-very since she graduated from
Reynolds school last spring.
t'ield take all of the blue ribbons,
but instead arranged a wonder
ful display of the work they had
been doing in the home along the
line of canning and preserving
fruits and vegetables. The flowers
that were shown also gave much
credit to the ladies of the com
munity. One would have to go a
long way to find an exhibit of
needle work that would surpass
the one at the Sandy Ridge fair.
The fair this fall has served
to stimulate much interest and
the people of the Sandy Ridge
Community are planning now to
hold a bigger and better fair next
year. We hope that many of the
other communities in this
County will catch some of .the
enthusiasm from the people of
Sandy Ridge and start working
toward a community fair for
another year.

Youngs School News
Improvements have been made
on the school grounds by clearing
out a part of the wood, which id
being used for fuel, a saving in
expense as well as adding a good
appearance to the grounds. The
boys are not bothered much now
in hunting the ball which has
been knocked into the woods. We
have a splendid group of boys
for a baseball team. Some large,
light rubber balls have been
bought and games of dodge ball
and relays give all the pupils a
chance for games which are
watched or supervised by one or
both the teachers.
A good time at the Pie Supper
has come and gone and a very
satisfactory income was the re
sult. Mrs. J. B. Young furnished
the cake for the voting contest
for the prettiest girl in the
school community. Miss Ola Oak
ley was the happy but not vain
recipient of the most votes and
gracefully cut the cake and gave
some to those who voted, save
one-
Miss Ludia Wood gave the cake
for the Guessing Contest. The
guessings were many and some
curious. Finally Gordon Wood
guessed *ut," which won
the contest. Both cakes were
fine specimens of good cooking.
Another guessing contest was
involved the number of beans in
a pound of pintos. Several wild
and close guesses were made and
Mrs. Byrd Oakley was the win
ner. A lively vote was taken on
who was the ugliest man present.
There were several candidates
but in spite of all Mr. Dude Wood
was the happy winner, but hii
wife doesn't believe it is true.
Many girls and young ladies
contributed their pies and the
highest bidder was the eater,
sharing with the who bake.i
the pie. All the pies looked good
and not considering ihe late
hour, the eating was as good jf
not better than tne looks.
The boys will soon receive a
new ball and bat for their
games. A suppy of new son*'
books are now ready for use and
other things will be bought for
the school as needs require. The
teachers duly appreciate every
interest shown by all those who
helped from the smallest to the
largest amount, even some of the
best wishes, if known.
