Qe-r ^ SOME FA I It seems to be unanimous that this was the best fair yet. Visitors to the Fair from adjoining counties, expressed themselves as well pleased with the fair. Mr. R. L. Simmons, the poultry judge, says the Abbeville fair was a shade better than the Charlotte (N. C.) fair. TV.** la/lioe r\f tha ttantiut rhliroh I UU 1UU1\,0 VI iMV V served a real dinner for 25 cents. Visitors to the fair who came from nearby points were heard to remark that cotton was bringing more in Ab beville than in their home markets. In some cases our market was said to as much as an eighth of a cent high er. Looking at the splendid exhibits of farm and garden products, one found it hard to believe that this was not a good crop year. Speaking of garden products we failed to nete an exhibit of celery from the garden of Mrs. Minshall. Our efficient postmistress has an ex ceedingly promising crop of this de lightrul relisn wnicn snouiu nei uer a handsome return for the time and money spent. At the present writing it is in a most flourishing condition, evidencing painstaking and intelligent cultivation. The display of colts on Wednesday was one of the features of the Fair. The Blue Grass State?the home of good stock?would have been proud of such a collection of fine animals. An interesting exhibit was a collec tion of curios from the Philippine Is lands. The collection contained sev eral Filipino hats, some weapons of war, including machetes, bolos, dag gers, one kris and others. One of the bolos was marked with three notches, to indicate the toll of human life which was due it. Mrs. W. R. Bradley was the exhibitor. A reminder of the olden days was the spinning wheel on exhibition in the curios department. The display of wheat and home made flour as well as several fine hams and other good things reminded i an old gentleman of the time when everybody lived at home. This was be fore the advent of the railroad, when Hamburg was the nearest market, and i tha trin tlioro nnri hiir?V renilirpd a week's time. If there is any product of the tem perate zone that can not be .produced ! in the highest state of perfection on < the soil of old Abbeville it would be hard to imagine it after looking over the exhibits. Abbeville county is rich in mineral J resources, but there was no exhibit at the county fair. Capt. G. N. Nickles lives at home and boards at the same place if one is to judge by the array of good things which his exhibit contained. Truly a land flowing with milk and honey must surround the Captain. We sus pect it was the good wife who planned a good part of his exhibit. The pecans which were a part of Mr. Eb. Hughes' display, were as fine as the writer has ever seen. Mr. Fos ter Hammond has planted these nuts on his place. He hopes that by the time he is ready to gather the first harvest from them, he will have some one to enjoy them with him.

When it comes to roses Abbeville can beat the world. A lovely vase ex hibited at the Fair by Mrs. L. O. Rob inson, of Antreville, were perfect be yond description. Mrs. Robinson alBo exhibited some rare specimens of yellow chrysanthe' mums. Mrs. J. L. McMillan's exhibition of ferns was well worth seeing. The collection of pot plants exhib ited by Mrs. W. W. Bradley was no table. Mrs. D. A. Dewey rendered good service in the poultry department. Mrs. Dewey knows enough about poul try to make a book, and took pleas ure in conveying any information to visitors. Mrs. J. L. McComb exhibited a col lection of pantry supplies that would make your mouth water. A newspaper man who, because of a habit formed in youth, never feels like he has enjoyed a fair unless he can devour a "red hot," was engaged in that enjoyable pastime at the rinse on Friday afternoon, and was attempt ing to hide, as far as possible, when, glancing around, he beheld a digni fied lawyer openly and without any apparent qualms, engaged in a like effort, which was some salve to his conscience. Mr. E. H. Hughes had on display, among a fine collection of garden pro ducts, some nice looking bell peppers. Mr. Hughes says he has netted $14 from his pepper crop this y3a;\ Mr. 0. S. Cochran's display of farm products was mighty good. Anybody could see from his exhib hibit that Mr. E. H. Hughes knows something about gardening. Messrs. J. W. McDill and D. E. N'ewell both had some fine sorghum on exhibit. Mr. Will Syfan's display of home made flour shows that Minnesota has no edge on us when it comes to the stuff from which "the staff of life" is made. ( The pair of 'possums shown by Mr. , S. T. Eakin at the fair were Ifce only : creatures that didn't have their eyes , \>iue upgu. Dr. P. B. Carwile will never suffer with cold feet, for his good wife is an expert on knitting socks. The young men of Abbeville should be ashamed of themselves if they ever let Miss Eugenia Coleman leave our midst. The rolls she makes will surely make some man happy. Mrs. Joe J. Link doesn't care so much about the meat trust, because she knows how to cure her own hams. Mr. W. J. Reid knows something about corn growing. His exhibit of white corn was very good. Messrs. W. T. King, Joe J. Link and C. M. Cason also displayed some miehtv eood corn. When one sees the number of priz es which Mrs. W. T.

Mr. "Will Syfan took first prize for th? best home-made flour and Mrs. Syfan first prize for the best home made bread. Now that's an Ideal com bination for a happy home anywhere. Dr. McMurray says he learned more about poultry from one day's attend ance at the county fair than he could learn in a month's time from a book. Mr. W. A. Calvert also learned something about chickens?that have feathers where no feathers ought to be. Chief Elgin of the fire department was mighty proud of the showing made by "Mutt" and "Jeff," the splen did horses of the department. Mr. Hugh Wilson was an interested spectator at the goat exhibit. Mr. Wilson laid the foundation of his for tune with the proceeds from a goat farm, and he is partial to his old-time friends. Many ladies who occupied the grandstand are indebted to The Press and Banner for preserving their Sun day best from the dust. But still there were hundreds who took a copy home with them. We hope they will enjoy perusing its columns. It will be necessary for the Associa tion to provide more stalls for the rac ing stock if the same standard is maintained in this department. If anybody went away dissatisfied, we haven't heard of it. Mr. W. A. Stevenson exhibited a j hog that was large enough for any- j body. THE SECOND REGIMENT BAND OF ANDERSON Everybody who attended the Coun ty Fair commented upon the fine mus ic rendered by the Second Regiment Band, of Anderson. Mr. T. R. Yar borough is the chief musician and he has gathered about him an aggrega tion of young men who are thorough-! ly in sympathy with his desire to | have the best band in the State. An- j jerson is particularly fortunate in . having an organization of this kind in ! her midst. The band is this week in i attendance upon the State Fair in Co lumbia, where it will afford pleas ure to the thousands who are attend ing the event. Abbeville hopes to have j Mr. Yarborough and his boys again j' in her midst at some early time. I >IK. L. PARKER WILL XANAtiK CALHOUN ESTATE i Mr. L. M.

On entering the fair grounds last Friday} we were most agreeably, as well as won- j derfully surprised, first at the great con course of people, men, women and chil-l dren from all parts of Abbeville county, as' well as from adjoining counties, estimated j at from 2,500 to 3,000. It was an immense I throng surging to and fro, all in a goodj humor and seemingly well pleased with their visit, and having a pleasant time meeting old friends and comrades whom they had not seen in many locg years, and 'tis sad when we think may never meet I some of them again for their eyes are j dimmed and their locks frosted by the. snows of many winters, and their steps once quick, are now feeble and slow, yes, j tottering to the grave; considering all j these things how glad we should be of this j pleasant opportunity for such a pleasant j gathering. Mr. C. V. Hatnmond is in the city, the guest of his brother, Mr. J. S. Hammond and family. MissAlleene, the pretty dantrhter of Mr. C. P. Hammond, is in tho city visiting rel atives for a few days, when she will return to Lander College at Greenwood. The "mind reader" is just now interest ing the people of the city, having them on the go by day and by night. She is won- ! derful in her mind readings of the present, puab U.1JU lUbUlUi Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Wilson, together with Mr. and Mrs. John li. Gibert, arrived in the city last Saturday after a delightful trip to Staunton, Virginia, where they were most delightfully entertained by rel atives. Mr. J. D. McGaw, on route three, is now fluishing up his beautiful modern resi dence, and in it is realizing his fondest hopes in the building of his own home, j Wo congratulate him (as ho did n?ost of ] the work himself) and wish for him and | his happy wife many long years of happi ness, health and great prosperity. < This has certainly been a gala week in j the city. Mr. J. J. Jones is spending a few days at 1 home to the delight and pleasure of his , family. His neighbors and friends are : glad to see hiin.
