LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, Nov. 29.?Well, now as I go to write the first thought that comes to me is that the old year is drawing near the end. It will soon be numbered with the past. So the end of ewery one's life will come sooner o^^fter. How many cf us ever stop flo think of this, and how are we spending our lives? I read a piece in The Times some time back headed, "With Public Spirit." It was short and to the point. It mentioned our county fair held at Union; told of some fellow saying he wished it would rain out the fair. It made this writer think about. public spirit and patriotism. Now, if every one were like that fellow what sort of a country would we have? There would be no more enterprises in this county, but I am glad that we have a few public spirited men. They said they were going to try and keep alive the Union county fair. We need more men like these. I attended the county fair, both colored and white, arid enjoyed the fair. Of course i't was raining and that kept some away, but there are some who wouldn't go any-, way, it doesn't matter how pretty the weather is. Dear people, let us help to build up and not be the ones to help tear down or put obstruction in the way. Let us sacrifice a day now and then and then let us take our children to see the fair when the time comes; let them see and learn. You know "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This writer was at Lockhart Saturday; stayed at Mr. Louis J. Hames' boarding house at that place, where we always stay, and each time find Mr. and Mrs. Hames ready to meet their many friends with welcome. Mr. Hames is postmaster at Lockhart; also has bought a good farm near that place. He has a nice Ford card with a seating capacity of 10 and will carry the public at all times. He is also agent for the auto. Mr. W. G. White spent Thanksgiving day at Thickety station, in Cherokee county and reports a nice time. I met Miss Hatchette of Clifton at the Junction on her way to Mt. Joy to teach school. Also at Kelly school on Friday I met Miss Ruth Rast of Cameron. She had motored up in a car and spent the week-end with Miss Annie Kelly. I understand that these two ladies are doing great good in the Cedar Hill school. While in Spartanburg Sunday I heard an eloquent speech on "Safety f irst", by the famous impersonator, Walter Holcomb, of Nashville, Tenn. On last Friday evening the writer spent many pleasant hours in the Fair Forest community and was present for the box supper at the Fair Forest school. There were two stirring addresses made. Prof. Lake of the Gault school, made a strong plea for education in the rural districts, showigg that the spirit of the times demanded it. Miss Smith, the tomato club agent of our county, gave an interesting discussion on the needs of a Rural School Improvement association and at the close of her address succeeded in organizing one for the Fair Forest school. The remainder of the evening was spent pleasantly by the people, both old and young, in a guessmg contest, cake walk, fishing pond and auctioning off the boxes. At the close of the evening's entertainm onf Mioo 4-V?a iiiviiw mioo ui^ic, tuc ciiiticut irucner of the school, found that they had realized a nice sum of $25.00. Mr. D. C. White and Mr. T. B. Kelley spent Sunday in Spartanburg. This writer went to Spartanburg Sunday to see Mr. Joe Fowler, who has recently undergone an operation for appendicitis. I am glad to note at the present writing he is getting on well as could be expected. Misses Leila and Maud Gault and also Mr. and Mrs. Foster Farr, of Union spent Sunday in the community. Miss Florence Haney, who is teaching in Lexington county, spent the Thanksgiving holidays at home. Miss Sallie Cunningham of the Mabry school spent the holiday with her sister, Mrs. A. L. Gault. Miss Letha Gault returned today to her home in Essery Springs, Tenn. Mrs. W. C. E'd-nonds accompanied her as far as Knoxville, Tenn. Moxy. KELTON Kelton, Nov. 28.?We are having fine weather for finishing gathering our crops and sowing small grain. Many farmers are through picking cotton. many are being butchered. Thanksgiving passed off very quietly and no accidents occurred in our community. I went to town and got a Thanksgiving suit and took the early train Thursday morning for Spartanburg to see the preachers of the Upper South Carolina Conference and to hear Bishop A. W. Wilson's Thanksgiving sermon. I walked around and felt pretty big, and after services were over I chatted with some of my good friends. I boarded a car to go where I intended eating my Thanksgiving dinner. I got off the car and was walking down the street when someone called my name. I walked across the street and found a little girl of eight or nine summers. I continued my journey after leaving her. I heard one ask who I was and I heard a little girl of three or four summers say, "Oh, I thought he was Santa Claus." My feathers soon fell, but upon second thought I said to myself that child has never seen Santa Clause and her -good mother had told her Santa Claus was a right good looking fellow. G. T. G. J. B.
