band was as proud OF the fact that
she was an excellent housewife as she
was OF his work IN the world. and his

Bienville Chapter. D. 4. R.. Annfsten, has just completed . year fun of in- l teresting work.
 We still have the little deaf and dumb girl at Taiiadega, where her teachers report her to be one of their most promising pupils. It Is the in- teption of the chapter to keep this child at school until she is educated and to provide her with all clothing and expenses
 This fall we have undertaken an~ other protege This Is a young women who was very anxious to become self supporting.
 We have placed here in an industrial school at Boaz, Ala. where she-is nak- ing excellent progress.
 Another project which fs still under discussion Is. to establish a bed in a local hospital. and we hope soon to have this an accomplished fact.
 The social feature of our meetings for. the past few months has been eliminated and now we only entertain on special anniversaries, such as Feb ruary 22 and Flag Day. etc. thus we are enabled to accomplish more actual work. s Our chapter was never in a more flourishIng and active condition. At present we are busy preparing for the 'annuaI conference which meets here in December and we are anticipating much pleasure on that occasion. Florence M. Kidd.

F7owers and Flo,uer Louers
BY THE FLOWER MOWERS ASSOCIATION. RwsmnummmmRRH ziamaa asRm BmW mHE,fI

!, Clubs is in session. No doubt the dis. play of floral treasures will be great as many promised to do their best.
 There. was an adjournment to the great back porch, where a huge table groaned with its wealth of treasures. On one corner was a large basket filled with everything a young and en- thusiastic 'h homemaker'' could find to share with her friendsi Great scarlet geraniunis. violets. verbenas. lilac and shasta daisies. This generous little woman Is one of the very youngest members Of the Association and, own Ing one of the prettiest homes in Clo- verdale. she lovingly and willingly giyesr of her happiness to make oth CTS happy.
 Mrs. Harvey Jones had sent to Cali fornia for eactus--the gorKeus. bloom ing varieties. and she brought gener- ods contributions.
 A weIl-wisher at distance had sent a bag of bulbs. There was much mer- riment over the game of grab" as the bag was handed around for each one to help herself.
 But the greatest fun producer was the basket of F'potatoess. that Mrs Stout brought from that stater patch,' ,'' loudly afneuncing that she had brought them for the Secretary, who had ..wrIt- ten up" her patch so beautifully. They were fine yams; and among them was one so large that it was thought to be somewhat commensurate with the heart and generous spirit of the Presi- dent, so. it was laid on her table as a just ribute.
 Mrs. Glenn Andrews brought plants and cuttings from that wonderful blue hydrangea of hers.
 The President had rooted many Dorothy Perkins" rose slips and many went away with treasure.
 Miss Wright brought bulbs and chrysanthemums Mrs Seibeis gave generously of her celebrated bulbs. Mrs Merriam had carefully named her rose cuttings and they were in de- mand.
 Others brought violets. ferns. can mas. begonias. oleanders, palms and the ornamental as well as useful burr artichoke.
 One member gave voice to the feeling of all: Tt seems to me that brought so little and received so much!" Yea 1" 'Tis more blessed to give" yet that blessed sense of receiving always comes with the giving!
 Remember, Flower Growers. though the exchange meeting Is six months off you must begin now to prepare for it Put down cuttings. set things in trenches. that otherwise you'd throw away out of your abundance.

College Days Of Clifford
 Lanier as Told by q Friend

never forget how. one memorable afternoon, when Clifford Lanier held speIl-bound the full faculty and the en- tire student body of the college, by his recitation in the great auditorium of Edgar Allen Poe's weird and solemn production The Raven His impressive rendition effected the warm plaudits from professors and students. Many of the boys had before read and ponderej over the pensive numbers of the melancholy production, but all conceived that the declamation of the talented sophomore gave to the poem newer and a more profound significance and impression.
 But not only was Clifford Lanter fond of poetry and the inspiration which 1t gives. but, In his college-days. he showed a decided pencl1ant for the equally divine and sister-art of music oftentimes. it is remembered. at the twilight Surcease or later, when night had let her curtain fall and pinnned It with a star" were listening senses charmed by dulcet notes from instru- ments in the hands of himself and brother, issuing out In sweetest melody from their well-known dormitory, No. t12, South Side" It was indeed, -s Music whose charm in my soul hn-
 
 Though the sounds from my ear hath
 long melted away
 The subject of the "reminiscences. as before intimated. was student par excellence achieving the highest grades in all branches of the curricu- lum. Indeed. he was what might be termed maximum In proficiency and character, and without too fuisome enthusiasm, 1t could be said of him as a collegian. what an orator said of a leading member of the Roman Senate: He stood first among his equals"
 "A long space intervened between him and the man who stood nearest to him"
 The life of such a man should be an inspiration to this and future genera tions.

On Monday afternoon. November 2 the flower growers wended their way with arms ladened with floral treas ures for the exchange meeting.
 A goodly company assembled on the broad and hospitable porch of beauti- full Green Acres and the faces all shone with that ineffable light that can alone shine from generous soul.
 After the reading of the minutes. and their approval, a letter was submitted as a pleasant surprise to the Flower Growers. It was from the husband of a prominent member. He was absent on trip to the north. He has evident Iy been converted. to flower loving what others are doing in flowers mat ters. He writes:
 T find that the people of Gotham. are given to 'fads' in flowers. and their latest 'crazer Is for 'Gardenias.' On investigation. I found this to be just our good old friend the Cape Jase- mine. Such prices as they bring! One dollar and a half for one blossom. Yet each well-dressed man sports one iIl his button-hole, while the ladies usual ly require twoi You FlowSr Growers hnd better go into the businessr'
 Now, the Flower Growers laughed
  felt that as an organization. they were not living in vain, when a business man on a business trip. to the very busiest city in America, could find time to think of them and their inter- ests and take the time to write about IL
 Then another letter from a man whose interest ip the organization has already been evidenced through these columns was read.
 Mrs. Merriam gave, in a short paper her valuable experiences in roofing rose cuttings.
 Mrs Mckinney brought a ray of comfort to the Flower Growers, for the melancholy days" that winter brings to some-but not to the true flower-Iover. Her little poem was a real ray of sunshine.
 The President reported that there had been found a glorious exception to the general failure of dahlias to 6o their duty in brightening the world Mrs. Robert Stringfellow has had sig nal success this year; her jahlias have been the wonder and envy of heI friends. One of the florists declares that is the way they bloom in Hol- land"
 A subject for thorough discussion was given for the next meeting:

 An old college mate. man who was his friend and associate at oglethorpe College. has written a feeling tribute to the memory of Clifford LAnier. The friend is now a distinguished citi- zen of Aatauga County--a man whom his people have several times been pleased to honor.
 Shocked by the death of his gifted friend. Mir Lanier's old college mate wrote of him when he was in the bloom of that promise. which later brought forth such splendid fruit.
 He writes as follows:
 Your recent touching notices of the death and burial of the accomplished scholar and worthy citizen of Mont wonery. Clifford Ianier. has recalled to the mInd of the writer some treas ,iresf recollections of the dead liter arv gentleman.
 You hnve referred to his attendance as a student for two years at Ogie- thorpe College. Ga.
