VAIt, PRESIDENT f $ of. , tot Cryv 6 A XAVL W 1 on THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY Social Happenings Personal Mention Society News Meetings Prizes A wanted. The following has been written for The UfiBette-News: An Interesting meeting of the Civic l.elterment league was held recently at' the Henrietta. Tin; chief business of the afternoon wus the announce ment by the shrub committee of tho results of the children's shrub con lost and the awarding of the prizes to Hie successful children. These prizes sentence by the choir. After this came the beautiful old hymn always sung with much fervency... by aJl con gregations, "All Hail the , Power of Jesus' Name." After the singing of this hymn, Rev. Dr. Howe offered an extemporaneous prayer most impres. Eively, which was concluded with the Lord's prayer chanted by the quartet The Gloria shortly following this by the choir was beautifully rendered The first number by Mr. Rice, "Hear 11U luucniii ......... v. .. oiisisted of silver dollars for the best.;"3' , ribbons for the next best. In award ing the prizes, many things were taken into consideration. Where there were several plants In equal v Kooti condi tion to choose, from, the prize was giv en that which bore' evidence of the greatest care under the most adverse conditions. For Instance: In the Ash land school section, there were several plants as thriving and largo as that which was given the prize, but the one which was chosen had been cared for by a little girl who had no yard to plant it in, but had raised it in a tin pall, lavishing the mot faithful care upon It In all cases, other things be ing equal the prizes were awarded where there was evidence of the great est interest. The results of t,he contest, although not entirely satisfactory from the flor ist's point of view, are In many ways highly gratifying. In many homes, far from prosperous, tho plants had been tended most faithfully. The children nil seem to have taken great Interest in tho contest, and many have devel oped a real love for (lowers. There fore, although the committee has (pent a great deal of time In distrib uting, visiting tind judging the plants. the members feel amply repaid both for time and money spent by the knowledge that they have brought u new beauty into the lives of Ashe vllle's children, and have sown the seed of great future good to the en tire community.

The on service lust evening at the Central Methodist church was one of the most delightful musical eventr taking place In the city recently. The .Mclhodpt quartet composed of Mrs Joseph Mearea, Mrs. Nora Rums, J G. Stlkeleuther and Judge ThomHS A. Jones was assisted lairt evening by 1-eon Rice, tenor soloist of Trinity ehapel. New York. It was a treat which the musically Inclined of the city turned out en masse to hear. The nave of the church and the gallery were filled to overflowing and num bers of ladles and gentlemen stood against the walls of the church dur Ing the entire service. The first num. br was Richmond's organ prelude. "Andanlo," followed by the opening was greeted by the most In tense attention on the part of his hearers, which his singing In every way justified. Mr, Rice's sweet-toned tenor voice showed cultivation to high degree and wonderful control The next selection given by Mr. Rice was Fcarls' "Ueautiful lslo," and the particular feature of his singing was the sense of distance conveed in his soft and echo-like rendering of the second chorus. The quartet was mag niileent in the oftcrtory, "Life Up Your Heads, O Ye Gates," by Rogers. Following this came the last selection by. Mr. Riceu-'tAnd. i, .John, Saw., the Holy City," which the singer ' dered In a striking and dramatic so le. This exquisite service closed with the hymn "Now the Pay is Over," the bencdic tion and organ postludo. West Asheville Notes. Correspondence of The Gazette-News West Asheville, June 'J.

Mr. Ar bogast and Miss Ventriss went to I Hendersonvllle Wednesday, presuma bly for a motor trip. Returning they I told no one of their marriage.

One of the most dellgntful musU ! cales of the year was given last evening from 7 to 9:30 o'clock at the' Langren hotel, when a very tine pro gram was rendered by the hotel or- hestra,. and , vocal solos . were sung by Miss M. M. Richardson of ev York. Miss Richardson's work was considered by all present to be the feature of the evening, and her selec tions were roundly applauded. It was the first of a series of engage ments in which she will appear at the hotel. Mis3 Richardson has a very clear contralto voice that la rich in tone and feeling, and she completely ct,i tivated those who he .rd her last evening. "In the Garden oi My Heart" uossiblv proved U.d most ooDular of her, selections, although she received much api'Uuse for her singing "The Girl ' Tl.at 1 Have in Mind" ami ",A. Dream." w ' forced to answer a number of en cores, and for the last of these she a,,r,o. -silver Threads Among the Gold." The only criticisms oiicreu by those who were' present to enjoy the musical was that there could not he more of the vocal, scloc turns ,ru be more of the vocal selections. The oruan recital given by F. Flax- ington Harker, organist ami cnuii master of All Souls' cnurcn, i.m more, yesterday afternoon was a sig nal success, and the change of. hour from 6 o'clock to 4:30 o cluck in no way interfered with the usual l.irge attendance. Mr. Harker has decided to give the organ recital nevt Sunday nt this same hour, as it seems to dc a generally acceptable one.
