The Souls of Flowers mingle in happy union in the exquisite perfumes we carry. Scents are as difficult to blend into Hr harmony as sounds. It takes almost as high an order of ability to make true perfumes as is required to write good music. No wonder so much of the perfume offered is rank, flat and unsatis- c factory.

Blacksburg, Oct. 6.—A singing convention was held in the Baptist church here Sunday, with the choirs from Grover, Antioch and Blacksburg participating. On account of the threatening weather in the morning, and the lateness of the train, only a portion of the Bethlehem choir came and they sang with thej Grover choir The services began at 10 o’clock, lasting until four, with an hour’s in termission at noon for dinner. In the afternoon Rev. T. H. Mullinax gave a very interesting talk on music in which be explained how important it was for every one to learn to sing well, as good singing was essential to divine worship. The music was ex cellent and was all so well rendered that it would have been hard to de cide which choir did the best singing. Each choir had a very capable leader who understoood music, and this nat urally contributed much to the suc cess of the singing. The leaders are Mr. A. M. Bridges, of Blacksburg, Mr. J. A. Ellis, of Grover, and Mr. C. P. Gardiner, of Antioch. Mr. Rush Dover ably assisted the organists, Miss May Shiver and Messrs. Gar diner and Dixon, with the cornet, which he played very skillfully. A large crowd was in attendance and every one seemed to thoroughly en joy the beautiful hymns that were sung and went away feeling better for having gone. The conventioa de cided to have its next meeting at Bethlehem church the first Sunday in December. Mrs. Clarence Stuart, of St. Mat thews, is visiting her mother, Mrs. A. M. Bridges. Miss Eugenia Tinsley, of Spartan burg, will teach music in the graded school this year. Miss Tinsley grad uated in music from Converse College and comes highly recommended. Mr. and Mrs. H. A.

Whisonant spent a few days in Charlotte last week. Mrs. W. L. King has been confined to her bed for several days with ton- silitis. A party of young people took in the fair at Charlotte Friday. A series of services will commence at the Baptist church next Sunday. The pastor will be assisted by Rev. A. C. Cree, of Gaffney. Mr. George Blanton, of Shelby, spent a few hours in the city Sunday. Mr. J. L. Clift has returned home after spending several days in the city. GENUINE EXCURSIONS. Metropolitan IMeasure for Everybody who Attends the Circus. Nearly every one living in this community will doubtless want to visit Spartanburg on Friday, October 17th when the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers’ great consolidated shows, comprising double circus, double menageries, double museums, double hippodromes, will appear there. These great shows are the only ones that exhibit in New York city. No others dare even attempt to exhibit in the metropolis. They opened this season at the Madison Square Garden in New York, and the newspapers, without exception, stated that it was the greatest circus this country had ever seen. The mena geries contain the greateet number of rare wild beasts ever seen in one col lection. In the circus there are 300 star performers, and in addition to all the standard circus acts there are a score or more of sensational fea tures. There is not space to enumer ate them here, but prominent among tfiem may be mentioned the world- famous Diavolo, who performs the exceptionally wonderful feat of loop ing the loop on a bicycle, an act which has astonished the world; then there is Minting, the nnicycle marvel, the famous Aurora Zouaves, wonderfully drilled soldiers; Dallie Julian, the renowned equestrienne; twenty-three champion bareback riders; Starr, the shooting star, and the ten Peerless Potters, world’s greatest aerialists, and numerous other great features. All lines of travel will offer especially low rates of fare and provide all necessary ac commodations for the throngs who wish to go to see them. The agent of these lines of travel will furnish all necessary information as to time of trains and rates of fare. There is one thing certain, and that is that these excursion arrangements will enable .people who live here t^ see identi- oaliy the same show and the only one that is seen by those who live in the metropolis.

Beaidsa trs* Men Who Fought for the Union There Are Tens of Thousand* of Visitors Present to Participate In the Festivities. Washington, Oct. 6.—■The men who fought for the union in the great con flict that raged from 1861 to 1863 are the gueata of the capital of the nation today. They came, thousands strong, to par ticipate in the thirty-sixth encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, the opening ceremonies of which oc curred today and were greeted by bright skies, a beautifully decorated city and hospitable people. The vis itors already are counted by the tens of thousand's, and trains are arriving hourly with their loads of human freight to be added to the throng. A noticeable feature is the presence of a great many young folks among the out-of-town people. The city with its lavish decorations never looked more attractive than to day. There scarcely is a building on the principal streets that is not fes tooned with the national colors, and many of the stands and vehicles on the streets are similarly decorated. The streets have been specially cleaned In preparation for the event, and everything is in apple-pie order for the veteran*. The program for the day includes an auto parade, a re gatta on the Potomac, the dedication of Camp Roosevelt, a monster camp fire at Convention hall and a grand display of fireworks tonight. One of the interesting events of the day was the automobile parade In which many handsomely decorated ve- hides participated. The start was made at 10 o’clock from Scott Circle and the line extended for many blocks* Headed by a large automobile contain ing a band, the procession moved slow ly down town, and those in the more attractively decorated machines were applauded by the throngs along th* sidewalks. After passing through the principal streets the parade wa* reviewed by several cabinet officers and invited guests In the Judges stand erected near the White House. The George W. Cook fife and drum crops, of Denver, Ool., one of the most famous organizations of its kind !» the country, arrived today. The band, accompanied by its founder, Gen eral George W. Cook, who was a drum mer boy In the civil war, serenaded President Roosevelt at the temporary white house. At the postofflee de partment the postmaster general and assistant postmaster general gave an informal reception to the band’s men. WHERE WOMEN WILL RULE.
