Owens, Passed By City , i Council For Her Good Work. j i The City Council of Abbeville, feel- j i ing sure that the flower beds in front j < of the city hall are the most beauti-1; ful in the State and that their beauty ; i i is enjoyed by the rich and poor alike, 1 that they cause many kind and pleas-; < ant words to be spoken about the , 1 City of Abbeville and add much to i v- her reputation as a clean, beautiful ! l and progressive city and i Whereas, we feel that the artistic | j taste displayed in the selection of i flowers and the work necessary to t make these beds the things of beauty i that they are, is entirely due to th-3 1 interested, loving and patient work i of Mrs. M. C. Owens, the Chairman t of the Civic Club committee. 1 Therefore, be it resolved, by the City Council of Abbeville, That we ? have heard with deep regret that Mrs 4 Owens has resigned from such chair- c manship. i Resolved further, That we wish to j? extend to her the thanks of the Coun- j s cil for her untiring and painstaking > care of the flowers and Further:?That the City Council, wishes for Mrs. Owens a speedy res- j tcration to her accustomed good j "1 health and good spirits and that the ^ council will hold her efforts in behalf ! of beautifying our city in grateful j appreciation and remembrance.
