YCLAPKC 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. The Wildwood Letter by Bill Flips Mrs. George Galespie, of Chat- anooga has been spending a few' days with Mrs. Joab Cravins- Messers, Joab and James Mc¬ Collum have returned from Ar- kensas.

Let the good work go on until every family in the county receives a paper weekly. These new turned up hats that the girls wear now are very han¬ dy, as they hang down so far on one side the wearer can wink at a fellow on the other side of the street without the fellow who is with her knowing about it.
