w HA~SM decreed the lily to be

MY the reason lilies are so ap-
w prOpriately and extensively
used in the decoration of
churches IS not only be-
cause of their symbollical meaning,
but because they are the most perfect
of floral types. especially the candi-
dunn and harrisii and the so-called
Gala lily. which, by the way, is not
lily at all; but, as all agree that a
rose by any other name is just as
sweet, so the Gala is the acknowl-
edged type of absolute statuesQueness
of form and purity of color, and the
beauty of these white flowers BELTS
solemn and lofty surroundings.
Legends in plenty cluster about the
lily One legend of very ancient date
gives the supposed origin of lilly, of
all children of the spring the paIest;
fairest, too, where fair ones are"
Long centuries ago angels coming as
celestial yisitants to earth found it
bare and gloomy in comparison with
paradise. They entered rocky tombs
and took the shining mantles off the
blessed and changed them to flowers.
From this comes the beautiful and
poetic superstition that on Easter
morning in every lily bud is hidden
an angel.
In ancient times a most curious
Easter custom prevailed in France
Wooing lads and Iasses would come
forward as applicants for the egg
and matrimonial dance" A hundred
eggs were arranged on a level sward
spread with sand, and all the young
tenantry selected their partners to
dance on the green among the eggs.
The story is told by an old chron-
icle that Philibert, Duke of Savoy.

managed to dance through without
breaking some of the opstructions. If
they succeeded not even the may" of
the parents prevailed to break up the
match. 1t was an evidence of the in
tentions of Providence to smile on the
union.
While many had tried and been I'M
successful, the duke besought the
princess to try the dance with him.
Though it was the first time they had
met, she agreed, and they executed
the national dance without breaking

Thursday when the two of the II
eases were carried from the commits

also be appealed before the expira-

Under a privilege extended by the
new Proctor law those appealing may
continue in business without a license
until their cases are disposed of.
As the various provisions of the
new law may all eventually reach the

OF COUNCIL
MAIN SERVICE NEEDED ON
CENTER AND A NUMBER OF
OTHERS BY MANY
PEOPLE
TO EXTEND 9Th STREET
Rather Short Session of City Council
Begins To Look Forward to
Opening of Spring
Business.
TO EXTEND 9Th STREET

The city council on Monday night
was rather a short one, but it show
ed that the members are looking for
ward to the important work of the
spring and summer. Many people
want water and it will be necessary
to buy more iron mains and make
extensions before the service can be
rendered. Water is wanted on north
Center street especially and no Nur-
sery, Charles and Water streets.
The most urgent case was that of
Center street where Mr.. Fred Apple
man has opened new cement fence
post industry and is badly in need
OF water to carry it Oh. Councilman
Swindell said that the council should
care for the industries we had before
we attempt to get any more, and in
this he was seconded by the other
members. The council will give Mr..
Appleman relief in some way until a
main can be put In on north Center.
1t is the purpose of the council to
order car load lot of iron pipe from
birmingham, Ala, where it can be
bought cheapest, and then let a con-
tract for all the new mains at once.
In this way, declared Mr.. Clizbe. we
can get work done much cheaper
City clerk Shekes is to write for
prices on car load of pipe, the con.
tract for which must be let by bids.
A petition was in for a walk on
east LaPorte street in Bollman' s
addition.
c. L. Morris proposed to sell to
the city for $3.50 &C feet of ground
to connect the two parts of. Fifth
street from Jefferson to Madison.
VIM. English was given permission
to raise his cement walk in front of
his residence.
Considerable discussion was had IN
reference to buying new sweeping
wagon. Mr.. Swindell had a letter
and circular from an Ohio firm which
had a wagon which acted on the or
der of vacuum cleaner. and was
guaranteed to sweep and pick up
the dirt from the streets and put it
into cans thus saving the cost of
hiring men to shovel the dirt into
the wagons as is done now. Mr.. w.
F. Ormond had agreed to furnish
team and driver for the wagon for
$3.50 day. Mr.. Swindell said he
thought the new wagon would save
much to the city if it worked as it
was said to. Our streets could be
kept much clearner than now and at
less cost. 1t was finally decided to
write the company and if they would
agree to send wagon on trial, let
ting the city purchase it if it worked
all. right. On this basis it is prob
able that the council will order a
wagon.
Councilman Clizbe occupied the
Mayors chair for the session.
