( SMALL BLAZES
Monday evening about 9:30 o’clock
the alarm of fire sounded and the
fire companies responded to a man.
It was discovered that a small blaze
had started in the closet of the resi
dence of Mrs. M. P. Howell, which
was soon extinguished, however, and
but little damage was done. The
promptness with which the two fire
companies responded was an evi
dence of their great interest in the
fire department and the profection of
their training.
Another alarm was sounded Sun
day morning about 1:30 o’clock in
the outer end of the town. This
was caused by the burning of a small
barn in the yard of John Holmes.
The barn and its contents were com
pletely destroyed.

DEATH OF JOSEPH SAMUEL -
SAUNDERS.
On October the 11th. at two o'
clock. a large number of relatives
and friends assembled at Doctor’s
Creek Church to pay their last re
spects to a deeply loved friend and
citizen. Joseph Saunders was a
faithful member of Doctor’s Creek
Baptist church, and while his life
was unostentatious he wielded a si
lent but potent influence for good.
I knew Joseph personally, and was
in his home the day before his death.
Little did I realize then that I would
so soon be called on to perform the
last sad duty of conducting his
funeral service. However, he was
prepared for the change when it
came, and we feel sure that he is
now numbered With those who people
the Kingdom of God.
Brother Saunders will be greatly
missed by his friends and church for
he was ever ready to sympathize and
help in life’s work, but we feel that
our loss is his eternal gain.
To you loved ones who mourn his
loss, I would say, do not mourn as
others who have no hope, for those
who sleep in Jesus will God bring
with him.
I see the chain of friendship
Death never hath power to part;
One link is under the waters,
The other is round my heart.
I hear from depths of the river.
Sweet words, that my spirit thrill;
We are parted, but not forever;
We are living and loving still.
And my soul no more is lonely.
Nor throbs with a sense of pain, ,
For the loved, who was once my
only.
I know shall be mine i
WELCOME TO THE FIRST COUNTY FAIR.
ALL THINGS ARf NOW ,READY FOR FAIR. AND THE
FAIR IS READY FOR VISITORS. SPLENDID
~ PROGRAM. ‘
\ -
Thr* Colleton County Fair Association extends a cordial invitation to the
people of Colleton county and other counties to be present at the first
Annual Fair. The town of Walterboro opens wide her gates and bids her
visitors welcome. *>.
A MAGIC CITY.
As if by magic a little city has sprung into existence at the Fair grounds
of the Colleton County Fair Association. Dozens of workmen have been
engaged for the past few weeks in transforming the base ball park into a
Fair ground for Colleton County’s First Annual Fair.
A glance at the grounds will show how well they have succeeded and a
glance at the entry book in the superintendent’s office will further show
what great interest has been taken in the Fair by the people of the coipity
generally, and the end is not yet. Up to yesterday afternoon, there had
been entered exhibits by 150 exhibitors, who have entered from one to
twelve exhibits each. These exhibits cover a wide range of the county’s
resources and products. The largest exhibits probably are those of fancy
work, with preserves, pickles etc., a close second. There are also farm
exhibits, poultry, horses, hogs and other live stock. In addition to these a
great-many real splendid farm exhibits have been entered, and others are
being brought in.
EVERYTHING IN READINESS*.
By the time the Fair grounds are opened, Thursday morning at 10:
o’clock everything will be in place and in readiness for the large crowd
which is expected to attend. The people will come together from the
ends of the county and will see the products of this large county, and will
there mingle together, and will go back home with more county spirit
and with a full realization of the great products in store for them, for
their children and their children’s children.
, . THE SUPERINTENDENT’S WORK.
T d-w-n k. however, has not been completed just so. It has required
much plodding planning, pluck and perseverance. The man who has
iin ( • • I all of this. Dr T. G. Kershaw, the Superintendent, deserves
•redit f *r the splendid way in which he has handled this First County
hair. When the prospects were gloomy, and there was but little Fair
spirit, ho took hold and by keeping at it he has aroused a great interest.
This paper has also single-handed boosted it on every opportunity.
Since the organization of the County Fair Association these efforts
have been ably assisted by President G. C. Brown and the other officers
of the association.
In addition to the numerous exhibits there will not be lacking other
features of amusement for the crowd. Already there have arrived a
Merry-go.round, several luncheon and novelty stands, old plantation show
and more are yet to come. •
ADMISSION FEES.
The admission fee to the Fair grounds will be 25c for adults and 15c for
children. All school children will.be admitted for 10c. One paid admis
sion a day entitles the holder to go in and out of the grounds at will. The
gate keeper will stamp the person to whom the ticket is sold with the
date. This will be done probably on the palm or back of the hand by
means of a rubber stamp, and any person desiring to leave the grounds
and return w'ill simply have to show the hand. -

VOTE TABULATED.
I was thought that a visit to the
County Fair will be more beneficial
to the school children of the county
than a day at their books, and as a
consequence, the County Board of
education has set aside Friday as a
holiday for the schools of the county,
and has addressed the following
circular letter to the chairman of
each hoard of trustees in the county.
Dear Sir Believing that the
County Fair to be held the latter
part of this week at Walterboro
will be of much educational value to
the school children being especially
helpful to them in their study of
l(*cal conditions, the history and
products of the county, the County
Board of Education, do hereby set
aside Friday, November, 12, 1909,
as a holiday for ail schools in the
countv.
We recommend that teachers be
paid the same as on other legal holi
days. and that they be urged to
bring their schools in a body if possi
ble. and direct the attention of their
pupils to such of the resources of
tne county a- mav be on exhibit. J
Respectfully.
