A GOOD SPORT. !
is
The good sport is the man who
not only grins and bears defeat, but
also endures a triumph without too .
much grinning. He is the fellow
who is always considerate of the
other fellow's feelings and is always
ready and willing to lend a helping ge(
hand to a less fortunate brother. He jj
is the fellow who would scorn to ba
take advantage of any chance unfair- ^
ly presented to him. He is frank
and above board.in all thtags, and t
does not try to shift the blame where
it does not belong. When at work ca
he puts his best into 'his work and Qf
when at play he always plays fairly. n{
He can always be depended upon
to do what is set before him to the
best of his ability. In other words,
a good sport is the kind of fellow an
. every young man should like to be, bo
and is surely a goal worth striving tb)
, for.

A CITY CLUB FOR CHERAW. ab
The success of the civic clubs, semi- bei
social and semi-commercial, in the C.,
large cities where they stimulate civic W.
interest and bring citizens together an
in the cause of good government and lai
community welfare, leads to the mc
question?Why not a Civic Club in in
Cheraw? Many of the small towns in ms
Wisconsin and other Western states sqi
have their weekly lunch clubs or sim- of
liar organizations which are proving spi
forums in which much valuable dis- wfc
cussion is held. Such an organiza- vej
t'on in Cheraw would find many del
i 1J- n ^
Importance to dlscuss'an^^^WicNIW
stimulate the local civic spirit* *
A Civic Club should be a powerful An
factor in a small town. The gath- vei
ering of our business men for social noi
and civic purposes would develop wa
new ideas of town improvement, dis- fui
cuss the things which touch the wel-1 ficl
fare of the home, such as pure food, ke<
; clean streets and premises, play- '
grounds, school system and countless vei
other matters. Moreover, it would tin
bring the business men into closer fai
unity for the promotion of their com- to
mon interests and achieve actual results
in bettering and boosting the (
community. Such an organization coi
may do much to arouse an enlightened qui
community to bettering government sto
and municipal affairs. ' Se<
It should not take the place of the
\ Board of Trade, which is essentially *
commercial in its endeavors. The
Civic Club's purpose should be along exs
the lino of public welfare and a lit- ',vh
tie less connected with the material ^
side of the town prosperity. It would
work for more beautiful things and a<
greater comforts for the town people.
The two organizations together would ,0

We believe there is not a better ,

community in existence than Cheraw.
And being the best, the Civic Club g
can make it better and ougbt to do r;,j
it. Again, let us get together. did

ST. PATRICK'S DAY. "?t<
To one who is even only slightly flee
acquainted with the history of kre-: mo:
land or its beautiful folk lore, the to ]
name of St. Patrick conjures revfries car
that are pleasant to indulge. One ous
will search long to find history of of
more profound interest than that of
the Emerald Isle, and the most ab- ^
sorbing of this is woven around the kit
era of the good patron saint, Patrick, or
or Patricus, as was his Roman name. Th(
A captive and swineherd in his out
younger days, he finally escaped and ?00
spent several jietrs in Rome. He at :
then returned and, in the face of and fro
against the protestations of the Druid due
high-priest who then controled the fina
pagan Island, spread the gospel of ern
., "Christianity and became the regen- It
erator of his nation. Some historians tha
claim Christianity was first Jntro- tha
?luced in Ireland by Catholic priests wit
from the 'Burnpa. hut fre-Mif
id herself accepts Saint Patrick as' 1
r national apostle.
The good saint is said to have
i a wealth of eloquence at his
nmand in his teachii^gs, and in
le converted to Christianity many
the Druid priests. It was Saint
trick who first used the sham:k
to illustrate the trinity, and in
doing he gave to Ireland her
tional flower. The harp, another
tblem of Ireland, is such because
the nation's Bardic genius. We
ill not discuss h^re Saint Patrick's
it of driving the snakes from Ireid,
but a recent article in a magaie
of repute declares that to this

sibilities. It has already accomplished
a great' deal and is growing
