FLORAL SHOW AT SENECA.
Interest Being Revived for the Conn
ing Eycnt--Thc Premiums.

| Dtictd, July Gt.--cDcSldl. IL
those who were formerly connected
with the "Oconee Floral Assoca-
tion," and to those more recently as
scciated with the Flower Show, held
| last fall, under the auspices of the
Seneca Civic Association, we beg to
announce that the Civic Association
has again assumed the responsibility
of having a flower show this fall. Oc-
| tober 1929 are the dates fixed for
this exhibit.
After a lapse Of several years the
mantle" Of responsibility has fallen
from the Oconee Floral Association
upon the shoulders of those who. a
few years ago organized THE Seneca
Civic Association" and have been
doing a noble work for Seneca. &.
You may break, you may shatter,
the vase. If you will,
But the smell of the rose will hang
round 1t still"
We find the truth of these lines in
the recollections of the old Floral
Association. Very precious are the
memories of those days, and the pre-
miums, mementoes, etc, are still
held IN high regard.
The Civic Association is not blow
lnS DlS HOIu, DuI Is "OIklllS care
fully and with a determination to do
much toward the up-lift of Seneca.
Only n few days ago one of our
citizens was heard to say that Seneca
was beautifully kept (streets, yards,
ctCD, as compared with one OF our
sister towns across the Georgia line.
1t was remarked that perhaps that
town had no civic organization. Let
rs hope that every citizen of Seneca
and the surrounding country will
join with us in the effort to build a
clean and healthy town. and with the
influences which must come from
the annual flower show, make beau
tiful town and country also.
We desire to say that the entry
list IS open to every citizen in Oco-
nee county, and YOU are earnestly re-
Tucatr,i TO take part and make your
self felt in the exhibits. Please en-
amino the appended list carefully;
then go to work in earnest to see how
many of the premiums and blue rib
bOnS YOU can take away.
The Floral Committee, consisting
Of Mrs. j. \. llerndon, general chair
man. with McSdames O. +. Bacon,
w. J. Lunney, J. II. Burgess, w. NJ.
Neill, have charge of the details sur
one desiring information rela tive to
the exhibit will please apply to any
one Of these ladies.
Governor Ansel has graciously
promised the Floral Committee to at
tend and make an address at the
time OF our meeting in October. The
committee is to be congratulated that
they have secured one OF OcOnee'S
distinguished sons to be with us at
that time. Keep this in mind; keep
the flower show in mind; study the
list OF exhibits, premiums, etc, and
go to work to win.
We beg to express our fullest ap-
probation to our citizens and mer-
chants who have so literally given in
aiding the efforts of the association
to final success.
Yours with good will.
