Will Last for Three Days--Promises to be a Big Success. g Everything is now in readiness for the Kirmess, which begins in the armory this evening at 6 o'clock. For .the past two days the ladies have been as busy as bees in the work of preparation and now the armory with its booths and other attractions has been completely transformea. Foi the next tnree days it will be the centre of attraction to old and young alike, The Kirmess, as has 'ceen an nounced, is being given for the benefit of the Commercial Club for the better equipping of their rooms. It is in charge of the ladies of tha town and they are all working for its success, and from what they have already done there i:3 every assurance of suc cess in all respects. The contri butions by the men and the ladies have been numerous and there will have to be some doing about to get rid of all the nice things that ha.ve been contributed. The'Kirmess opens this after noon at 6 o'clock and will con tinue for three evenings. Each evening the ladies will serve sup per and all are urged to come to the armory for their suppers dur ing the Kirmess. The charge for supper will be only 25 cents and the ladies promise that they will give you your money's worth. Refreshments will also be served each evening. There will be a special attrac tion each evening. This (Wed nesday) evening there will be the Lilliputian wedding, a most in teresting performance by the lit tle ones. Thursday evening there will be the Eden Musee, which will have to be seen to be appre ciated. Friday evening there will be a cake walk, in which it is expected that every man, woman and child in town will takepa. This will be the greatest cake walk of the century. Each even ing there will be charged a small admission fee of ten cents, which will entitle one to witness these interesting exercises. Several booths have been ar ranged and in each of these there will be a com~mittee of ladies that will have some tempting offerings, including fancy work, refresh ments, candies, etc., and there will even be a booth it ,hichvou can have your fortune told. Tlhe largest booth will be the country store in which you can get any thing from a pig to a set of teeth, so varied is the assortment in this up-to-date country store. These goods will be auctioned off each evenfing and you bad better be right on the spot so as to be able to get some of these great bar gains. Of course all the people >f Winnsboro are going to come and patronize the Kirmess and help make is the success that it ought to be. A special invitation is extended the people from the country to attend the Kirmess. Ridgeway Locals. Mrs. A. Talley Moore cele brated her "tin wedding" anni versary on Tuesday. Telegrams of congratulation to the hostess was the unique form of entertain ment for the afternoon. Mrs. R. C. Thomas received the prize for the best telegram, a tin coffee pot, and Mrs. Olin Sawyer a tin pan of pansies. Delicious re freshments were served in the dining room where tinware was used entirely. The menu con sisted of chicken salad, lettuce and nuts, with mayonaise, cheese, - crackers, sandwiches, olives,cream and cake. Miss Eleanor DesPortes was hostess for the Card Club at its last m.eeting. Her home was dainte' and attractive in Marchel . Neil roses and ferns. The high est score was made by Misses Smith and Thomas. Delightful sherry cream and wafers were served during the afternoon. Mr. F. H. Beall gave a very pleasant fishing party last week to several of his friends. The crowd left town about two o'clock, rturning about dark. During the afternoon a most delicious lunch was served the fishermen and women, which proved a good example of man's savage instinct * to destroy. The annual business meeting' of the Ladies' Club will be held at Mrs. Moore's on next Tuesday afternoon. At this meeting the officers will be elected for the coming year and the books as signed to members, etc. Miss Wilson of Gaffoey, who has been the guest of Miss Ruby] Johnson, has returned home.

The closing exercises of th Blackstock school were held Fri day evening and the house wa: well packed with patrons an friends who had come out to wit ness these interesting exercises The exercises consisted for th most part of plays and tableau: and the children in all showet that they had been well trained Without making any invidiou! comparisons, perhaps the tw< most interesting numbers of thi whole program were the recita tions by Alethea and Wilhelmin: Mayes, daughters of Rev. Mr Mayes. One rarely hoars sd goo< recitations by children so youni or even older. The Blackstock school ha: been taught the past two year: by Mr. A. G. Fewell of Roc] ill and Miss Rebecca Craig under whose management somi excellent work has been done Mr. Fewell's many friends regre that he will not return anothe: year, as he will etter upon th< study of medicine. That new school house has no yet been built, but it is prett: safe to say that Blackstock wil take this very important step a some early day. Friday afternoon there was good game of ball betwee2 Blackstock and the Mt. Zior team on the former's diamond The Mt. Zion team again cami out victorious with a score of 5 to 4 Several of the young peopl< went up with the boys that after noon and had the pleasure o taking in the game of ball an< the interesting school closini exercises. A Narrow Escape. -A serious accident was narrowl averted at the sale at Iredel Park Wednesday afternoon. A1 double team belonging to Neel: & Moore, which was standin: almost in the center of the bi; crowd, among whom were a num her of ladies and sm-dl cik e:n became frightenedl an1 soart di I run through the cro xd. 8 m those in the hack jimpol m: .a others fell out. Mr. St-v. : of Fairfield, who had hold of th< lines, was jerked out over th dash board and his e-cape frou a horrible death under thp fait o the frightened animalis was aI most miraculous. Two wheeb~ of the hack passed over his bodh but he escaped with only sligh njries. The little son of Mr. J. A Barber was stepped on by one o the horses inflicting a painfu hurt on one of his feet. Severa others were slightly bruised and hurt in the general stampede that followed, but the 1:orses were soon gotten und r con tro: and in a few minutes the excite ment had subsided and the salE continued uninterrupted.-Rock Hill Herald. Nothing But The Truth. "I thought," said the friend a: the family, "you said this election was going to be a walk-over. "And it was," replied the ex andidate, as he let out a soulful sigh.

McMaster & go., Winnsboro, anid Kennedy Mer Death of Mrs. Sarah Stuart. I Mrs. Sarah Stuart, widow of the late James H. Stuart, died in c Atlanta Friday and her remains'O were interred in Lebanon ceme- i tery, this county, Sunday after- a noon. Mrs. Stuart was 79 years old. She taught school for a few years, her husband having -been engaged in teaching in Fairfield for many years and there are many of his old pupils in the county who still honor his mem- 1 ory. For eleven years she has made her home in Atlanta. She is survived by the following chil dren: J. W. Stuart, managing edi tor The Daily Courier, Texarkana, Texas; W. B. Stuart, manager Western Union Telegraph Com pany, Macon. Ga.; J. C. Stuart, Ed. S. 'Stuart and Miss A. M. Stuart, Atlanta. All came here to attend the funeral and left Monday morning for their respec tive homes. Mr. Jas. T. Williams of Atlanta also accompanied them. Keeps Columbia Talking. There is one thing the people of Columbia continue to talk about and that is the continuous growth of Mimnaugh's Depart ment Store. The never ending bargains that they are all the while arranging for their custom ers over the whole state always suggest what next. Just at this time they are making some of the greatest offerings in white goods that the public has ever known. When it comes to dress goods and notions they are always strictly in it, a fact that the ladies all know. As for millinery they are easily the leaders. There is not a single w.nt in the way of a lady's dress that they can not supply. They are no less thought ful of the men, who will find that they are right to the front in men's clothing and all furnishing goods. Their carpets and rugs are always attracting attention. Their magnificent crockery de partment in the cellar is a great drawing card. And just now they are making all housekeepers hap py with the glad announcement that they are selling half gallon fruit jars for 75 cents per dozen, while for the quarts they are only getting 60 cents per dozen. With ) leaders like these no wonder Co 3 lumbians continue to talk about how their business is growing. If you really want to get it, go to Mimnaugh's. 6-6-2t Miss Walker's Piano Recital. ( The Sate, Mfay 29. ) One of the most genuinely artistic and delightful recitals of the commencement series at the College fir Women thus far was the graduate piano recital of Miss Alice America Walker, given in the auditorium last evening. The programme was particularly en joyable on account of the fact that so many of the numbers were familiar to the audience and Ifavorites to many music lovers. While the programme afforded ample opportunity for the display Lof technical fluency most of the numbers were of a style to demon strate the beautiful tone and un usual musical temperament of the player. She entered into the -mood of each composer with deep feeling and maturity of uder -standing and gave to each number a really poetic interpretaton. The entire programme was, of course, played from memory and with perfect ease and self-possession. Help the Orphans. As summer time comes on, the togtof vacation fills every mind. hWe are apt in our seeking after leisure to forget that there are ophans to be thought of and cared for. Ask the superinten dents of our orphans' homes and without exception they will tell you that the hardest time in the whole year, is "the good old sum .n. r time." Provision gets scarce tn money a great deal scarcer till. It is a splendid time to comnembler the orphans then. When the whieat crop comes in, send "samrp~a-" to be tested by he ni& it"' of .1 e little people. Thbe 200 ;npils o: the Thornwell Orphanage coud test several hun dred bushels o' wheat, for the neighboring mill makes the gift of wheat es acce'ptable as flour. And as for money, only $5.00 will care for a little child for a whole month and there are 200 little childret. to be cared for here. P.'ovisions can be sent to Thorn well Orphanage, Clinton, S. C., and money to Rev. Win. P. Jacobs, at the same place. It is all right to preach that a man should love his neighbor as himself-it sounds so good and platonic. But it is not always possible. Take for instance the' 'man who has planted a fine gar den and his neighbor has chickens which he persists in permitting to run at large. How can the man with the garden love that neigzhbor as himself? It simply can't be done so long as those chickens are not shut up.--Ex. It pours the oil of life into yoursy temi.

Editor: In your last issuei f The News and Herald I find , few dots on good and bad roads a Fairfield county. Will you llow me to say why the roads .ro in such bad condition: 1. It is no man's business what .oudition they are, just so I get ;o town and back. 2. Overseers have hands and vill not spare the time to work ;hem. 3. Every man wants to boss the, :haiogang. 4. Everybody finds fault with ihe county commissioners. 5. The county commissioners stay at home and don't look after what they are paid to do. 6. Overseers get tools from the county and use them for their own purpose on the farm and then "cuss" the commissioners for not having the roads worked. I can point out two roads up in the northeastern part of the county that have not been worked in two years, with overseers and plenty of hands to do the work. On one of these roads there are no less than twelve hands, and I understand none of them pay road tax. I say pay the over seers and there will be some work done, and not until then. Let us go along and try to do better, and if we can't, let us swap with Chester or Richland for a man. Old Overseer. Letter to G. W. Ragsdale. Winnsboro, S. C. Dear Sir: Two and two makes four-not always; depends upon what "two and two" are. Two gallons of water and two gallons of milk don't make four gallons of milk. Neither does four gallons of paint that's half lime, whiting, clay, and kerosene oil, make four gallons of real paint. That's what we mean by saying "Fewer gallons; wears longer." It takes fewer gallons of Devoe lead-and-zine than of mixed paints to paint a house, and it wears twice or three times as long as lead-and-oil mixed by hand. Mr Chas Avery, of Herkimer, N Y, bought 51 gallons of Devoe lead-and-zine to paint his five houses, his painter having figured that it would require at least that amount; 36 gallons did the work and he returned 15 gallons.
