Patton of the King's Daughters In
i Augusta. She spoke of the gratifica
tion she felt in listening to the reports,
and to know of all the work that had
been done by the circles during the
year, and that it was especially grati
fying to see the spiritual development
THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
and to know that the work had been
done tn the true spirit, for the love of
Christ and In His Name
She said that all should feet grate
ful for the Interest and sympathy man
ifested by the rltlr.cn* In their many
contributions from time to time; and
by the different organisation*, notably
among these being the very generous
contribution* given by so many citi
zens during the severe weather last
month, the Thanksgiving offering
given by the Ministerial association at.
tthe union service on Thanksgiving
day, and the Christmas offering from
the Mystic Hhrlners.
She said the press must ever be re
membered as always kind and helpful
In furthering the cause of the organ-
Ir.Rtlon. and to them must be accord
ed a •nil measure of appreciation.
That the Hoard of Charities and
the Associated charities are a great
help to the work of the King's Daugh
ters. and that all should feel deeply
grateful for their valued assistance.
Then followed an appeal for each
member to reconsecrate herself, at
the beginning of the new year, for
niore perfect service "In Hl* Name.”
That there should he a deeper
spirituality in the hearts of all. that
they should love Christ, be "loving
epistles seen and read of all men."
and keep ihe consecration prayer at
heart each day.
"Take me. l/ud. and use me today
as Thou wilt.
"Whatever work Thou hast for me
to do, give It Into my hands.
"If there are those Thou would**
have me to help In any wav, send
them to me.
"Take my time, and use It as Thou
wilt.
‘■|,et me be a vessel close to Thy
hand, and meet for Thy service, to be
employed only for Thee, and for min
istry to others Tn Ills Name.'"
"PROFESSOR NAPOLEON” TO
BE AN EXTENSIVE AFFAIR
No stage spectacle produced any
where |n this country even If It were
possible to bring here Maurice Grans
metropolitan outfit from New York
City to stir this enterprising com
munity to Its very depths more than
the heralded music extravaganza,
"Professor Napoleon," which will be
given under the imsplees of Patrick
Walsh Council. Knights of Columbus,
at the opera house. January 19 and 2n.
To witness one of the mammoth re
hearsals or to see the crowds going
to and from the rehearsal room in
the Dickey building, one would imag
Ine that seven thousand instead of 720
people were in th>- east.
ia the history of Augusta there has
never been so many people taking part
In any one production. It requires
about a score of stage managers to
handle this army of actors and many
ruoniH an- lieing engaged in the vi
cinity of the theatre to be used as
dressing rooms tor this horde of peo
ple. Every number and chorus is fill
eel and all are perfectly familiar with
most of their lines Htid music and
from now on rapid progress will he
made bringing the many parts to
gether and putting on the finishing
touches. The best vocalists, actors
and elocutionists in this vicinity will
sing and act the leading roles, among
them we find Mr. Jack Young as Pro
fessor Napoleon, who keeps everyone
at rehearsals convulsed with laughter
in his principal comedian part and al
though he has appeared in former
amateur plays here, every one admits
that his Impersonation of this char
acter eclipses beyond expectation all
previous uttempts.
PARTS NOT ALL TAKEN.
The announcement has lieen rr
-1 quested that several of the parts in
"Professor Napoleon” have not yet
been assigned, and those desiring to
lake part are asked to communicate
with Mrs. Susie Wheeless. chairman
of the committee of chaperones or
Mr John Fogarty, chairman of the
Knights of Columbus committee. At
each of the rehersals there are nt
least stx chaperones in attendance,
the members of that committee alter
nating.
' Sure. I am wearing the trousers
you were kind enough to give me. sir.

noted that there has been a very sub
stantial increase of $7,100.45. This

business being done by a city. The
percentage of the increase is 8.2.
This is very gratifping to the officials
at the office, as well as to the busi
ness men of the city.
It will be noticed that at the be*
ginning of the year the figures fell
short of those of the year before.
During only one month, besides Jan
uary, did the figures fall short of the
year before, and that was in July”
when the depression caused by the
low price of cotton was greatest.
With September, which is the begin
ning of the cotton year, the figures
took a decided junyi. In September
the increase amounted to $2,606.43
and the increase for the last three
months was steady and substantial.
The figures for the amount of the
sales of the stamps, stamped en
velopes, etc., at the Augusta postof
