THURSDAY, AUGUST '7, 1919 PRICE FIVE CENTS County Fair is Discussed By Victor Garvin i (By Victor J. Garvin) In a recent article in this paper I discussed the matter of n County Agent or Farm Demonstrator as a iactor which makes for rural progress In a community. This time it is my desire to touch upon what t deem to be one of the greatest and most im portant factors for progress in the life of a people. All of us have a desire to learn more about what is going on in this old world We wish to know how to live better lives, make more money and find the way to happiness and contentment. We learn through in tercourse with others, and reading of the experiences of others who have had an opportunity to ee that which We have not, who have solved or trfed to solve some of the problems which may confront us from time to time. True enough, one can learn 'oy Teading or hearing, but the best of all ways in which to learn is by personal observation. That which we learn in this way is more accurate and also of more use to us. Hence this is a wayjmuch to be desired. Afair is, in this respect, one of the best ways in which to teach people some lesson or lessons, which for their own good they should know. The value of the fair as an education al institution has long been recog nized and of late years more ana more stress has been laid upon it. As long as the race of man exists it is the nature of the beast to want to excel in some way. in olden times, before there was such a thing thought of as a United States, ancient tribes of men fought each other, not so much because of any enmity which existed between them as just for the sake of fighting to show the supe riority of some tribe over another. Ever since man has iived in a naif civilized state and in communities, it lias been his desire to exhibit to others the products of his own han dicraft. How proudly the little child shows to its mother some small mud pie or other article which it has made. Man has not asked any re ward foe this excelling in doing cer tain thiixfa-s. He gels hio reward in theseli-satisfaction which results -from haing done a thing well. As civilization progressed, step by step up xhb ladder of the ages, it became the custom to hold Festivals at which -whole tribes or races would proudly exhibit the' results of their labors. Out of these exhibitions have grown the modern fairs, to which thousands of people throughout our land look forward each year. Tiies-i fairs have reached such a statue of development that both State and Federal aid ali gn en to them. But the fair of to-day means some thing more than just an exhibition. They, are means of interesting a peo ple and keeping them interested in their community and all that goes to make up for its welfare and progress. People in a rural community are al together too apt to neglect the social side of life to such an extent that they (Continued on Supplement) Personnel of The News Force Khily One Change in Personnel of Working, Forces of The News and The French Broad Hustler When there are changes in the management of any institution the -public is naturally interested in the change of the personnel of the work ing force, and there is no exception in the case of THE NEWS.

SCOTT COBURN DIES OF INJURIES RECEIVED IN WRECK OVER SAND PILE Scott Coburn, the 14-year-old son of M..D.

Scott was on his way home from town at night several weeks ago and ran into a sand pile on Fifth avenue which he was not able to see until to late to avoid it and as a result was thrown from his bicycle. He fell on his head and the impact against the paved street knocked him uncon scious. It was recognized at once that his injuries were critical. He was taken to the hospital and was uncon scious for several days. At times he was partially rational and hopes of recovery were held at his best .per - iods.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH PAYS ITS $4,000 DEBT Will Celebrate Freedom From In debtedness Sunday by . Burning1 Notes in the Pulpit; Ladies Work in? for Pipe Organ. Did you ever contract an important debt? Most people and working in stitutions do, but they feel better in receiving a cancelled note than when making the document. That's the case of the First Baptist church, which is going to have a cele bration next Sundav. At toast it wilt observe the payment of ita hiiiiHinr debt of $4,000 contracted about eight years ago. A recent campaign wiped out the debt. T. L. Durham was chairman of the committee and he announced, last Sunday that had been done to complete satisfac tion and the pastor, Dr. E. E. Bo mar, announced that the two cancell ed notes would be burned in the pul pit next Sunday morning. ine next undertaking in sitrht is movement already under way by the mines or tne cnurcn to purchase a pipe organ They had no part in lifting the $4,000 debt and are under taking the purchase of an organ in. their own name. County Welfare Hangs on Salary Commissioners and Board of Educa tion Fail to Get Together on Ap pointment of Welfare Officer. The welfare work in Henderson county, which was carried over from the meeting in July to that in August for adjustment on salary and ex penses, remains suspended. C. Few, Jr., informed the boards of education and commissioners that he could not accept the work at $4 a day. Commissioner Russell announ ced that there were four or five other applicarits for thej position and at that salary aiid therefore the board of commissioners was not in favor of paying more. The members of the board of education in its July session advocated the appointment - of Mr. Few. At the August meeting they urged, higher salary and since the commissioners nhippf-orl on ft,f T?a,, (declined at the rate of $4 a day, further proceedings were not had and the matter remains without the new onicer provided by the legislature. It has been suggested that since Prof. W. S. Shitle holds the office in name( the man to be appointed to be his assistant) it would be well to in crease his salary so as to justify his employment of a clerk and thereby enable him to discharge the additional duties the new office of public we&. fare, would impose upon him. It has been pointed out that since he in his present position as superintendent of schools visits these institutions he would be well qualified to take on the other duties with the heltv of a clerk, and do it at a minimum expense to tne county.
