DOG FENNELS EVERYWHERE. Folkston's adopted flower is the beautiful dog fennel. It adorns the sidewalks and vacant lots and the beauty of the flower is that the town cow won't eat it.

BIG BRICK STORE. John S. Tyson, Jr. is having his Main Street lot cleared for the immediate erection of a handsome brick store, 32x65. Work begins at once, part of the material having arrived.
FOLKSTON LIBRARY. Six years ago the Womans Club started their library. At the beginning we had only 51 volumes and these were donated by the club members and non members who were interested in our work. Today we own our own club building which I am sorry to state is not large enough to give our books the right display at the present time. We now have on our shelves 989 volumbes having added to our library every year. Mrs. Albert Fleming, retiring librarian.
