The County Fair.
They came, they saw and they were
captured. The Lexington county fair
for this year has passed into history.
Everybody was here, happy, prosperous,
jolly and delightea. If any
came with misgivings they went away
fully satisfied with the showing of
their county. The crowd was not
quite so large as last year, owing to
the inclement weather, but it made
up in enthusiasm, good cheer and appearance
what it lacked in size.
The horse flesh shown in the arena
this year was a credit to any county;
and nothing so well indicates the
prosperity of a people as the kind of
horses they own. A fine horse be
speaks a fine farm, and a fine farm indicates
a prosperous and progressive
man. Lexington can hold her own
against any county in the State when
it comes'to well bred, well groomed
and well fed horses.
The poultry exhibit was up to the
usual standard and showed some fine
specimens of the feathered tribe.
The fancy work, the household department
and the like were creditable.
The truth is every department showed
up well except the field department,
which on account of unseasonable
weather during the year, was
not expected to be up to the average.
And then there was the midway,
noisy, bustling, with great crowds
j moving in a ceaseless stream, the
| speilers shouting, the fortune teller,
the plantation show, the Japanese
; with their wares and little almond
| eyes, the game- of semi-chance, all
' these were there to give the visitor

the worth of his money. There is
nothing like the county fair. The
amusement is innocent, the fun wholesome
and the chance for social intercourse
unequaled, and our people
know how to take advantage of these
features. They were here from every
nook and corner of the county, were
pleased with what they saw and went
away with ju9t pride in their county.
Many prominent Columbians were
noticed mingling with their Lexington
friends and entering .into the

was the most sober, most orderly and
well behaved we have ever seen, and
their was not a single unfortunate incident
to mar the pleasure of the three
days of fun and profit, for these fairs
are profitable to all who attend.
The management deserves the highest
praise. All the events were pulled
off with a promptness that was
gratifying. Next year will see even
a better fair, for the experience gained
is an asset that goes into the making
of success.
The following officers were elected
for next year:
Dr. W. H. Timmerman, Batesburg,
president; Messrs. W. W. Barre, Lexington;
R. L. Keisler, Gilbert; A. M.
Wmgard, Irmo; J. B. Towill, Batesburg,

Maj. E. B. Quattlebaum Bead.
Maj..Ed. R. Quattlebaum, youngest
son of the lace Gen. Paul Quattlebaum,
while at work in Mobile, Ala.,
fell from the United States Barge
office twenty feet to the wharf, sustaining
injuries from which he died
two hours later, on October 16. He
is survived by his family, who live in
Mobile, and a number of relatives in
this county, among them his mother
and sisters, who still live at the old
Gen. Paul Quattlebaum homestead,
near Leesville.
Maj. Quattlebaum joined the Confederate
arm}*, going out with Co. K.,
Capt. Wm. D. M. Harman, of this
county, and was later made sergeantmajor
of the old 20th regiment. He
was as brave a man as ever wore a
uniform, and was loved by all who
knew him. He was a warm friend and
messmate of this writer.
In the battle of Cedar Run, October
13, 1863, near Strausburg, in the Shanandoah
valley, he was severely wounded,
a shell striking him while he was
assisting Gen. Connor, of Charleston,
who had been wounded by a shell and
his horse killed falling upon him. In
the same fight our townsman, Mr.
James E. Hendrix,_received his taste
of war; D. D. Kleckley was also
wounded; Geo. W. Eargle lost an
arm; Jacob Croat was wounded and
afterwards died at Mount Jackson;
J. Calvin Long was killed instantly
by a minnia ball, all of Co. K.
The death of Maj. Quattlebaum will
be regretted by his surviving war
comrades and a host of his friends
and relatives in this the county of his
birth. No family, has contributed
more to the well being and history of
this county than the Quattlebaum
family, and their service to the county
will always be held in grateful remembrance.

Tribute of Respect.
Whereas, we the members of Emanuels
Church Missionary Society, being
aware of the sad death of one of our
beloved and most faithful members,
Mrs. Ellen Sox, whose love for her
society became so strong and zealous
as to demand the attention of its
members, and whose absence now
among us is greatly lamented; therefore,
be it resolved;
1. That, even though we greatly
mourn her departure from among us;
yet, we are confident that our loss of
her as a member is her eternal gain.
2. That, we as a society humbly bow
in submission at the feet of Him who
holds the brittle thread of our lives in
his hands and doeth all things well.
3. That, we extend our deepest
sympathy to the family she has left
to mourn her departure, and pray
that God's blessings may ever overshadow
them.
4. That a copy of these resolutions
be inscribed in our record book, also
copies be sent to the Lexington Dispatch
and the Lutheran Chui'ch Visitor
for publication.
Respectfully submitted.
