They are fine for the garden or lawn, he says, grow from five to eight feet high and bloom profusely in June, July and August. They have great big crimson blooms which open as big as a plate. It is a hardy perennial and lives for years and blooms each year regardless of the weather. "I also have a lot of Mallow Marvel plants to give away," Mr. Davis writes. "They are white, pink and red with red the predominating color. I have plants that bore 4-V-\ r? v\ AAA WrtAmo loof voof IIIUI'C txxaxx ?iw wivA/iiw iauv jvui. These are often called Hibiscue. H. G.

"Seedmen sell the plants for 35 cents; I have none to sell, but will enjoy giving them away, and when I see them blooming on your lawn or garden and see that you enjoy having them, then I will feel repaid for my trouble. "Those wanting these plants can get them at my home, or if they will drop me a postal I will leave them at the Record office for them." . Mule Kick Proves Fatal To J. M.

"We certainly do not want any trash dumped in sight of any other road leading into Warrenton. It is bad enough there, but we can't seem to get it placed out of sight of the road and if it must be dumped near any road we rather have it at the present place," a member of the club commented yesterday. Both white and negro families are asked to co-operate for a real drive toward community cleanliness during all of the week. Limer Says Readers Will Like New Book By J. WILLIAM LIMER One of the new books in the Memorial Library should have many readers, telling as it does, the life history of the Stuart Prince "Bonnie Prince Charlie, one of the most attractive characters that we know anything or, spoken or oy nis enemies as "The Young Pretender", but looked on by friends and adherents, who could be counted by thousands, as the lawful heir, through his father, to the throne of a kingdom. Those who read it will learn how the kilted clansmen, led by their chieftains, left the mountains and glens of the Scottish Highlands, putting in peril their families, possessions, life itself, to follow a gay and gallant adventurer, and will read how they swept down through the lowlands crossed the Border, and marched toward London, after fighting a pitched battle with disciplined . Ji.; xi ?T ' iroops, seiung me wxiuie ujuuujt aflame. Some time ago a friend asked me to tell him something of Flora Macdonald, as he had often thought he would like to know more of her history, and the part she played in saving one of the Stuart princes from being captured, and I wonder if there are not some of our readers who feel the same way. If they will read the book they will find the whole story remarkably well told, and will find our own state brought into it, and incidentally will learn why Scotland cherishes the name and memory of Flora Macdonald as that of one of her greatest heroines, equally with that one who in order to delay for a f? fV?rvoc* TirVir* cniiahf. hpr 1CW Illuniuii I/O I/XIUOU TT ix\/ ?wv*j3*?v ?.W. king's life, closed a door, and, finding that the bar had been made 1 away with, thrust her arm into the bar socket, thus holding the door and gaining a little time for the fleeing monarch. After reading the life of the "Bonnie Prince" if you would like to read more of the times in which he played a part, ask the Librarian for Sir Walter Scott's "Waverly". Romance certainly! but such romance, telling of an adventurer nrVin wiqtoh fnr a. kingdom and a VY I1U VU w u? crown, his life and the lives of those who took part with him being the forfeit. Many a good things has been pulled off on Friday, the 13th?by fellows who forgot the date. I ,r*f MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 12 CLINICS It) BEGIN COUNTY SCHOOLS .

"We are asking the co-operation of all the parents of the county in bringing the children to the consolidated school in their district on the days listed. While we have sent letters to some of the parents notifying them of the clinics, others have not been notified due to inability to obtain their names and correct addresses." Mrs. Jones will be assisted in the work connected with the clinics by several of the county physicians.
