Our attention bas been called io Hie tai l thal all over Oconee tin" lau relative to ibo use of barbed wire for fencing is bei- ;; ignored. The law is very plain on ibis subject and the penally quite severe. We quote tl.e law here for the Information ol' hos? who use barbed wire for rout ing along public roads: "Sec. IVO (Griminal Cod?'?. All persons or corporal ions using a barbed or edged wir?' fence within fifty feel of any public highway shall nail or place a plank or pole on or muir the lop of said fen??': Pro1 bled. That Hie said plank or pole be not required when there is such au em bankment al tin? side of the road as shall, in Hie judgment of the road overseer of such road, render it safe from injury t?> stock traveling said road without such plank or pole bib ing on said fence. All persons vio lating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misde meanor, ami on conviction thereof shall he punished by a tine of not exceeding one hundred dollars, or i m prison men I not exceeding thirty days." Exposed barbed fences ar?? exceed ingly dangerous, and il would be well for our people all over Hie coun ty to look toward a closer compli ance with the law. Tile use ol' sud', wire is aol- prohibited ex? ?'pl within Hf ty feel of the publie highways.

Seneca, July 24.-Special: To those who were formerly connected with the "Oconee Floral Associa tion." and to those more recently as sociated with the Flower Show, held last fall, under the auspices of the Seneca Civic Association, we beg to announce that tho Civic Association has again assumed the responsibility of having a dower show this fall. Oc tober 2 8-20 are th? dates fixed for this exhibit. After a htpse of. several years the "mantle" of responsibility has lallen I rom th?' Oconee Floral Association upon the shoulders of those who, a i few years ago organized "The Seneca , Civic Association," and have been j doing a noble work for Seneca. "You may break, you may shailer, tho vase, if you will, lint the smell of the rose will hang 'round it still." We lind the truth of those lines in the recollections of the old Floral Association. Very precious aro the memories ol" those days, and the pre miums, mementoes, etc.. are still held ?n high regard. The Civic Association ls not blow ing a big horn, bul is working care fully and with a determination lodo much toward the -.*lift ol' Seneca. only a few days ago one of our citizens was heard to say that Seneca was beautifully kept (streets, yards, otc), as compared with one of our j sister towns across the Georgia line. II was remarked that perhaps Ihul Mown had no chic organization. Let us hope that every citizen nt Seneca and the surrounding country will join with us in the effort to build ;i clean and healthy town, and willi the influences which must come from . Hie annual Mower show, make a benu ! tittil town and country also. We desire to say thal thc entry lisi is open to every citizen in Oco noo comity, and von are earnestly I*P ,.. ?Ii ii io take part and make your self roll in Hie exhibits.

Keep this in mind; keep Ihi' Mower show in mind; study tim list of exhibits, premiums, etc.. and go to work lo win.
