Great W.N.C. Fair
We urge our Farm
ers to Attend and
Make an Exhibit
of y our Live
Stock Dairy and
Farm Products.
With the several township and
county fairs in this section and
the Western North Carolina Fair
only a few weeks off, the officers
of these organizations are urging
the farmers, stockraisers, fruit
growers, educational instructors
and all others interested in the
progress and development of this
country to prepare their choicest
exhibits for the fairs in which
they are interested.
Township and county fairs
will be held in various places
previous to one Western North
Carolina Fair, which will take
place in Asheville, October 7-10,
inclusive, and prospective exhi
bitors are advised to exercise
great care in the preparation of
exhibits so that they may be ad
vantageouslsy displayed at the
township, county and Western
North Carolina Fair, and if desir
ed later make shipment to Ral
eigh for the great state fair on
October 26-25. ' It is announced
that the Southern Railway will
return exhibits from the Western
North Carolina Fair 'free of
charge.
Reports from various sections
throughout the fair zone are to
the . effect that prospects were
never brighter for a splendid and
representative collection ' of ex
hibits and the 'fair officers are
very anxious, that large; displays
be made, thereby " showing the
public pride of the exhibitors and
demonstrating t h e wonderful
progress and unlimited possibili
ties of Western North Carolina.
Fruit crops are short and indi
cations are that there will not be
the usual display but growers
are urged to exhibit the best
they have , and in order to en
courage fruit growing and'prop
erty packing the Western North
Carolina Fair is offering free in

Twilight.
The twilght is the most beauti
ful hour of the day. It lacks, to
some degree, the awe-inspiring
splendor of the dawn, but the
calm beauty of twilight's more
loved by men. The dawn has a
tenseness about it, as though
were the hour to prepare for the
day's long battle. But the twi
light is the hour after battle
men, if victorious, we can re
joice, if defeated, rest. It is the
hour in the day when we can for
get the trivial vexations, the
toil, the suffering, the long, hot
hours, the heartaches and the
pain.
The twilight is the hour of
memory. It is then that we look
back over the wasted years to
golden hours that have gone
Old faces rise before us, and
those who have long been gone,
we see again. Down the long
line of yester years some days
stand out golden, upon which we
almost wish the hand of time had
stopped. '
The twilight is the hour of
hope, for it is nor long from the
twilight to the morrow.. May
not the wrongs we did to-day be
atoned for on the morrow. Tho'
we were hard pressed in' the
fight to-day, tomorrow tho victo
ry will be ours. It may be that
the future will be less hard to
bear, for who knows what awaits
us? The many little things that
vexed us to-day will be forgotten
tomorrow. And so, with faces
toward the future, in the twi
light we dream.
And it is the hour of home com
ing. In the twilight the farmer
comes hack in the gloaming over
the fertile fields. The laborer
returns to his humble home well
content, It is in the hour of twi
light, that the wanderer, who's
journeyed far, . thinks of homo.
The long bitter years and the
tears are forgotten in the hour
of twilight. Ex '

WAR.
War is a grim skeleton, who
stalks through the hours of mid
night, lighting it with its ruthles
torch. His companins are pesti
lence, Rapine, Distruction and
Disease. He disguises in the
uniform of the nations and mar
ches in splendid pageantry to
the tune of stirring battle songs.
But out upon the blood-wet bat
tle fields where he is a rotten
corpse. In his trail by the red
glare of burning homes we find,
splendid harvests ruined before
their prime, wrecked happiness,
sorrow, bitterness ' and despair.
He drinks the red blood of youth
and laughs in bitter scorn at the
burring tears shed ' for strong
men, dead long befot-e their
prime.
War's the most terrible scourge
ever loosed upon the human race.
And war has no defense. He
has never answered his accusers
and told them why he has caused
such woe. There is no answer
he could make. He.has bourden-
ed generation with a debt, that
had the money been spent for
education instead, would have
given every boy and girl an edu
cation equivalent to a college
course, and there would be left
over enough to educate a few
score generations in the future.
It is out upon the torn battle
fields that war finds bis strong
est accusers. Here after the bat
tie, by the flickering torch light, v
we find, the dead and ' dying-
mute' sacrifice -to. an insatiate.. -
and blood-thirsty god. Why are
these men dead before their
prime? And the war god . an
swers; ihey diea for the non
or of their country.". The world
or centuries has believed this
fallacious answer. But does the
ruthless sacrifice of thousands of
its best men prove a : country's
honor? Does the nation' most in
the right always win? Is it not .
a rather huge gamble, the nation
which is strengest in men and re
sources eventually winning. .
The wprld is slowly . turning
from the false ideals, some of
which it has believed for centu
ries. Gradually, but surely, a
new dawn is breaking. The
dawn which proceeds the day
which shall be rich with, that
which the angels sung to the Ju-.
dean Shepherds three thousand
weary years ago a day of peace
and goodwill. Sel. . . , .
