The custom of sending valentines
has developed from lace-edged card,
inscribed with a tender sentiment, to
the elaborate floral designs made up
by florists, the expensive candy boxes
with valentine designs and sentiments,
and the giving of other dainty favors
with beautiful works of art in hand
painting and Autograph.
''Violets are the flowers for st. Val
entine's Day." say all the florists.
Deep purple violets made up into i'm
mense hearts, a foot and wider across,
and packed in pretty wicker or
grass basket decorated with violet rib
bons and violets. These large. boxes
and baskets are always accompanied
by valentine inscribed with a senti-
ment suitable to the degree of friend
ship existing between the giver and
the recipient of the violets.
1--WE also pack up in the same dainty
manner smaller hearts of violets and
two hearts together, pierced by gold
en- arrow. These are arranged with
ribbon loops and decorations, so that
they may be hung up
florists were called upon to make up
violet hearts, but this year the de-
mand for these is so great that orders
have had to be placed weeks in adj
vance of the day.
In accordance with an old political
idea, small wreaths of fowers-valen-
tine fioWers-are put up in dainty bas-
kets of sweet grass, broad Swedish
woven baskets, little wicker baskets

bons and a spray of satin flowers IN
the corner, or perhaps an orchid.
Violets are favorites because, in the
language of flowers, the violet signi-
fies faithfulness. Next in point OF
popularity is the red rose, signifying
love, and the forget-me-not, whose
name speaks of remembrance.
The orchid, which signifies refinement,
is not so popular as other flowers for
st. Valentines Day, but a great many
orchids are being ordered to accom-
pany handsome satin and cardboard
valentines.
Some of the florists have prepared
fancy baskets and boxes decorated with
ribbons and flowers and interviewer
with ribbons, as well as hand-painted
affairs. These sometimes have little

Cotton Root Bark.

To the Cotton Growers Of North
Carolina:
The undersigned has just received
a note from the editor of a drug
trade journal asking if any cotton
root bark is to be obtained in this
State. The present wholesale price
of cotton-root bark in New York IS
from Is to 20 cents per pound.
1t is very strange that cotton
growers with idle hands during the
winter months will permit this most
valuable part of the crop to waste in
the fields and remain as an encum-
brance to the succeeding crop.
1t is likely that in most cotton sec
tiOns, the roots now in the field are
still salable, and a very good thing
can be made out of them while wait
ing for the soil to dry. Those who
wish to gather the root-bark should
first send to the undersigned a sam
pie of one pound Of fresh root-bark
in order TO have its quality tested.
For all the good bark offered the un-
dersigned will agree to find a sale.
As the present high price may not
continue long those who wish to sell
should act promptly.
Samples may be sent by mail at
rate of s cents per pound for post
age.

Excellent People.
Progressive Farmer:

March, 1904, your correspondent
boarded the train at Graham Station
and ran up to Greensboro and
changed ears and took the G.. F. and
Y. ". Road, and ran down to Ore
Hill. Here We were met by Bro. Ma
than Dixon with horse and buggy.
and carried out to his good home.
and enjoyed a good supper. Then
we went out to a nearby school
house where we met with a sub Al
lance and proceeded to talk to them
about the benefits of organization,
ETC., and as a result of our meeting
this Alliance was doubled in mem
bership. Here we spent the night
with Bro. Joe Dixon. who is a good
Allianceman, a good farmer, and no
small man in the lumber world.
The next morning we got the coun-
ty in a row before us. and every day
for nearly two weeks. we met a crowd
of farmers at l o'clock in the day
and 7.3O at night, and our C
was simply great. Nine sub Alliances
were reorganized. and seven old ones
visited and revived and strengthened.
and Chatham County can probably
say more than any county in the
State: She has eighteen sub Al
liances in working order. with some
of them numbering more than sixty
members. We can but say, Hurrah
for old Chatham!
We are greatly indebted to r. II.
Dixon, the County Lecturer, for the
many kindnesses shown us. Bob"
as he is familiarly called. is a plumb
good fellow. You only have to know
him to love him. He is a broad
minded, broad-shouldered, big-heart-
ed, Christian gentleman. And there
is the Rev. Lem Dixon. He is one
of the most progressive, popular
preachers in the Sandy Creek Asso-
citation. We spent one night at his
beautiful home, greatly to our enjoy
ment. And then there is the Rev.
0. T. Edwards, our old pastor. We
learned to love and honor and re-
spect him long ago. He aided US
greatly in our work. Brother Ed
