onmmittees of departments are
charged -with the holding- of
these various fairs. It will be
for the judges and attending
nublic to say which of the various
townships can put up the best
fair. There will be prospective
nurchasers of land at these fairs
to ascertain where the best corn,
apples, sweet potatoes, Irish po
tatoes, poultry etc. are grown m
Polk county. Besides all the
benefits to be derived from mak
ing a good fair. What township
wants to be the laggard, town
ship in the county? Any of the
six townships in the county,
might have the best fair. The
one that makes the greatest ef-
fort, in an intelligent Way, will
have the best fair. . Now come
along boys and girls -and .show,
the grit of your ancestors. Every
body take notice! Daddy Slaugh
ter in Saluda township is' presi
dent of the fair up on the" moun
tain, and has declared -war on
the low landers. Ed. T. Thomp
son of Friendship and Father
Bradley of Green River Cove are
giving Daddy Slaughter such
loyal backing that Saluda will
probably have a walk-over unless
the other townships'" get . busy.
The ladies up there are also on
the war-path. They expect, as
usual to walk off with the cake
from their men; but the men
have served notice that their part
of the fair this year shall surpass
anything their women can do;
regardless of any effort they may
make. Let the men everywhere
see if they can excel their wo
men this year: but let the wo
men see to it; as previously that
they, shall not.
An Original Story

Captain Sol, as he was called,
was an old bachelor who had
retired to East Harris not less
than five years ago. - He had
been a captain on a fishing
sehooner, but now lived in a lit
tle two-roomed house by the sea
shore. He loved his chickens as
old maid loves her nine cats.
Wing some of the chickings
&ne, he was worried. He had
bunted them twice when -he
ent out to feed them, and three
re missing. He remained up
a" the next night and -found the
cken theif was a wildcat.
ihe next morning he bought a
We piece of meat, a large fish-hook
and a heavy . rope.
ln mght he fastened the meat
the hook on the rope,, and
Jd it in the chicken oop

Sneezing Once Presaged Death.
In the ancient word , sneezing was
the 'subject of much superstition, and
was' almost always endowed with
sinister Import. Jewish folklore has it
that in the first ages of the world
sneering was always a presage of
death until the coming of Jacob. That
astute patriarch, anxious lest he hln
self should perish fmra such au in
significant cause, ' besought the Al
mighty to endow sneezing with more
beneficent attributes, ! and since then
it has been lucky to sneeze between
noon and midnight- j , . .
