Fair Play is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) settlements in Coo nee county ?ind is honored and re spected by ?ill who know it or of it, been ll so of its history of useful ness, ll has ?il all times In its Career been noted for its intelligent and enterprising citizenship. For the last hundred years the communi ty has been a leader in rural pro gress. Among ils honored and pro gressive men were I), s. Strlbling, Samuel ami Levis [shell, .1. and Hebert Holland. A. S. Stephens, A. .1.. John and (!. W. Marett. Hains and Wm. .1. Il Ix, P. L. Dean and A. .1. Hunt, and many others the memory ol* whose intelligence, stand ing and enterprise we recall but to honor and revere. While these old and honored men have long sinco gone to their rewards, they still live, to-day in the. persons of their sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters- honest, reliable moil ?md women, who are now at the helm directing the affairs of old Fair Play, and (bey are doing the task grandly, loo. Many of our very best men and women ol* to-day are sons and (laugh 1er:-, ol' those beloved mon who resided at ?md around Fair Play, and they ?ire making them selves fell in enterprising offorl for thc uplift of the county, socially, educationally and religiously. They are united harmoniously in all good work, and for Ibis reason the whole country ls feeling tho Influence of their work and enterprise. Under their Influen?a ?md direction, a pro gressive board ol' I rust ees, composed of I). V. Wright, li. H. Marett, and t . P. Glonn, ?md a teaching fore? : .od ?.mi Misses P' nie Harker and ? ; ii<- Perkins, are Itainjui the 'i'll J dren of the COU! ni Un liv fol' a-.-'n'i ?eiHv.et>Hhip. Wuh n 'tandeo'nc com I . MI .. L'OJ ....j.v, building Ot some live teaching apartments and an auditorium of sufficient capacity they are prepared to do a grand work, such as is necessary to make tho children of the community use ful citizens in the very near future. ???deed, the sons and daughters of 'Fair Play are forcing their neighbor hood to Ibo forefront in tho State. Fair Play will never como up lack ing. On the 71li Instant a large gather ing assembled at Fair Play for the purpose of cultivating social rela tionship and to display the effects of I heir enterprise and accomplish ments to a large assembly of people of both Anderson and Oconee coun ties, and woll did they succeed in tills effort. Evory room in their -commodious school building was filled with oxhiblts, showing the ac complishments of this worthy people, these exhibits ranging from cakes, jellies, pickles and bread, corn, cot ton, wheat, oats, bay and potatoes, lo almost all kinds of vegetables. In .one room was displayed all kinds nf vegetables; in another most beautiful flowers and ferns, attrac tively arranged; in another a Ano display of articles showing tho handi work of the good ladies of the com munity, In all kinds of things from laces to fancy bed coverings; and in all tho rooms were the most nc eompllshcd and beautiful woman hood of Oconee county, and these nil giving Interested attention to Hie many babies, in the arms of mothers, brought to this fair because of the fact that part of the day's interest centered in a baby show. To the most per feel baby was lo be awarded a medal. To make the physical examination Drs. Nardin of Anderson. Hines and Stribling of Seneca, Johns and Strickland of Westminster, and Mayes of Fair Play, and probably others, had been ??ailed. Much interest was mani fested in this baby show. Tho prize ?vas li milly awarded lo lit tie Miss Frances Sheldon, daughter of Mr. und Mrs. Laurence Sheldon, ?md cert! Heat es to little Misses Sheldon and Mayes. A sumptuous meal wis sprefd on tho lawn at the roar of tho acade my, the like ol' which is sddoin seen and enjoyed in this eountrv, ?is will be attested by SOUK; 100 people. Thin dinner was a fe-'st well worthy of ibo cluden! women of Fair Play and community, bul was nothing moro than should be expected from prosperous Fair Play. Again the people, both young and old. Hocked into tho spacious school auditorium, to give attention to speech-making. The address of Dr. KS. A. Hines, of Seneca, on tho subject 'if eire and treatment of mother hood and babyhood was well worth the attention of till lovers of moth ers and babies- the base anon which the future of this great coun try must be built. The only regret table thing about tills address is that ?ill of Oconee'a good people were not present to hear and benefit by it. Wo venture to suggest that Dr. Hines should have this address printed and distributed, that our people generally might be thc re cipients of tile information con tained therein. After the address of Or. Hines all were pleased and Instructed by an address of unusual interest by .Miss Chauncle Blackburn, (loki agent of tho Tuberculosis League. Miss lliackburn is brim-full of useful In formation, and she imparts it well in her talk on tuberculosis. .Miss Ruth Berry- "our own*' Miss Ruth- thou addressed the audience. lt is useless to toll the people of Uconee anything about Miss Kerry and her accomplishments, for sha is our own. and everybody knows her, her practical common sense, her work and worth. Tho audience demonstrated its appreciation nf Miss Berry by the applause given as she arose, and Hie deop interest manifested in lier well-timed re marks. Mrs. Dora D. Walker then spoke, and was followed by James M. Moss and Thomas A. Smith, after which diplomas and a medal wore delivered to the three best babies-(?'ranees Sheldon receiving tho medal and lit tle Misses Sheldon and Mayos tho diplomas. lt is quite appropriate that Fair Play, the oldest and most beloved community of Oconee. should In augurate tho "community fair" among us. We feel an abiding pride in the accomplish ment of Fair Play and commend its example to oilier communities of tho county. We predict Hutt the lires of enthusi asm will not soon burn low at Fair Play, and we shall look forward to the fall of next year for an Invita tion to attend the second community fair in this grand old community. The best exhibit we observed at this fair was the delightful harmony and good feeling manifested among all prosent. Fair Play well knows how to make ber guests fool at home, and on this occasion she was at he: hes!. May she long live and prosper. Long Creek Academy Notes. M omi i aili Host.
