IF the story told by Will Ander-
son, colored Is correct there ought to
be but little difficulty In locating the
twenty dollars advertised by him In
todays issue Of THE ENQUIRER as be-
ing lost. He says that Negro woman
saw a white man pick the money up
and heard the white man remark, that
he wished he knew Of some way OF
finding the owner" It Is very likely,
therefore that the advertisement will
come to the notice Of the finder Of the
money. Anderson had received the
money only short time before 1t was
lost in part payment for bale of cot

At a meeting of the Floral Society
OF the Ladies of the Presbyterian
church, the president, Mrs. J. ]. Hun

that the coming chrysanthemum show
should in no wise fall shor& Of the ex-

Committees on refreshments, decora-
tions and entertainment were appoint
ed. In a general way the arrange

be the same. The date, Of course, must
be fixed later according to the devel-
opment of the flowers. 1t Is hoped
there will be more exhibits this year,
and all growers are urged to strain
every nerve to bring their NUNS to
the highest point Of perfection be-
tween now and the time for the show.
