I.mm.-.e ese - FARMERS' EDUCATIONAL AND CO-OPERATIVE UNION ..-- OF AMERICA = - Pickens County Union Column J. T. BOGGS, REV. W. C. SEADORN and JOEL MILLER. Committee in Charge. LIBERTY, S. C.-The Pickens County F. E. and C. U. of A. will hold an educational rally at Pickens court house, Satur day, August 22, open to the world. Everybody invited to attend, especially those interest ed in agricultural pursuits, and that includes the whole human family. Among the prominent speakers to: te with us on that occasion is G. M. Davis of Geor gia, who has been State lecturer of Georgia, and who conducts the Farmers Union department in the Atlanta Constitution, and whose work in the Union all well informed union men are more or less familiar with. Rem nmber everybody is in vited, nd that includes your family. By order of C. T. Hutchins and J. M. Garrett, County Ex ecutive Committee. td NEWBERRY, S. C., August 8 The Farmers Union is now hold ing its educational rallies in the state. Pres. B. Harris has a corps of able workers visiting the various counties in the inter est of the Union. G. M. Davis of Georkia spoke here today to a large crowd of interested farmers. The court house was well filled from this and nearby counties. Mr. Davis has spoken at And son and Greenwood before com ing here. He has dates for Lau rens, Spartanburg, Union, Gaff ney and Greenville and will visit these places in order named. The Union is attracting con sidera ble attention throughout the state. New members are joining daily. Newberry is one of the best organized counties in the state. H-on. B. Harris and J. L. Kitt andl others spoke. County Fair. The time for holding the coun ty fair is rapidly drawing nigh, therefore every citizen of the county should take an active part from now on, for the suc cess of the same means a great deal to Pickens county, Meetings of various commit tees have been held from tinxe to time, and the reports and pro grammes formulated were Dub lished in detail in the papers throughout the county, thereby affording every one an opportu nity to compete for the prizes which will be awarded. A duty is involved upon every citizen of this county to make this fair a success, regardless of whether he, be a member of a committee or not. The Individ ual citizen is as deeply responsi ble for success of same as is a rnember or any committee; and the Importance of this fair and .Sco fs ? mult the beneficial results which will follow should be taken into con sideratiop by those indirectly interested in the matter. It is a matter of impossibility to plice every citizen of this county on a committee, therefqre when a programme of committees was arranged those that were able to devote the time and attention which the same required were selected, but this does not mean that any person other than a committeeman should not inter est himself in this cause. This fair is given for the ben efit of Pickens county, and if the same does not prove a suc cess, an idea which has not been entertained by anyone, the rural districts and other - sections would be just as responsible for the failure, and subject to the same criticism and comment, as those living in towns, therefore let every citizen of this county utilize the little time remaining in interesting those who may manifest an inclination to be derelict. The Pickens County Fair is going to dccupy a con spicuous place for Pickens coun tv in the hk * ry of success. * A Family Reunion. On July 29, 1908, there was a most pleasant day spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Roper, who live two miles south of Pickens, it being a family re union. The table was well loaded with meats and sweets and all kinds of good things to eat, and was enjoyed by all. They also had plenty of watermelons, fruit, cider and lemomade. Mr.. and Mrs. Roper have raised eleven children; five sons and two daughters' are. matried; two girls, Misses May and Belle, and two sons, Spencer and Perry, are at home. Their sons in-law are Messrs. Arthur Ram pey and Pleasant Nelson. Mr. Rampey resides near Bethlehem Methodist church, and Mr. Nel son resides near Mr. Roper's. Their sons, Messrs. Hampton and Hardy, live within hearing distance of their parents' home. Their eldest son, Mr. W. O. Roper, is a resident of Easley. Their -second and fourth sons, Messrs. Wiley and Butler Roper, are residents of the Cedar Rock district. _____ Mr. and Mrs. Roper have 19 grandchildren, all beautiful and sweet and intelligent children. Mr. and Mrs. Roper look forward to/the 29th of J3ulyr bringing much pleasure and happiness, when their children all gather once more at their home, no longer little ones, but grown men and women, all except Perry and Belle. It did seem sad when night came after listening, the latter part of the .afternoon to the good music being rendered by Messrs. Nelson- and Rampey, to part, each child bidding their father and mnother good night, also their aunt, Mrs. Goenell, who seems very dear to thenm, she making Iher home with Mr. and Mrs. Rampey. But we all look forward to the next 29th of . July and hope to all meet there again. |niuiua s~h TVfV9Cat,60f ]D~k PAPR0TT respetfullY ofnlo 0 cla 08 at[0 iOleoton t the vfi ootet, subjtbe t otiouof the nounce msel a n4s, I bereb an noune ni, t Ye c~uldteor'orOner of Pick env county, subject to the~ action of the Demo cratic party In to primary elnetion.
