AN ocoNEE COUNTY ENTERPRISE.

The movement to secure funds to erect
q Confederate monument is by no means
a movement by or far Walhalla. 1t was
years ago, and membership in the Monu-
ment Association is held in all parts of
the county.
The ladies of Walhalla have recently
begun again active work. toward raising
the funds to erect monument to the
Confederate soldiers of this county, and
they wish the help and assistance of every
wish 1t, but they need it and must have
1t II they secure the amount necessary to
erect monument that will adequately
express the feeling of gratitude and love
tor the soldiers who went from this
county to struggle through long years of
battle and hardships for the cause of the
Confederacy.
An incident that occurred in Walhala
while the ladies were serving dinner to
help the cause is worthy of place here
to show how the efforts of the ladies are
regarded. Walking to the door Of the
building where dinner was being served,
ltev. III. G. Grossman was attracted to
the picture hanging there of Robt. f.
Lee, Stonewall Jackson an others. promi-
nent in the service of the Confederacy.
Mr.. Grossman saw three years of service
under the Stars aud Stripes, but he is
ready to take off his hat in honor of the
mon vho followed the Stars and Bars.
"Tho man who cannot cheerfully and
gladly walk up and lend a hand to assist
in honoring the men who followed Lee
and Jackson" he said, "has no patriot
ism in his makeup" This from man
who wore the blue and faced the men
in grey during three years.
How long would it take to erect this
monument to the Confederate soldiers of
Oconee If this same spirit predominated
in the heart of each one of us? Let US
not lag behind. From now until the work
is finished let us work earnestly and con.
stantly and with that unity that will not
and cannot be stayed.
The Walhalla members of the associa-
tion have made good beginning. We
ask the ladies of the other towns of the
county-Seneca, Westminster, Madison,
Fair Play, Townville, Oakway, Newry,
West Union, Richland-each aud ALTO
join heartily in the work and use their
ingenuity and good judgment in helping
the cause. Certainly each town, each
citizen should feel deep interest and
pride in the efforts to honor the men
who loved and honored the cause of the
Confederacy and staked their all in its
defense.
What town will be the first to join in
the work againp Who will start the
movement for your town? WHY NOT
YOU.

TO "AoE" NEW LACE.
Wrap 1t Up in Newspaper, Says a
Woman Who Knows.

Now that real old lace is the rage
and comparatively few women are
lucky enough to own any, there is a
demand for a process by which mod
ern laces may be made to have the
real "old" color.
Out of the south come all sorts of
old-fashioned ideas, says the New
York Sun. An elderly southern wo-
man, hearing the complaint of New
Yorker that hardly any of her "old'
lace really looked the part, gave
recipe for making new lace look old
which she says has never failed in
producing tthe right color.
THE whole secret" said she, lies
in a newspaper We southern women
used to put away our fine laces at the
beginning of summer to keep them
nice for the social campaign Of the
following winter.
I'VE would cut strips of newspaper
a trif1e wider than the lace to be
tinted and carefully sew the edges of
the lace to the paper. Then we would
make a roll of newspaper about as
thick as an ordinary mailing tube and
roll our lace trimmed newspaper
strips around this with perfect smooth
ness.
Next we would wrap the whole in
blue paper and seal up the ends. In
the course of two or three months our
lace would have the most perfect
old look you ever saw. A hundred
years couldn't bring about any better
results than a newspaper properly put
on.
II know all about the coffee tint
and tea tint and dyes, but nothing can
ever equal newspaper as coloring ma
terial for lace where one wants to
wear heirloom lace bought about two
months ago."

Naming the Spanish baby the prince
of the Asturias is just temporary ar
rangement until the geOgraphers and

would suggest that the bachelor girls
also form a club, and that their rooms
contain a reception or billing and COO
ing room where their friends can
spend a pleasant hour occasionally,
becoming acquainted with those who
desire to be brides.
"Of course, I don't want you to
think we are over-anXious to get mar

Danville will say that there are some

an ordinance passed taxing us. That

Care of Piano.

Dust the piano daily with an old

water on the keys. Two or three times

not only removes the dirt, but takes
away that cloudy appearance which is
