The supreme chal lenge that comes to the youth today Is the same challenge that has faced hlth through the agee?Ahat challenge for service fn my mind there Is no greater place for service in all the world than la the Sunday School, for here we are eomtag in contact with all classes and all ages. Some ot the world's' greatest men have cred ited the Sunday School for their ear ly Inspirations In life, and truly many a map has found his life's calling in the Sunday School. We trust that the various churches will not be negligent In the selection of their delegates and the arrange ment of their reports, but when the roll is called let each church be rep resented with its repoflt. The program for the day is Unusu al ; we expect to have present some of our Wake Forest talent both in oratory and in music,' Not only that, but two outstanding addresses wl|l be delivered by Mr. Hill Yarborougn, of Loulsburg, andi Rev.

Franklin County Fair Draws Big Crowds AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS BEST IN HISTORYUF ASSOCIATION Live Stock Exhibits Show Much Progress in County Other Exhibits of High Order And Admired?School Parade Hampered By Rain But Makes Good Showing Big Midway and Splendid Fireworks?Balloon Ascen sions Attracting Much At tention With the biggest, best and most at ti actively arranged exhibitor farm products, a big midway and many concessions Frankln County Fair got underway Tuesday with a good crowd in attendance. Among the many special attractions this season are the balloon ascension and fireworks dai ly, with. the . added thrills of the .cnn.-_ cessions, shows and rides. Wednesday was school day and in 8k? the rain a large number of children were present and a parade headed^ by the Moose brass band of Raleigh and followed by the Boy a?d Battery :-B- a parade sis c.ty blocks long was given from the intersection of Church and, Nash btreets to Main'then up Main to Col lege thence to the Fair Ground* The reather being so very unfavorable in the morning only a small portion of the children arrived in time to^enteF the parade but came later and swel led the number attending to probably ?five or six thousands. .Thursday was designated as -cattle day and observed with a big parade and a balloon ascension and was largely attended. The cattle and hogs tins year being of an especial ly high order and shows a big.im provement over former years, indica t ng a healthy interest in improved live stock in Franklin County. The Franklin County Fair is pri marily an agricultural fair. This year the agricultural exhibits greatly exceeded and excelled anything be fore in the history of the association. The splendid condition of the exhi bits, their selection and arrangement were especially attractive and pleas ing. While all the exhibits were fine and deserve special credit, the out standing one was the combined ex hibit of the Vocational Departments of Edward Best, Gold Sand and Bunn High Schools, in which the boys work and the girls work were displayed in small booths jointly. These displays represented the projects of the boys and girls in their school work anU were especially creditable. In the Edward Best exhibits the following boys and girls took part: Ruby May and Willis Collie; Mildred Bobbin and Clarence Vlck; Mary Johnson and Rnssell Bunn; Nell Stallings and Bra* Strickland; EUt?e Svkes and J. C. Bunn; Christine Bowden and Jasper Wester; Placid Hayes and Newell Smith. In the Gold Sand were Maude Pernell and Thufman Griffin; Ruth Evans and Perry Conn; Eufie Lee Cole and Astor Parrlsh; Pattie Ruth Moore and Maurice Wester; Ir ma Gupton and Eddie Joyner. Bunn ?nly had three boys entering Bruce White, Lin wood Mullen and Earle Richardson. Ths display was unique. It was novel,. The only time one of Its kind having been presented In the a J? . . . . _ State, according to Stale officials who have seen about all the fairs. The next in importance was the splendid complete farm exhibits pre sented by H. F. Mitchell and Sons, P. R. Inscoe, and J. D. Newman and Son. These exhibits gave a clear idea of what can be done on a farm In Franklin County and with such farming the variations in prices of raw material matters little. The lat ter was awarded first prize. The egg exhibit put on by the Ce dar Rock-Cypress Creek Poultry As sociation wag interesting and instruc tive as was also the Joint exhibit of the foujr Vocational Departments In the County. Leaving the agricultural exhibits ones fancy was attracted by the ex cellence and fine taste of ths school exhibits, which gave evidence of the fine work beiug done In the schools lu the County. By these features children are being taught the prac tical education as nil as the techni cal. Each exhibtfJpave evidence of Individuality aad^Kich work, care and skill, mitgevllle High was awarded, drat prtia, and Epsom sec ond priaa Tha* seeking beauty were eatls "U1??,1bdy reached the flower boot* Thla? display was lovely. Jt wlhr* thanpretty. The perfect j arrangement gave a most wonderful color scheme that demanded admira tion. The pantry supplies and Home Eco nomics departments made one's mouth water and were more than fine. But v. hy try to describe when it takes a visit to appreciate it?or better still a banquet. The paintings, fine arts and needle works departments were splendid but Si Dowe our special correspondent has told yt>u about these. We ad mired them as did all the others who passed. The exhibit of the Colored schools was especially creditable. To those who' have noticed this booth from year to year . were especially well pleased at the great advancement made by the Colored teachers and pu pils. The work in all branches was very creditable. The schools partic ipating wer e Lou if burg Graded School, Mission School, Cross Roads School, Walnut grove School -and Eagle Rock- School. Owing to so few children in line the Judges failed to award prizes for the schools In parade. The big midway is proving espec ially popular and many are enjoying the many games, plays and rides, as well as fortunes. Tomorrow will be turned over to the Colored population and H Is predict ed a record breaking crowd will be In attendance. As a whole this is the most success ful fair of the Association and Dr. A. H. Fleming.?Secretary is to be commended for the great efforts he has put forth to bring to the atten tion of our people the Agricultural possibilities and progress of the County. SEVERALCON VUTWNS Y.
