Ttie First Flower Show In OafTney Resplen dent with a Magnificent Collection of Choice IMants—Premiums were Awarded and a Neat Sum of Money Realised. “In Eastern lands they talk In flowers, And tell in a garland their loves and cares; Each blossom that blooms In their garden bowers. On its leaves a mystic language bears." Not alone in Eastern oouotnesdo flowers shed a mystic influence arouuo them or their ‘words of love instill,” but throughout the broad universe. There is a daintiness about them that touches one like poetry. They blow out with such a simple loveltn-ss among the common herbs of the field and breathe their lives so unobtrusively, “like hearts whose beatings ere too gentle for this world,” that one is led to wonder If they havs not a special mission on earth—a special influence designed bv tne Creator for a good purpose. No one who cares for flowers is with out some good in his heart.—some love for Him who created them. The sight of them in all their pur ity and a breath of their soft perfume tends to soften the heart and infuse in us a longing to share with them their purity and fragrance. The scent of a rose often has the power to call up memories that have long been burn din the deepest recesses of the heart and to carry the soul back in retrospection through the shadowy aisles of the past to sunny scenes and happy hours when the “flower of love” was just b ginning to blossom in the heart. No arrangement for the gathering of youth and pleasure is complete without flowers to adorn the room and cast their subtle influence over the gay throng; the bride pre paring for her appearance before Hymen’s altar seeks the most bean- tiful of flowers with which to adorn her person the gloom of the captive’s cell is dispelled by the presence of flowers; the suffering in the hospital ward is ameliorated by their aweet incense; the bier is decked with the choicest selections from the flower ga- den—the last sad tribute that loving hearts can pay to departed dear ones, and the grave is covered with them as though their “mystic language” might be conveyed to the loved one In the spiritual world. Verriy, their influence is great! These sentiments were inspired by the ‘flower show” in the Star Thea tre Friday and Friday night, ar ranged by the ladies of the Presby terian church. The exhibition was lovely beyond expression. To at tempt to describe the gorgeons col lection ae a whole^would be useless]! and to discriminate would be a rank njuatice. The entire stage was cov ered with the finest collection of chrysanthemums, roses, geraniums and ferns that a southern clime could produce and the effect was beautiful to behold—at night the soft glow of the electric lights added a charm that was really enchanting, ulling the aenaes to sweet repose and alluring the mind into the soft and dreamy realms of fairyland. The show was a success viewed from every standpoint, and the ladies con nected with it are justly proud of their achievement. They are quite enthusiastic over thie, their first' at tempt, and are determined to make their next exhibition a still greater success in every feature. The premiums offered for the best exhibits were awarded aa follows: The best single chrysanthemum, Mrs. W. W. Gaffney; the best collec tion white chrysanthemums, Mrs. H. Wheat; the best collection of yel- ow chrysanthemums, Mrs. W. W. Gaffoey; the best collection of reo chrysanthemums, Mrs. J. C. Ratliff; the best general collection of chrya- anthemums, Mrs. H. D. Wheat; the )est single fern, Miss Christine Goudelock; the best plant, geranium, klrs. J. C. Jefferies; the best collec tion of roses, Mrs. J. C. Jefferies. The hours of the exhibit were en- ivened by vocal and instrumental music and a few short speeches by some of the male element present The program was read by Mr. &. F. Parrott and the winners of nremiums were announced by Mr. Ed. H. De- Camp. To these, to the exhibitors, and to the ladies, and others, who rendered valuable service in arrang ing the display, the managers of the exhibition desire to tender their most sincere thanks. They are especially grateful to Mr. Harry C. Knox, the urbane and accommodating manager of the Star Theatre, for hie generosi ty and many kindnesses shown them throughout the occasion. Quite a neat little sum was realized from the show and the sale of confec tioneries and refreshments. . General Orffsnlser ConnoUy Her*. Robert E. L. Connolly, second vice- president and genural organizer of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, with head quarters at Birmingham, Ala., wi.siu the city several days last week. Mr. Connolly is a pleasant and intelligent gentleman who talks entertainingly of his organization. He, together with a number of the local carpenters called at The Ledger office Friday afternoon. Friday night the local Union held a meeting at which time Mr. Connolly addressed them. He left 8aturday for other points. We hope to have Mr. Connolly visit us again. Limestone College. Limestone College, one of the best, we believe the best college for the education of women in the State, is full to overflowing of pupils. The Winnie Davis Hall of History has been finished, the Mariah Louisa Woodruff Infirmary is complete, but the steadily increasing patronage calls for more room. The friends of the College must move again for other buildings. Let them come from all over the State this time and build them. The Kate Montgomery Library must have a building. A Science Hall is needed and more dormitories are imperatively required. Piedmont Springe Water on the Mark et.
