** e . . 0* * *........ "* * Aunt Kate at the County Fair. * * (Continued Fromn Last Week.) * * * **.. . .. . After leaving the Hickory Tavern display which we noted in last issue, 'Wo passed on to the individual dis plays exhibited by Laurens county wo men. The display by Mesdames Grov er Roter of the liabun neighborhood and Mary Allison of Newt Prospect were splendid. If I mistake not I think the best pickle was by Miss Ora Powers, who Is a niece of Aunt Mary, and is followitg in the footsteps of her excellent aunt, who has been a mother to her. Some folks say there is nothing much (o demnons;t ration work but there is. Compare the quality of the fruit and vegetables canned now with those of former years, and see how very su prolor the present diay ones are. And the question very naturally arises: l not this perfection in ennning the result of demonstration work? Time nor space will permit it de teription of the many and various pieces of handiwork of the women, and l 1 was not so fortunate as Mrs. Den nett whose face was all wreathed with smiles as she sam11pled the various edi bles of display. But from the looks of the articles In question and the smile on the pudge's face I feJ1 assured they too were pronounced good! Trust the women to cram as much work in one day a sthe next bne! While still pushing and viewing and shaking hands with the good folks of the county--fron Durbin and Dials and I kom and Waterloo the hour Cane for a meeting of the Rural Im provemuent association where Miss Workman of the Laurens normal school was to meet the women of the county and try to pass on her enthus ifsn to them. Only a few were pres ent and right here may I digress a lit tle and lambast somebody? To be absolutely honest though I doi't know just who to hit at! May he our representatives in the legisla ture could shed a little light therign. Anyhow 'I'll relieve my mind and at the samve time be spokesman for a large portion of the thinking women of our county. The question we would like to have answered is whose fault is It that we have no rural school supervisor? Wit Lion Gray did splendid pioneer work in "Laurens county and just as tlhe work got started the sinews of war are cut off and there you are! We lid Just gotten organized and a faint glimmering of how much could be ac complished by the Rural School asso ciallon and the work fails for the want of leadership. MIrs. Flerson was not in the work long enough in this county and not. knowign the field she was handleapped. -Miss Workman is perfectly capable, also, but she hasn't the time. 'It was a step back ward when that oflice was abolished and all that can hoped to be done is to keep the organization together till the pliace Is .a.e possible agaIn.

"Time has (dile such wond1(ers for you that if It.11( had.not been for' that grin 1'd nlever knlow you !" So we shoo0k haindis 01ne and( thecn shook hands again andl if theO little woman101 that had( stood entireley hilen0 bly is bIg form bad not ealied us back we might have been1 .shaking hland~s yet ! "I guess you are so glad to see Tom you won't speak to me," and hler face too I re memb~ered out of tile lon~g, long ago, about old 'Bushl iveyr In Newborry county. "You ought to' see old Bush81 Iver now," and It did me some good to hear and know that thle old church of their fathers was also (lear to them and that an u1pd0-date ,ehlurchi now stands remodfolled antl refurnishled. May her lighlt shine long and brightly In the years ahead of us! What would I do on fair days did not HI. Terry hlave the cup of hoet coffee which he0 always shuare with miof True to ht~s custom he sent .word otit that theO coffee was readly and on occasions like thyut a cup of coffee suffices and is all I want, 20 he and I together drank to each others health-he In at tli dipper and I as guest of honor in a big thick cup-here's hop ing we may drink again next fair day. The day Was. drawing to a clos' when -I wandered in upon the faithful women a ho are -known as R l Cross workers. There was the note of sad ness in the day of pleasure-tht, re minder of the war upon which we have entered. Here were the fruit of their hands--the warm sweaters, tli: com fortable socks, the cloth that Ih' to be made up for the stricken Belgians, warda.'of the world. The ray-; of the evening sun, for the day that had entered so unlikely was drawing to a beautiful close, fell upon the faces of Laurens county folks. The l-ist piece to be Oilayed by the sand was our own national hymn, "Star Spangled Ban ner". We didn't stand at "attention' as', we ourht, but :till a- its strais reached lour ears the lre of pa triot ism filled each heart. IT:)ve of coltm try, I believe biris fierce anld -trong in the hearits o' American peopile-and when the call comes for u1s to do "our hit," whether it was to make a oily garden and men like Dunk Watts 'ent out and planted even so plebian a vegetable as a collard-whether it is buy a Liberty Bond, conserve food, help Red Cross, contribute to Y. M. C. A. work, we are there with the goods. Patriotism is not confined to sex and when the strans of that loved hymn came to my ears that choky feeling one has came to me and I burlied my head in tears. Calm and peaceful the scene before us-the cackling of geese and chickens, the fruit of the farms piled high about. us-and yet it came to us that "over yonder somewhere in France" our flag flies over t ronches where shot and shell scream. Back here at home there is it stiffening of the back, bone as calmly and deliber ately we go about fighting this war to a fliish. The eyes and the hopes of civiliztytion are upon that sacred ban ner. Dep clown in our souls we know ti hlt flag shall wave in triumph but, before that glorious hour, the fair young faces of many of our own loved boys will lie stilled, gazing upward. Our tears fall, our hearts break but God help us, there is no other way. LEWISTON, N. C., FALLS IN LINE Mrs. J. B. Saunders, residing in Lewiston, N.
