Friends and kindred from the neigh
boring towns and from the rural
communities come together and pass
the day in delightful social inter
course. Even some people from the
town attend the floral fairs who do
not 60 out on other occasions. Were
there no financial ends in view, the
floral fair would pay from social
standpoint. The ladies in charge
were thoughtful enough to provide
splendid orchestra which dis
coursed sweet music for the occasion.
The Gorgeous Parade
ttiEhe clifaax of the day ayssprograia
was reached when the grand floral
parade, which assembled in the
Evans. grove at 2:3O, reached the
public square.
The parade had been widely ad-
vertised and many came chiefly to
witness this feature of the fair, ex-
pecting great things, and suffice it
to say, not one was disappointed
when this princely pageant slowly
moved down Main street and COM
passed the square several tin es,
keeping title with the popular
strains from the band wagon.
The column was headed by de-
tachment from the Edgefeld Rif es
composed of Lieut.. w. c. Tomp-
kins, Lieut.. A. A. Glover and Mes
srs. Allen Samuel and J. A.
McLees The procession was formed

plan of raising money to prosecute
this work by holding chrysanthe-

The meaning of the word "swastika"

ing of the symbol is more complex.
Some folks trace it to the sun.
The emblem is the sun in notion"
argued Professor Max Muller. "A
wheel with spokes was actually re-
placed by what we now call swastika.
The swastika is, in fact. an abbreviat-

spokes in it, the tire and the move

Buried Treasures In ENGLAND.

There must be good deal of treas
ure in the form of church plate and so
forth concealed in different parts of
the country, as quantities of it were
buried at the time of the dissolution
of the mOnasteries. There are two
legends in Worcestershire regarding
some silver bells, for instance. which
have been handed down most persist
emily from one generation to another
since the sixteenth century One YER
sion of the story is that the bells were
buried by the last abbot of Evesham,
Abbot Lichfield, in a subterranean
passage which formerly existed be-
tween the abbey and a house on the
opposite bank of the river. while the
7-eeher story has it that a peal of silver
bells was buried Mt the same period
(the dissolution of the rnonasteries) at
Abbots Morton. village ten miles dis
tant from Evesham.-Wide World
