in charge of Jerome lloffer and ho
was fortunate in having two speakers
?tho first of whom was the newly arrived
Methodist minister, the Roverlend
Henry Collins, whose recent pastorate
was in Charleston. The minister
said on account of some confusion
he preferred to be known as Henry
Collins and thereby drop the middle

war veteran, lie spoke very feelingly.
The speaker knew his subject and
delivered it very masterfully and received
n big hand.
The second section of the prog .a m

who spoke of the roll call of tho
American Red Cross and Its drive

Andersons at Anderson
Rev. If. D. Anderson, who is supplying
the Camden Baptist church
during the illness of Rev. J. B. Cas1011,
was a visitor at the state Baptist
convention held in Anderson last
week. He was accompanied by Mrs,
Anderson. Friends of the popular
pastor, Rev. J. B. Caston, will be glad
to know that he is improving from a
throat ailment which has confined him
to his homo and hospitals in different
cities under the care of specialists.
It may be some time before he
will be able to resume his duties in
the pulpit. Up to this time physicians
advise that however much tho
ill pastor would love to see members
of his congregation and other friends
It might mitigate against his recovery.
Camden Garden Notes
Spring flowering crocus is now
available in many varieties and colors,
including white, cream primrose and
deep yellow.
This interesting little flower which
appears so early in the spring is now
being planted in quantity by many
gardeners in their grass lawns. The
crocus should be Interesting to us
because of its cheapness. A garden
full can be had for very little money.
Obviously, the named sorts are more
expensive than the unamed owes.
However, thoso sold as unnamed
crocuses are generally varieties which
have become mixed in digging or
sorting operatives and are in no way
Inferior bulbs.
Crocuses may be planted at this
time and if the lawn lias already become
established the turf should bo
carefully taken off, the soil below
chopped up and several pounds of
bone meal mfxed with each square
yard of surface, the bulbs planted and
the sod carofully relaid.?Elizabeth
Baum, Camden Garden Club Publlcty.
