l
 This is the last day of the flower showl
 Tonight at midnight the doors will close. and the largest, best and by far the hand- somest flower show will come to an end.
 This. the third exhibition of the kind,
 has proven a success beyond the expec- | tation of the most sanguine. not only in
 attendance, but in floral display. The ex- l hibit of chrysanthemums and other flow l CTS made by MT. and Mrs. J. P. Stiles, | Mrs. J. O. Cross, Mrs. John London. MT. | Lindsay, MT. Williamson and others is hhe finest ever seen In our city. while the | palms, ferns and bezonas exhibited by | Mrs. J. w. Barclay Mrs. Erswell. Mrs. | c. Il. Reed, MT. Lindsay and Mr. Will Hanson would do infinite credit to much l larger and older city than ours
 CfoWdS thronged the room yesterday | and last night and the reffeshment and l other tables were remarkably we'll pat ronized. The ladies in charge of the flow l CT show have been the recipients of many | generous courtesies from our citizens. MT. | Joe Frank donated yesterday three splen- 1 did cakes, carrying them himself to the | ladies. The substantial luncheon pre- | pared for one of the Chicago parties, and l which could not be served as intended | owing to belated trains, was carried to | the noWer show as the gift of the gen l tlemen composing the committee appoint l ed to look after our Chicago visitors This | iuiiCh was Il HndSnlllcenC one, elaborate | and tempting, and was most grate- 1 fully received by the ladies' Gen. I Rufus N. Rhodes was largely in-
 strumental in securing this exceed l ingly generous donation, and the thanks l of the ladies are gratefully extended to | him and every member of the committee. 1 No doubt this morning, afternoon and l evening the flower show will be crowded 1 with persons eager to see the very finest
 floral exhibit ever made in Birmingham.
 To miss it is to lose forever one of the
 most beautiful sights of lifetime. 1 Mrs. J. H. Bankhead left yesterday at | noon for Jasper to visit her son, MT. l.
 II. Bankhead, Jr.
