THE LAND OF THE CREPE
MYRTLE
Along with more material move
ments, an effort is being made to
beautify and adorn the highways and
to give an added charm to the farms
and homes of the South. It is rec
ognized that the beautiful is also
the useful, and that by planting trees
and shrubs still further value can
be given to any piece of property.
.In connection with this suggestion,
the Progressive Farmer, in a recent
issue, has this to say: All over the
South now, the blossoming crepe
myrtles are adding to the beauty of
the homes that are fortunate enough
to have them. If you have no crepe
myrtles on your grounds, why not de
cide now to get some sprouts from a
neighbor this fall, or else order (f few
from some nursery? As we have
often said before, if any other section
of the United States had a virtual
monopoly of a tree as beautiful as
the crepe myrtle, and as easily grown,
that section would soon become fam
ous as “The Land of The Crepe Myr
tle." Why then should not the South
make use of its opportunities In this
respect? The crepe myrtle will not
flourish in the colder states north of
us. It is one of God’s special gifts
of beauty to the South, and no other
flowering shrub or tree blooms for
so long a time, has such a variety of
colors and tints, or requires less care.
If only one crepe myrtle sprout was
set out in every Southern farmer’s
yard this fall, that action alone would
not only help beautify each individual
home but would also go far toward
making the South “The Land of the
Crepe Myrtle.” Is it not worth try
ing? It was Byron who sang: “Know
ye the land of the cypress and myr
tle.” And yet the myrtle of which
he sang was, not by any means as
beautiful as the crepe myrtle which
flourishes so easily and abundantly
here in the South. Coming as it
does in various colors, with a beauty
of foliage that is unsurpassed and an
ease of cultivation that is rare in
deed, there is no reason why the
South should not in fact, be known
as “The Land of the Crepe Myrtle.”
There mqy be differences of opinion
as to the tree or flower which should
become distinctive of the South, but
certainly there can be no doubt as to
the value of planting some kind of
trees and shrubs wherever possible.
And it is particularly gratifying to
find the foregoing coming, not from
some horticultural paper, but from a
leading Agricultural journal. And
the suggestion is well worthy of fol
lowing up. There is no town or
county that can boast of more crepe
myrtle than ours, hut are we taking
care of it? Much of it is growing
along our highways, but when wc go
into it and break great long branches
of it, are we doing right? Would it
not he better to let that stay for the
passerby, and beauty of our roads and
furnish our tables by cultivating it
ourselves ? It is a lazy habit to run
out into the country and take what
nature has so generously given us and
it is a selfish one as well. Plant
your own crepe myrtle.
YTRAP A
You can’t quite make that out, can
you? Try turning it around read
ing it from the end to the beginning
like a Chinaman. Ah! The secret’s
out. It was a party sure enough,
and one that had everything turned
around backward. The guests came
in the hack door, were greeted by a
pleasant “Good-bye” instead of Wel
come” or “Hello” and the refresh
ments were served first. That’s just
a sample, everything was backward,
it was a real “backward” party.
Perhaps you would like to know
more about it and as so much has
been revealed we’ll uncover the whole
plot. The party was given to the
members of the Senior Endeavor by
Mrs. C. C. Bell, at her home on Shot-
well Street, last Friday evening. But,
now that I started out to tell you
all about it, I find that I’m not able
to do so. If you want to find out
what a big time the Endeavorers had,
just ask one of them and you’ll find
lout that the only sort of party to
have is one with everything turned
around backward and that the only
place to have it is at Mrs. Bell s.
The Christian Endeavor certainly
wants to thank Mr. and Mrs. Bell
for a good time.

day school rooms, Presbyterian

CONSECRATION MEETING
Mr. Julian Graham, acting as lead
er, presented a most entertaining pro
gram at the Christian Endeavor, Sun
day evening. This was the monthly
consecration meeting and a complete
and interesting program served to
make it one of the best of the year.
There were no services at the church
and more time than usual was avail
able for the C. E., although it was
in plenty of time for the Union ser
vices at the Methodist Church.
The scripture reading was the
Lord’s prayer and Mrs. Carr gave
some very fine thoughts on the sub
ject. This was followed by a prayer
by Mr. Martin and n talk-by the
leader. Then four little girls of
Miss Grace Carr’s Sunday School
class, sang one of the Sunday School
songs. Miss Grace and her class are
to be complimented. After this
Mrs. Graham made an excellent talk
on “Pleasure.” Mrs. Subers, Mr.
Martin, Miss Edith Boozer and Mr.
Ben Custer, then made short talks in
response to questions on the same
subject. Clippings were read by va
rious members, followed by sentence
prayers, which were entered into by
many of the younger members as
well as by the older ones. These
questions were then asked some nine
or ten of the Juniors: What is your
favorite fun? Why is it you fav
orite? Would Christ approve of it?
These questipns ,were answered Sn
fine style. Swimming seems to likve
the preference right now, although
tennis, foot-ball, and reading also ap
peal to the Juniors. The meeting
was concluded by a talk by Mr. Ward,
and the reading of a poem by Mrs.
Custer.
Miss Elise Spooner will be the lead
er for next time and an excellent
program is promised.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORS HAVE
BACKWARD PARTY
The Christian Endeavors of the
Presbyterian church entertained with
a backward party last Friday night,
in the heme of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Bell. The invitations were issued
in backward form and everything was
done in entertaining to carry out the
scheme of the invitations and much
fun was enjoyed) when some of the
guests arrived at the back door with
costumes on backward. Refreshments
were served first and the game fol
lowed. In the contests several tied
for the attractive prizes. During
the evening fruit punch was served by
Misses Aldrich and Spooner,
J. K. Farrar made a business trip
to Valdosta, Saturday.
