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.

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

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.
The Piedmont Springs Co. has be
gun to place the Piedmont water on

and using it are ^aa loud in their
praises of it as those who have been
drinking it right out of tbs springs
for several seasons.
Paul V. Gaffney is at the head of
the Piedmont Springs company. He
knows the virtues of the Piedmont
thSprings water, and will demonstrate
emto the [public and make the bus
iness of the company a success.

BE READY
FOR COUGHS*
It’s letting disease fasten
itself that kills. Danger
ous possibilities lutk in
every neglected Cough or
Cold. Most things are
easily cured if taken in
time, especially Throat and
Lung troubles.
Dr. Wofford’s Expector
ant wilt cure a Cough as
quickly as it should be
cured. It does not dry it
up or drug it away. It is
a Vegetable remedy that
builds up and strengthens,

It can’t get firmly seated if
you have this remedy at
hand.
