DaHyin’ In Dade
By Myrna Renfroe
After examining the 50-cent
piece carefully, she thrust it back
into her pocket. What could
she buy with such a measly sum?
A thoughtful expression came
into the skinny, pigtailed little
girl’s eyes. This year it had to
be especially nice. Mother’s Day
was Sunday and there was only
a day and a half in which to
decide.
She wished that she had more,
but she wanted to buy it with
her own money. Will power
alone had made her stay away
from the drug store after school,
giving up cold bottles of orange¬
ade and candy-
Turning into a department
store, noisy with late afternoon
shoppers, Ella propped her chin
on a high glass counter, which
was stacked with onepound box¬
es of milk chocolates.
“How much is that little box
up on top?” she queried in a
small voice, hoarse with un¬
certainty.
The sales girl glanced at her
briefly, then said as she moved
to another customer, "one dollar
and eight cents.”
The world crashed about her
feet, leaving only the fifty cents
before her on the smooth sur¬
face. All around were gifts for
larger purses than hers, lace
trimmed handkies at 79c; per¬
fume in tiny bottles, with huge
letters boldly asking a dollar and
a half.
At home that night, she was
still searching for an answer.
Suddenly she knew exactly what
she wanted. Her mother loved
flowers, so why not-.
Already she was on the back
porch, choosing the best looking
BIRD HOUSE CONTEST
AND SALE
The boys of the Dade grammar
school are building bird houses
This program is sponsored by the
Trenton Garden Club to encour¬
age interest in the protection of
birds.
The Bird Houses will go on dis¬
play at Dyer’s Store on Friday
and Saturday May 9 and 10.
Prizes will be given to the two
considered to be the best. The
Judges will be Messers L. C.
Adams, J. C. Carpenter and John
Dempsey.
After these houses have been
judged they will be put up for
sale. Come and encourage these
young avfarists in their work¬
manship and buy one for your
.own pleasure to take home.
pot. It had a crack down the
side, but she could cover the
whole pot with tinfoil pasted to¬
gether just like Miss Gertrude’s.
The next day, she hurried out
to the back of the hardware
store. Dozens of plants were
carefully tended by the proprie¬
tor, but they did not put money
in his pocket because most people
grew their own plants and flow¬
ers. Ella picked out a geranium,
wrapped a newspaper around its
root and generously gave the
man her half-dollar . She now
had eleven cents, which dis¬
appeared as soon as she saw two
yards of white satin ribbon.
Next she set to work with a
stubby pencil marked by previous
musings, and a sheet of tablet
paper. The result was gratifying
especially after it was trans¬
ferred to pink writing paper.
Twice that night she looked
under the bed at her work with
a proud smile. It stayed there
until after Sunday School, when
Ella wore a deep red rose pinned
to her flowered dress. Excited
as a baby kitten, she sat at the
dinner table. Then she mysteri¬
ously excused herself appearing
a minute later with her gift.
Her mother took one look at
the tinfoil with nail polish spell¬
ing out “To My Mother,” the
white ribbon and the plant which
leaned threateningly over the
side of the pot and slowly read
the slip of paper thrust behind
the clumsey bow with a barely
perceptible mistness in her tired
brown eyes.
Ella felt warm and strangely
quite while her mother read
softly:
I hope I have always
The dear mother you are ;
Sweet, kind and gentle.
And bright as a star;
For no one on earth
Could be so nice—
You’re wonderful, so
I’ll say it twice.”
STATE RECEIVES PRICELESS
RELIC FROM FLORIDIAN
A priceless relic of the War
Eetween the States was present¬
ed to the Georgia Department
of Archieves and History last
week by Dr. Nelson Black of
Miami, Florida. It is a Confed
erate war picolo, retrieved for
Dr. Black’s father from a Fed
eral wagon train by Gen. Nelson
A. Miles, of the First Division,
Second Army Corps, Army of the
Potomac.
The flute was originally owned
by William Neyle Habersham of
Savannah, a member of the dis¬
tinguished family for whom Hab¬
ersham county was named. It is
believed one of his sons lost the
instrument during the battle of
Atlanta.
THE HADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1947
LOOKING BACKWARD
THE DADE COUNTY GAZETTE
Rising Fawn, Ga., October 16, 1879.
The legislature adjourned, yes¬
terday after a long and “heated
term” of three months. Their
work is now done, and time will
tell whether they have passed
some wholesome laws and did
other good service for the people-
Our visit to Savannah
On Monday October the 6th
we boarded the train at Rising
Fawn bound for Chattanooga.
We stopped in this city until
Tuesday evening where, in com¬
pany with the Hon. Mr. A. B
Tatum, our representative and
A McHan, of Walker County
Messenger, we boarded the W.
and A. train waiting to convey
us over the Central road.
We arrived in Savannah about
4 o’clock Wednesday evening,
found the forest city in a perfect
stir. Hotels crowded, streets
crowded and a state of perfect
confusion reigning throughout
but by dint of perseverence we
suceeded (by paying 50c per
head to an omnibus for a ride
of a few hundred yards, which
of course was acceptable as we
had not been riding at those
rates). In making our way
through the .thronged streets to
the Pulaski House, where after
several unsuccessful attempts we
succeeded in obtaining a room
six by ten for the moderate sum
of two dollars and a half per
day. This room had but a single
bed in it and three of us were
assigned to that room, how we
fared we leave our readers to
imagine, suffice it to say that
we three occupied that little
room with a single bed in it.
(The article is very long, giving
in detail the centennial occasion
in honor of Sergeant William
Jasper, and 2 excursions down
the Savannah river. The Dr.
found the W. and A railroad in
excellent condition and under
good management. His article
ends)
We would like to say something
about the Pulaski House but as
it is an old house, one that has
been established for years and
as we can say nothing good
about the fare, either as to beds,
viands or politeness of waiters
we desist.
