Liberty St Fall Festival At Finewood Plans Being Made For Com? munity Fair and Annexation Celebration The Plnewood, and Fulton and Calvary townships sections of Cl?ren- ! don that voted Into Sumter county on September 7th are evidently Interested In the approaching Sumter County Fair November lith to 19th, and are about to accept the invitation of the Sumter County Chamber of Commerce to participate largely in 1his fall's fair. A meeting will soon be held at 1 Plnewood to settle the question Oi how that section will particlate In the conn- ! ty fair, and to what extent, ii any. Professor w.*o. Tatuin. Jiv. superin? tendent/of the Pincwood graded and high school, and president of the Plnewood Community Fair, has writ? ten to Secretary Ronrdon and asked about the advisability of holding the 1920 Plnewood Community Fair if that section decides to enter as a part of the Sumter County Pair, or whether to go ahead and hold the 1920 community fair and then bring the community fair exhibits io the Sumter ? ounty fair. Mr. Reardon has suggested that Pincwood hold its annual commun? ity fair by all means, and participate in the Sumter county fair immediate? ly following the community fair. He has offered the cordial and active CO- ! operation of the Sumter County Chamber of Commerce in getting up \ the community fair, advertising same, j getting Sumter business houses ai\d ( manufacturing establishments to make exhibits, offer premiums, and has guaranteed a big crowd from Sumter. 1 It is proposed to make a combination event of the community fair by hold-, itig a big celebration in honor of Plnewood and Immediate vicinity hav? ing voted to join Sumter county, and to pull off a big ' get together Pine wood Sumter County" gala day. The j ouniter business establishments will j V requested to o'ose for a half holiday at least and for all Sumter and Sum* tei county people to gather together at ? inewood for a big time, celebra? tion, plenty to eat, and plenty of fine n uslc, basket ball games, musical program, and a general big time. The dsite has not been been set. but it looks like a Mg time aheud for Sumter and Pincwood iix the near future. The progressive and public spirited men gnd women, boys and girls of Plnewood and the 9u square miles re? cently voting to Join this county are very proud of their victory in getting such an overwhelming majority in fa? vor of annexation to Sumter eounty, and they seem determined to get into the closesi possible touch with the af? fairs and institutions of Sumter and at the earliest possible moment. Sumter county is proud of acquiring this new territory and its splendid citizens and the Suqiter Chamber of Commerce will be 'on the job" from now on to make our new fellow citizens realize that Sumter "is a good place to visit, a better place to live, the best place for you." If Pincwood decide* to hold its an? nual community fair which is a splen? did exhibition in every respect, the Sumter Chamber of Commerce will lake this community fair under its wing ami help to put it over in the greatest possible and most creditable shape, although Pincwood people do not need much help In doing things as they are among the most progres? sive and up to date people in the south. The business establishments of Sumter will be there with exhibits and offerings of substantialtial preYniuins. and other cooperative activities.

County Nurse Needed Miss Mamie Chandler, Red Cross Secretary, Says Need is Urgent One of the many things that Sum tor county needs und needs hadl? is a comity nurse to cure for the sick and unfortunate in all parts of the county. Since the resignation of Mrs. Stroup, the county has been without a muse, and the work has fallen largely on Miss ("handler, local secretary for the 'lied Cross. Miss chandler lias been in all parts of the county in her visits and she tells of some very serious cases that she lias encountered. There are many people living in one room houses with poor ventilation and the conditions in these houses are very bad. The dirt and filth Is unbearable and the people seem to have no I knowledge of sanitation and hygiene. | The children are dirty and are al- | lowed to run around In rags and tin- ' less something is done at once, they ' will grow up to be a menace to the [ community. In some places Miss Chandler has found sickness and has- been forced to do bedside nursing, though not trained for this work. The county j needs a nurse to visit these? homes to 1 dp necessary nursing and above***nll, I to teach them how to take care of I themselves and their children. Miss Chandler has appeared before tin County Hoard of Commissioners in regard to the matter but was inform? ed that Ihe county would have no funds for this work until the next session of the legislature and even then it would take action by the local representatives to ^'ct the money. Now Is the ime for the citizens ofl ! the county to let the representatives know they wart a nurse and must have I her. and in the meantime cooperate' With Miss Chandler and others in] caring for these people.

Kdmund.*.' Lecture to Mothers' Club. . The Mothers' club met informally September 9 at the Girls' high school, it 5 o'clock. After a few minutes Dr. Kdmunds addressed the members on A Mother's Duties to Her Home and Country." He seemed to consider a mother's chief duty to her state that >f giving it good citizens through ef? forts on her part for character build? ing. ,He discussed at length three cardinal virtues: Consideration, obe? dience, reverence. It was Utting that he began his dis? cussion with consideration, both for the sake of the acrostlic. and also be DOUas consideration as a virtue can in no other way be obtained than through the individual's own heart und ideals. "Cbedlencei within it aelf," Dr. ftdmunds says, "is com? paratively easy to obtain." However, he .iwelt it length on the fact that the kind Of education that makes real men and women requires no external force. Aeqi ired as a virtue children obey of their own free will and ac? cord whether our wishes are expressed >r implied. Reverence1 is the chief joy and pow? er of life?reverence for what is pure md bright in our youth, for what is true and tried in the age of others, lor all that Is gracious among the liv? ing, great among the dead, and mar? velous in the power that can not die. Dr. Edmunds closed his* remarks by commending the spirit that prompted the organization of a Mothers' club in Su inter. His next address will be given Thursday, September 10, 1920 at 4:30 o'clock on "Sensation and Percep? tion." This subject should be of in? terest to any woman whether a moth? er or not. Any one interested is in? vited to attend the lecture. Secretary Mothers' Club. i Civic League Notes.
