I, A ST FRIDAY AT WATERLOO. ? By "A Visitor." Everybody and his brother too. were there, I think and all voted that day at Waterloo, the 2lst, a perfect success in every way. The special occasion that brought us all. from far and near. j was the magnificent Clemson car ex hibit that has, since the 5th of .June, been muking the tour of the State. Our fine agricultural college Is cer tainly "doing Itself proud", in thus, practically demonstrating, in the way of fine stock and Improved me '. >d8 of farming, that "there's life In .be old land yet;" only Intelligent Indus try is necessary to develop our latent resources and the goo(! that there Is, hidden away In "Dixie." I hope Messrs. Editors that you were there to see the grand Pencheron hors es, the Jersey, Hed-polled. Holsteen, Herford, Guernsey and Ayshlre Cows; and the big fat hogs. (I don't know their names) that made one think of good old times "be fo' de war" when "hog and hominy" and ail things good for man were so abundant I think these good old limes, or their like, are coming here again ami to stay; we are fast learning that corn is King and not cotton; we can't eat cotton! While splendid Prof. Barrow from Clemson, Mr. HunnlCUtt of "The South ern Cultivator" and our own line pres ident of the Live Stock Association. Win. I). Byrd, kept the farmers to gether Misses Hyde and Gibson from Winthrop College, demonstrated, most fully and kindly many labor and money saving devices for the busy house-wife. The alcohol stove and the tireless cooker, an ice cream churn that .don't have to be turned, coffee percolators and many other things that I trust will soon come into regu lar use. There were line cattle of many breeds exhibited by the surrounding farmers, also splendid trotting horses ami line colts, showing that our pro gressive farmers are up-to-date in that Which is best. And now I must tell you of the baby show; little lads, ami babes, all so dainty and darling. I am glad I wasn't one of the Judges for tiny certainly had a hard Job to "choose the fairest." amidst so much beauty, then too, to brave the anger of indignant mammas, each one of whom was sure their own was pretti est. It is the part of wisdom. I have heard, to save "the best for the last" - this I have done, but all words fail me when I try to tell you of that de licious barbecue dinner, under the spreading oaks, down by the spring? pork, mutton, beef and big Irish pota toes, with splendid coffee and bread, all so well cooked, your correspondent got a big plate full of the best, a big tin cup of coffee, a chair to sit in and with charming people all around to 'ilk to (if one only had the leisure just then) Had a royal time, that made one forget the "hard times and hard tack" at home. To the public spirit and energy of the progressive men of Waterloo we return thanks for the instruction and the pleasure of this flue day but es pecial thanks are due Mr. W. Carl Wharton who invited the Clemson train. Happiest CM In Lincoln. A Lncoln, Neb., girl writes, "I had been ailing for Rome time with chronic constipation and stomach trouble.
