( The success of each department, I however, will depend largely upon 1 the co-operative spirit of the citizens ' of the County who have in their pos- J session items of interest and of val- ( ue, which, if shown would create new : thought and inspiration, and would I arouse desires for greater individual ' achievement in the minds of the many ' * I fair visitors who will be on hand to inspect, to learn and to enjoy the sensations of curious and untried tricks. For this reason the heads of each j department earnestly urge all who have anything of individual merit, or of unusual value, or of peculiar form, \ or worthy of special note, whether real or sentimental, to gather them ] up and send them in for exhibition. : Extraordinary enoris wiu ue mane to protect, preserve and safe guard | every* article that may be sent in and ^ there should be no reason for the loss ( or abuse of a single item. \ This Fair ought to be the best in I the history of the association, and * indications point to a big success, but regardless of what it may be, it ^ will be short in value unless it is v permeated with a spirit of co-opera- 1 tion and that Christian spirit of help- , fulness, one for the other. The Fair brings to us a great op- fc portunity, and at a time when our * county should be, whether or not it 3 is, in a state of acute tension because ^ of .the restlessness of labor and of ; boll weevil danger which has entered t our door. A problem is at hand for ( solution. None greater has ever presented itself. Times are ahead, and 1 are perhaps near at hand, which will stir the stoutest soul. The steadiest ] halld will be sought for a guide. The fair should be a field of thought, and ' e^ery citizen should assemble there. Every good cow, hog. sheep, goat. . horse, mule, foul, and evry good j specimen if field products, especial- ] ly corn, wheat, oats. peas, potatoes pinders, all forage crops, fruits and 1 vegetables should be assembled there, for the boll weevil has already ar- ] rived. Let every body send in an exhibit, or some item for exhibit, let every school or community be represented, let everybody come and let's all be happy, at least during the four days of the big WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY FAIR. EXTRAVAGANCE AND CONCEIT The man who said conceit was at the bottom of every extravagance knew a good deal about human nature. Few men would pay $4 for a tie that did not look as if it cost $4 and | the factory girls in Connecticut \vh are buying $300 fur coats on install ments out of a salary of $15 a weel would care little for such a cost i: the only place they could wear i were in an asylum for the blind. A modem philospher says. " ] conclude that dissatisfaction is i common human ailment and that might as well be unhappy with what I have as unhappy with that I can'' afford." Thousands of Americans are dis sipating their savings in extravagant purchases purely through con ceit. And it is a blind conceit which deceives no one but the extravaganl themselves. When a man goes into < store to buy a $6 hat which he car afford and comes out with a $l6hai which has forced him to break int( his savings, he does not impress the clerk who sells it or his friends wh< see him wear it. But he has injurec them all and himself also. He -ha; aided to divert production from nec essities to non-necessities, he has helped keep up prices, and has with drawn potential capital from possible use in increasing industry. For himself, he has weakened his defenses against old age, sickness and loss of employment and depleted his offensive in the battle for success. Failure to save is too high a price to pay for the pampering of conceit The only safety against extra va gance lies in thrift and savings Our Banks offer to provide the meth ads. for saving.

I was so weak my I ? knees would almost double up under I ' me and my back hurt me terribly, so I " badly that I could hardly endure the I pain. My head ached awfully, too, I ' just as badly as if I had neuralgia. I I could not eat a thing, and I seem- I ' ed to be losing strength instead of I gaining it. I "We had heard so much about Tan- I i lac that I finally decided I would I try it, and soon after I began taking I Tanlac I could tell that I was pick- I ing up right along. It gave me a fine I appetite and it seemed that I just I could not get enough to eat, and my I 1 food nourished me, so I gained I : health and strength, and I could tell I 1 every day that I was better than the I " day before. I am in good health now I ' and I feel fine and strong. The Tan- I ' lac got me in good health and I have I ; found it to be a fine medicine for my I 1 troubles.
