THE FAIR WAS A SUCCESS.
We are glad for the County and for
the managers, as well as for those who
have invested their money in it, that
the Person County Fair was a suc
cess. The crowds were all that could
have been desired, the weather was
ideal, and everybody seemed to enjoy
every day. True, the exhibits were not
up to the usual high standard, but
there are many reasons which could be
given for this, the most important
PERSON COUNTY TO THE FRONT
The time was, and not many years
ago, when one could truthfully refer
to Person county as being " one of the
good counties but very, backward
along most progressive lines, but that
day is a thing of the past. What would
a citizen of Allensville township have
said if, ten years ago, he had been
told that in a few short years they
would have one of the best high school

PROSPERITY, WITH A BIG P
If there is any one more prosperous
than a Person county farmer it is the
Person county woman who has had
a little patch of tobacco all her own
this year. For a long time it has been
an acknowledged fact that but for
the women the churches would have
a hard time to live and many a preach
er would have given up in despair
but for the good women of his con
gregation, and now it is beginning to
look like these same good women are
going to show the men how to really
farm. Take this case: Mrs. R. G.
Slaughter had a little tobacco patch
which she looked after herself. Her
fertilizer bill was $1.85, which, with a
load of stable manure supplied by her
husband, was her only outlay for
cash, and when she sold it here on last
Monday she received a check for
$185.85, which, wise woman that she
is, she deposited with one of the banks.

business women to take our places,

PEACE TALK.
More and more do we see rumors of
peace coming from Germany, though
of course, so far it is all talk. But
the old saying, "where there is so
much smoke there must be a little
fire" and with all of this talk there is
evidently a strong desire on the part
of Germany for peace. There are two
significant reasons for Germany want
ing peace, the first being the fact that
sheis aware of the great preparation
being made by this government to en
ter into the war, and well knows that
when an. army of millions of men
fresh from the training camps enter
that she will have a foe which will
be worthy cf her mettle; and second
ly, the great drive which the Briitsh
under the leadership of General Haig
is making on the western front
shows conclusively that the Germans
are getting by far the worst end of
the drive, and they can not continue
to stand up and take the punishment
which General Haig is giving them.
While the success of the British the
past ten days may not mean a decid
ed victory, it at least shows, plainly
that the British are the superiors in
this great war
Nearly all o u!s severely criticised j
the British because she did not rush
in and lend a helping hand when the
French were being so-severely punish
ed at Verdun, but the British are a
slow moving people, but when once
aroused there is only one nation
which can surpass them the Ameri
cans, of course. Like the balance of
the world they were ill prepared for
this war, and Germany knew that bet
ter even than did England, and she
"had to prepare herself for it, just as
we are today preparing for the great
work which we expect to see our
"Boys do in France. The Kaiser, while
he is alK kinds of a brute, maniac and
