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.

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.
