The day of our exhibit dawned
beautiful and balmy enough to
have strayed from tbe clime of Par
adise. The sky was blue—as the
flash of a sappnira—and all naiure
seemed determined to add its quota
to the success, which ever attends
any effort of the Waynesboro Gar
den Club.
A brilliant array of flowers wa
displayed tho we missed the rich
profusion of geraniums and roses,
who-e crimson ebalieed cups and
delicate tints, enhanced the beauty
of our last exhibit. The "beauteous
sisterhood” of golden hearted chry
santhemums easily stood in the
lead for honors.
Great downy tufts of creamy lov-
liness whispered fender secrets to
the “gold tressed” beauties beside
them, Otberes with scarlet tinged
cheeks, bowed llieir modest head-
beneath tho withering scorn of the
red lipped auburn haired maids
who flaunted themselves before the
judges with so much assurance oi
victory. The ‘Queens” secure in
the beauty, and purity of their re
gal charms lifted high their fair
young faces and looked with serene
amusement upon the. jealousy of
their rivals.
From this beautiful collection.We
turn to the display of vegetables
whose crisp freshness seemed the
embodiment of spring, and we find
ft hard to realize they were nur
tured in the air of encroaching win
ter.
The natural resources and glori
ous possibilities, together with the
forethought and ability of her bus
iness men have gained for Georgia
the title ‘Empire State of the
South.” But in no lesser degree,
have the women contributed to her
greatness. In the line of house
keeping she excels indeed. And
this fact was amply proven by the
magnificent display of dainties that
charmed he eye of every beholder.
Jellies translucent as rubies, vied
with wines, rich and purple as the
grapes which bask under the sun
ny skies of France. While amber
hued truits stood in silent majesty
awaiting the glad moment when
the proud ensign of victory would
bring joy to the hearts and-laughtei
to the lips of their happy makers
and owners.
The most tempting of ail this de
Iieious array w 7 as a iar of brandy
peaches whose globes of rich sweet
ness, made one forget the distinc
tion between “Meum et Dhgr” and
when the owner arrived she found
it despoiled, and instead of the ex
hilarating contents carried there,
an empty jar remained whose aro
ma alone boro testimony of what it
once contents. It being tbe me
dium through which a first premi
um was won—it would fain have
been kept as a valued relic to be
stow upon posterity, but acknowl
edging tha temptation, the offense
was condoned. The following la

Dr,Thompson,presiding elder.who
was to have preached at the Meth
odist church last Sunday night and
on Monday night hold the last quar
terly conference for the year for the
Waynesboro charge was taken ill
en route and failed to reach the
city. A very large congregation
had assembled to hear Dr. Thomp
son, and great disappointment was
felt sefien it was learned he would
not ba here.
On Sunday night last about 7
o’clock the cry of tire was heard For
a wintfc many eyes scanned the hor
izon without finding the usual
glare. In a few minutes however
it burst up from the East, but couid
not be exactly located. The volun
teer fire brigade, white and black,
took to their heels to find it and al
though the flames rose high in the
air, and made the location seem
near at hand, many ran themselves
out of breath and surrendered to fa
tigue before getting in a half mile
of it.
It was fouDd to be Gracy War
ren’s house about one mile bayond
the corporation limits. There were
neighbors close at hand who rushed
in to assist, but little was saved as
(he house- very dry and almost
kindling wood, went up like a flash
almost.
We understand there was insur
ance f^r 8300 on the building and
out Houses, and $125 on the per
sonal property. The loss is in the
neighborhood of $500, Gracy is one
of our very best colored peoplG and

The Death of Mrs. Eva T. Jones.
On Saturday evening last about S
o’clock passed away one of the no
blest women of tlie South in the
death of Mrs Eva Toombs Jones.
She was of the real type of the old
South, gentle bred, truthful an ear
nest Christian, and cultivated and
refined she had all the great virtues
of our southern matrons and ladies
of the type of the times that have
passed. Modest and altogether un
assuming her fame did not reach so
far as.some more assertive, but in
that circle m which s N he was known
none were more honored, admired
and respected.
Born of famous Georgia families
whose records go back-to honors in
colonial days, she inherited the tal
ents, the wit and sagacity of her
honored forefathers. Her father
Lawrence Catiette Toombs, ol
Washington, Ga, was a brother ot
the famous Robert Toombs, that un
cle whose eloquence in the Con
gress of the United States when the
South broke away from, tbe union
almost confounded tho radicals
around him.
There were none amongst her
home people and community but
loved her for those graceful quali
fies of mind and heart rhat always
attract the love and admiration of
others.
\o one ever saw her gloomy and
sad, Her cheerfulness was born of
her nature and faith. She never
doubted, but that all was for the
best, and during a long, and many
times painful illness not a com
plaint escaped that attached blame
lo any beyond herself.
She is the widow and relict of
Hon. J no. J, Jones, who proceeded
her to the great beyond only a*hort
while; and.she leaves two children
which constitute the only surviv
ors of the family, Hon. Seaborn K.
Jones and Mrs.Judge George F Cox,
formerly Minnie Jones, both of this
place.
There are many of her relatives
throughout the state and elsewhere,
out few in Burke county.
We close this brief notice of her
to leave to others a more detailed
account of her life, but we join in
the universal grief and regret, the
loss of one whose influence was so
ben eficial to the world.

wedding was that of Miss Estelle
Chappie and Mr. Hilton Hamilton
chandler, of Waynesboro. The cere
mony took place at west End at 6
o’clock on the evening of the 14th,
and was both impressive and beau
tiful. Tbe bride was never more
attractive than in her wedding gown
of mauve cloth. She carried a
shower boxuet of bride’s roses and
ferns. The house was beautifully
decorated with palm3 and roses,
and was a veritable bower of love
liness. The wedding, although a
quiet one, was characterized by ele
gance. Rev. J. T. Davies performed
the ceremony the ceremony that
united this popular young couple,
and was most happy in his remarks.
A delicious supper was served at
7 o’clock, after which the bride and
groom left for their future home in
Wayuesboro, attended by the con
gratulations and be9t wishes of
their friend3.

In each year ice have
four harvest months and if
there is any money that is
the time we Imre it.—
Three of those months hare
past and gone, and hu t lit
tle money is left afloat, so it
behooves the oirners of that
little cash to use it to the
best advantage. W h at mat
ters it if an auctioneer’s
ha mmer pell when the shoes
you need were sold ? If you
save 25c. per pair you are
that much ahead of the
game. Does it make a good
commodity worthless to
pass thro’ a smuggler’s
hand ? Is a■ piece of goods
less sej'riceable simply be
cause the mill, where it was
made, had to shove it off to
get money to meet obliga
tions ? JVot a t all. The up-
to-date man buys where his
money counts most; trades
where one dollar can get
value of one twenty-five and
