of its splendor was on display and I
enjoyed the occasion to my capacity,
including my great ability to store

they could possibly dispose of, am!
I cot - a glimpse occnsionaly of two
fine a-sis tan ts in the personages of
Mrs. R. T. Baisden and Mrs. George

the delightful repast of which I par

outstanding impressions I received
from, the many and varied speeches
that were made were the manner in
wh.ch they universally praised the

Cucumber Long Delicacy
Dc Candolle says that cucumbers
were originally from the East Indler.
but other botanists ascribe them to
Asia and Egypt. Literature proves
them to be more than 3.000 years old
In Asia, and it is known that they
were brought into China 140-80 H. C.
They were known to the Greeks nnd
Romans and were mentioned by Pliny, j
who says that they were grown *“
Africa, nnd that they were such n
favorite with Emperor Tiberius that
he had them dally on Ills table.
Charlemagne ordered them planted on
his estate in the Ninth century, and
they were grown by Columbus In
Haiti In 1194. Onpt. John Smith men
