethern, and
it was the turn of the visiting
minister to examine the lads,
says the Scottish American. The
replies to his questions were
quick, intelligent and correct.
“What great crime did these
sons of Jacob commit?”
“They sold their brother,
Joseph,” was the reply.
“Quite correct, and for how
much?”
“Twenty pieces o’ siller.”
“Very good. And what added
to the cruelty and wickedness of
these brothers?” No answer.
“What made their treachery even
more detestable and heinous?”
A bright little fellow stretched
out an eager hand. “Well, my
little man?” said the minister,
encouragingly.
“Please, sir, they sellt him
ower cheap!”
Three persons were killed and
twenty others injured in a head
on collision by two electric trains
on the Long Island Railroad at
College Point, L. 1., on Monday
morning.
