A 1905-Model Festival
I was ah>ut 18 years of uge when
I made my debut (now pronounced
day-bu), and the occasion was a can- j
dy-bicaking. The present genera-[
tion knoweth ivot what a candy-1
breaking is or was, but they were
indeed very popular around 19 and I
5,'and right in a class with shooting
matches and square dances.
Well, !>ack yonder when it was a
sin for a deacon to give a dance, his
next chance to furnish entertainment
was to j>ermit his boys and girls to
stage a big candy-breaking at his
house. Kverybody that was anybody
at all hud to carry several sticks of
candy to such a party, and ivelieve
me, candy wus candy theft? and 20
or 25 sticks would cost a feller something
like 5 cents.
The candy - breaking invitation
came to me on 'Wednesday night
while I was on my way home from
pulling fodder in the l>ottoms. I put
my brain to working on a plan to
raise some money to buy candy with,
but nickles were few and far between,
however, it ?o happened that
my mother decided bo send me to the
country store with an old hen for the
purpose of swapping her for a few
household adjuncts: this was on a
Friday, and the candy breaking was
scheduled for Saturday night.
Me and that oW hen got to the
store all right. I haxl done some big j
figgering during my 6-mile jaunt
with that fowl, so I traded her for
3 cents worth of pepper and 4 cents
worth of 3o<la and 5 cents worth of
matches, and that left me 8 cents for
other investment, so I bought myself
38 sticks of pretty streaked-dy-strip- |
ed-dy -mint and lemon candy. And I
was the first gentleman that reached |
Mr. Joneses house for that shin-dig. 1
I showed all the girls my big bun- j
die of candy as they came in, and j
let me toll you, Cake-eaters, I was .
almost the whole show, as the other
boys diddent have but 5 or 6 sticks
apiece. I commenced to break
vfith the different girls <?rly ^ 1
broke late. I made like I diddent
care if the girls got all the who e
stick of candy, and I'd hold 'em by
the tip ends, but I'd, always help em,
eat the candy up while we were wanting
for somebody else to enjoy themselves
a-breaking.
After that, the girls just
me around at the party and called
me -"Candy Boy," but I never manutbul
i? IP I .nmnirh money ?he?dI to.
"shine" quite so extensively at other
candy biabings and finally leet out
entirely as a leader,.hut Boys:_the*?
was times.
Mr. J. A. White Says, "If You
Have An Automobile,
Keep Rat-Snap."
"If I knew about RAT-SNAP last
Winter, would have saved $120. My
car was in the garage for n few
week? during the bad weather; when
I went to take it out, found that rats
had eaten great holes in two new
tires. Got them?later?with RAT- SNAP."

The Community Fans hold at Mt.
I'isguh and Dluney this week were
higli points of achievement. Produce
of all kinds grown in this auction
were displayed in both abundance and
quality. i
Corn and sweet potatoes were well
represented while other crops such as
small grains, vegetables, etc., weie
indicative of a good yield.
As usual the ladies led the way
by ( exhibiting many canned goods,
^iWkagea that were highly creditable
Also the hand work was far too
splendid for words . to describe.
Many of these articles will be shown
at the county fair this week.
In these community fairs being
held over Kershaw county this year
for the first time is seen a new
era and a new interest and development
for the several communities,
for many people have actively participated
in these worthy projects
who probably never before hud such
un opportunity. Also those fairs will
develop a great deal more interest
for the county fair, us people will
find it pleasant and satisfying to help
in their community fairs and will
carry this laudable spirit of cooperation
on and lead their respective
communities to greater activity and
achievement at their county fair..
It is expected now that the number
of community fairs will l>e increased
considerably next yearThe
community .fairs .over tho
county thus far have revealed a
splendid spirit of cooperation and. a
lot of hard work and thought on tho
part of the people in general in the
communities, says Henry I). Green,
county agent.

It is so easy to follow the line of least resistance that
most men have not the strength of character to do anything
