three negroes in that county few days ago
shall be severely punished. One man has al
ready been indicted and other indictments
will follow. In his charge to the grand jury

duty as see it and have no fear. Isaid before

THERE IS a movement on foot in many Ger
man cities to stimulate interest in the decora-
ton of houses. Prizes are given for the finest
effects obtained with flowers displayed and
much is expected in the way of frightening

business thoroughfares more attractive by the
use of flowers in windows. There are some strik-
ing object lessons of that kind in Toronto, Ont.

degree of business ability to take deep inter-
est in flowers and the identifying of cities.
