cess OF the enterprise and more than q
hundred ranging in age from q very
few months to six years have been
entered.
The committee did their utmost TO

will be understood that all the children
in Laurens under elk years of age are
cordially invited to take part 10 the
Baby Show, whether or no. the
Mothers have been seen in person by
members of the committee.
When the children arrive at the gate

cording to age. They will all be num-
bered and known by their numbers
not by their names. 1t is hoped that

1T 1t should rain the show will be
postponed until the next afternoon at
the same hour.
QFour prizes will be given as follows
