FLOWERS AND FLOWER LOVERS

The first gathering of the clan of Montgomery hower-lovers nd flower growers took place last Wednesday morning at the home of Mrs. R. P. Stout on South Union street. Here was spent a morning of enthusiasm and charm.
 As the many beautiful rose-crowded gardens will testify, there are many men and women of Montgomery to whom, to grow flowers, is a thing Of interest and love. Some few of these decided to meet together and plan some organization among themselves, which could hold regular meetings and dis cuss the dos and dont's of flo. icuitur ..
 At the first meeting last Tcdnesday morning, Mrs. w. A. Gayle was made temporary chairman, and the organi- zation assumed definite fcSm. name for this charming new club will be de- cided upon at the next meeting. This meeting will be held at the Carnegie Library on the first day of ...nuary. 1907. A most cordial invitation is ex- tended to all of MontgomerY's fower- lovers.
 For the past three years tkere have been held flower or chry1anthemum shows. the proceeds of which are reg uIarly used for the settlement work being carried on in West End. It is the ambition of this new O. organization to have a much larger and more va- ried exhibition of me-grown plants and flowers at the flower show next fall.
 In a climate such as ours, there the Violets begin to bloom in late January and roses are picked from the gardens to place on the Christmas dinner ta- ble; surely wonderful results ought to be attained.
 One of the ladies at the meeting said that she had kept a recor1 for, one week of her rose bed in its prime. Each day she cut not less than 300 roses and on Saturday of that week she cut 800 Truly ours is a city where the roses grow and grow; where the spring Is a riot and the fall only dust-haze or shattering rose leaves.
 An object of interest to the enthu- siastic amateur gardeners ~lthered at Mrs Stout's, was a brass s1rdinere filled that morning with glorious chry- santhemums This zowl was the prize of the Chrysanthemum Show of 1906, which was won by Mrs. Stout.
 Among those who enrolled their names for membership are MT. and Mrs. w. A. Gayle, MT. and Mrs. R. P. Stout, Mir. and Mrs. c. R. Clark, Miss E. NJ. Bullock, Mrs. J. Lewis Cobbs, Dr. and Mrs. Glenn Andrews, Dr. and Mrs. B. J. Baldwin. Mir. and Mrs. M. c. Scott. MT. c. l.. Floyd, MT. and Mrs. G. w. Craik. Mrs. Victor Hanson, Miss Jean Craik. Miss Hur ter, MT. and Mrs. Key, Mrs. R. T. Aldworth, Miss Lizzie Wright, MT. and Mrs Ed Gay, Mrs. F. B. Fiske, Mir M. B. Houghton, Mir. and MrsI Frank Young and Mrs. H. H. Barnes of Myrtle.
 It is hoped that many others will attend the next meeting.

 Several years ago he sold the plant to ]. c. Adler of this city, who retain ed Mir. Nunnelee as It's editor. He has guided the editorial policy of the pa per most successfully during the four teen years that he has been its edi- tor, and its powers in matters pertain ing to political affairs and to the up- building of Selma has been widely felt and Sar reaching.
 As to what Editor Nunnelee will do in the future, is best expressed in an editorial from his pen which will ap- pear in The Times Sunday. morning. The editorial is as follows:
 . To Retire January First.
 The fact that the present editor of The Times will retire from the head of this paper having become public property in order to keep from hav- ing to answer so many questions, we will state that it is a fact. On that date we will go down to Mobile. in com pany with our son, take a vessel and sail across the Gulf to Tampa.
 From there we will saunter leisure- ly down the coast, stopping at Arcadia, Punta Gorsa, Fort Myers, Naples and will probably go as far south as Key West. We are going down there for the purpose of locating our son on some pretty little orange grove, where he can go to woKk and grow up with the country! After spending a month or two in the Land of Flowers we will return to Selma, our home, and will then decide what our future course will be.
 This step will be taken after mature deliberation. Nature is warning us that we are not equal to the mental and physical tasks of getting out daily pa per the size of this, day in and day out all the time during all the local and editorial work. and unless we quit the paper 1t will quit us one of these

Stole Pair of Trouserr.

About September 20 some one broke into the cleaning and pressing estab- lishment of Branchie Burnett, a ne- gro, on Water Street. From the place there was stolen a pair of trousers. At the time it was believed that a negro boy named will Chambers was guilty of burglary. but nothing could be prov en and no arrest was made.
 few days ago the police depart ment saw the young negro, Will Cham bers, on the street wearing the pair of pants which had been stolen from Bur nett's place of business. The negro was arrested and this morning was tried in Police Court. The theft was poven to have been committed by him and he was bound over in the sum of $500 to await the action of the next grand jury.
