Data and the outline of a

that could be made locally
has been sent to Hollywood,

The plot centers around the
beautiful Theodesia. Burr, beginning
with her tender girlhood
as the only daughter
of Aaron Burr. It swings
through her school days and
through the social whirl of
the beginning of the ISth
ccntiiiy in New York and

Mrs. Annie K. Vitou, chairman

Show to be held on April
!7, reports that the show will
lave this year something entirely
lew for Southport and of special
nterest to everyone.
The Woman's Club which is
sponsoring the show will put on
i number of special exhibits,
rhese exhibits will not be judged
out are rather to lend color to
the show .
Before this year, the Southport J
show has not had any "shadow
ooxes". The Woman's Club is
preparing for exhibition a group
if these boxes to represent "morn
ing", "noon", and "night". This
will be done entirely with flow:rs
with appropriate backgrounds.
The Woman's Club is doing this
Lhis year in the hope that intcr?st
will be aroused in this mediim
of expression and that such
i class for competition may bo i
included in the 1910 show.
Another interesting feature of
:hc show this year will be a
:ollcction of various ntlractivo
rases which will be on exhibition,
rhere will be also a miniature
liut and garden which everyone
will want to sec. Each of these
exhibits will be labeled and pluced
in the room with the flower exhibits.
A good collection of these
special exhibits has been reported. j
Anyone who knows of anything in
town which will be suitable for
exhibition in this group will
please contact Mrs. Vitou.
Mrs. Marion S. Doshcr, general
chairinan of the Flower Show, announces
that all posters entered
for competition must be in not
later than Saturday, April 22.
They may be left at Watson's
