The press censorship at Manila was re-
moved several weeks ago. and the absence
OF any startling disclosures from that
quarter of the globe leads to the conclu-
sion that the censorship was not so rigor-
GUS as tho yellow journals declared 1t to
be. There does not seem to be any more
details furnished the press, now that cor
respondents are free to send anything they
please. than when they had to submit their
dispatches to the blue pencil Of the mill
tary censor. 1t Is mistake to enforce
even the mildest censorship. unless In case
Of military movements. the knowledge OF
which might be communicated to the
enemy through the press dispatches. The
cable censorship at Manila is undoubtedly
justified by the necessity for keeping a
close watch on the communications be-
tween the Fllipinos and their agents
abroad. but there has never been any good
reason given for the maintenance of the
press censorship.

Inspired by the receipt of some verses
which the young lady writer said we're
suggested By the arrival OF an unusually
large number Of girl babies In the COM
munity. Missouri editor proposes an In
novation upon the custom Of printing
obituary poems by heralding the arrival
OF youngsters into this world OF sorrow
In rhyme 1t is certainly as proper as to
announce his departure later in life that
way. Without any particular reference
to any one In town, the editor offers the
following example for consideration:
From church towers bell sweet notes out
ring
The happy songbirds merry tones,
All greeting give, the joyous message
bring
There's a bran-new kid at Jones'.
OF course these announcements will cost
little mere. particularly in those cases
where the editor is required to furnish the
poetry. but on joyful occasions OF this
kind money Is no object.

NEARLY EASTER LILY TIME.
They Are Popular and 50 Are Carnations amp
violets.

Within ID week or two, the beautiful
Easter lily will be the reigning flower
in Augusta: hundreds of the fragrant
blossoms are now being carefully tend
ed in the floral establishments in this
vicinity for the usual large sale. Hun
dreds and hundreds of the plants are
sales. for nearly every home has at
least one lily on Easter morning.
The plants have been rushed in the
hothouses and now they are going
through the chilling process which con-
sists of placing them in gradually low
ering temperatures so that when the
exhibition time comes. the seemingly
delicate flowers will be able to stand
even cold atmospheres.
Lily sales are increasing each season
and the supply which will be brought
out before very long will be greater
than ever before.
Everybody will buy lilies.
Although the lily is at present claim
ing the attention of the growers. the
ever popular carnation is receiving the
usual amount of attention: the pink is
perhaps the most popular flower and
the best seller all the year round and in
the spring and summer the sales are
larger than those Of any other blossom.
But the pink is standard article and
throughout all the seasons. the florists
keep houses Of the sweet plants in
| bloom.
Pinks are even greater favorites than
roses for bouquets. that is for ordinary
| occasions. for the blossoms last longer
than roses and being the great IA
! vorites that they are. they are pre-
ferred many people.
And then they cost much less and
smell as sweet. ,--

many lovers as half the other flowers
