know what sort of an advertisement

would be considered?that not a fick

respectfully referred, without com?

ST. JOSEPH'S ACADEMY.
A Few Words In Commendation of
the ljtwii Festival to Be Held Octo?
ber 14th.
The Sisters of St. Joseph's Acad?
emy are arranging to give a Lawn
Festival on the grounds of the acad?
emy on the afternoon and evening of
October 14th, for the purpose of rais?
ing funds for making needed Improve?
ments and repairs on the buildings
of the Academy.
St. Joseph's Academy Is not only
the oldest educational Institution in
Sumter, but is one of the oldest col?
leges for women in the State. Within
the more than forty years the school
has been In existence It has accom?
plished a world ot good for Sumter
and South Carolina, having educated
and fitted for the responsibilities of
life several thousand young women.
This work has been done so quietly
and unostentatiously that few realize
the widespead and beneficent influ?
ence that this Institution has exercised
here and elsewhere. Sumter owes
St. Joseph's Academy a debt of grati?
tude for the great good it did In keep?
ing alive the educational spirit in the
dark days immediately following the
war by affording a place where the
daughters of a war Impoverished peo?
ple could obtain an education amid
reflned and Christain influences.
Throughout all these years St. Jo?
seph's has given much and asked lit?
tle of the people of Sumter. and, for
this reason, it should be not only n
pleasure but it should be regarded as
the discharging of a duty for the peo?
ple of the community to assist the
Sisters in every way in their power to
make the Lawn Festival a success
and the financial returns therefrom
large. It Is not much that Is asked,
but if everybody will attend the Fes?
tival It will eb a success and the hope
of the Sisters will be realized?suffi?
cient money will be raised to make
the improvements that they so greatly
need for the successful continuance of
the good work to which their lives
and the Academy are devoted.

vertising the sale of such property.
The law says that the 8herlff shall
post notices of all such sales at three
public places, one of which shall be

wore posted of the sale today. For
that matter. It has been years since

in office having contented themselves
with Inserting the notices of sale in a
newspaper the specified number of
times.
