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.
