should be sown thickly so as to form
masses. For winter bloom, sow late
10 August and thin the seedlings so
as to stand about four inches apart,
but for spring bloom or for borders
the seeds should be sown In the open
early in the spring, or even late In the
preceding autumn In some localities.
Where the plant will not endure the
winter, however, early spring planting
under cover, either In cold frame or
spent hotbed, or in boxes in dwelling,
is most to be relied upon. Alyssum
can also be increased from cuttings
made from strong new side shoots, as
well as by division of the roots. By
cutting back after the first flowers
fade others will be produced While
white is the most common and popu-
lar color, there are yellow varieties
of alyssum.

the varieties are fragrant, and all are
profuSe boomers. The seed should be
sown outdoors In April where the
plants are to bloom, and well thinned
when they have grown about an inch
high. Make q second planting month
later, and a third late In July for fall
flowers. September sowings will give
winter blooming plants. The soil for
best results should be rich, and the
plants given an abundance of water
They branch freely, and If some are
removed the flowers will be larger.

are of hardy nature, requiring sim

most attractive and graceful of all the

green foliage. 1t is most effective
when planted in broad masses or long
background borders against evergreens
or fences at some distance from the
house and the garden walks. From
seed started in the house in March or
April the plants will have reached
three or four feet in height by Sep
TENDER. The bright-colored, daisylike
flowers are borne in great profusion
and come at season when they are
very acceptable. Because of the rO-
bust habit of the plant the young seed
lings should be thinned to is inches
apart when grown on moderately good
soil. Sowing the seed late and in poor
soil will dwarf the plants. In latitude
of Washington, d. c., the plants per.
petuate themselves from self-sown
seed. These volunteer plants can be
taken advantage of for early bloom.

PALACE TO PRESENT THE
MARTYRDOM OF PHILIP STRONG
A Story With Tremendous Thought
and Great Inspiration.

In the midst of uproarious fares
and "thrillers" it is sometimes well
to pause and consider the more Sc
rious sides of life. In "The Martyr
dom of Philip Strong" the Para
mount picture at the Palace Satur-
day, March 3, there is, in addition to
an intensely absorbing drama, food
for much thought on the more Sc
rious things Of this life. Never for
a moment is it thrust upon one that
there is a great moral lesson in the
photoplay, which can be enjoyed as
a drama Of the highest type, but when
the last shadow fiickers upon the
screen one realizes that a tremen-

have been embodied in the story.

PROMINENT YOUNG MAN
OF PARROT IS DEAD

The death of Carl Binion, which
occurred at Parrot on Saturday, Feb
ruary II, at o'clock, was "a shock
to his many friends. Although
he had been complaining for some
time no one expected any immediate
danger. At o'clock Saturday morn
ing the family physician was called
in and it was discovered that he had
congestion of the brain. Every at
tempt possible was made for his re-
covery, but nothing could be done
for his good.
This young man was Is years of
age and had made Parrot his home
for the past five years. He united
with the Baptist church of Parrott
in the summer of 1915 and was an
active member of the Senior Royal
Ambassadors and regular Sunday
school attendant. In home, business
and social life he exhibited those
traits of character which always draw
and hold people as friends. He is
survived by a widowed mother, two
brothers and a small sister.
The funeral was conducted Sunday
at Sardis church by Rev.
J. F. Eden.
Messrs. Bill Cole, Roy Pinkston,
Hosea Harris, Emmett Pinkston, Leon
ard Wade and John David Pinkston
acted as pail bearers.
