From the stage your name was mentioned an o-ne of the real daugh ters. and tile fact of General Washington’s commemoration for bravery of your father on the lb id of King’s Mountain swept 'the house with applause. The Macon Chap iter's clft of SSO to the Continental Hall was most credltatble —Atlanta giving $25 - Augn.'.a none. I met Mrs. Donald Mo lzan for one brief moment at the recep tion, and when I gave tier my credentials as your friend she gave to me all the cor- . diality due to her affection for you, send ing yon many messages of love, when the crowd that continually surrounded her parted us, and only a hearty hand grasp and radiant smile were left to mo. ‘‘Mrs. Daniel Manning, as you know was the succt sful candidate for President General.

It made me Chink of the famous (Bucking ham's speech on the eve of battle, ‘Com rades remember, next to a successful vic tory is a masterly retreat. “I pon the giving of the badges to the founders many beautiful speeches were ma le, but e finest was from tha’t dueen liest of women, your friend.

But I know she has not 'told what 1 can of the Impression she made where soever .-he went, for she won golden opin- j ions everywhere. Not only on account of her rare beauty of person, which made her the handsome : woman at the reception where 2,500 women had been bidden and came, but on '. 'count of her graceful graclousncss of manner, that made even Str.uigi is .'-el that the Maty A. Washing ton Chapter in honoring her had honored ithemeselvcs. .” ♦ * * The D. A. R. Congress seems to have combined in a pleasure style, fashion and family, and patriotism has by no meams in'terferred with the love of pretty clothes. The W ashington Host describes two won derfully pretty gowns, thus: “The D. A. R. Congress, by the way. was a thing to have made the soul of a fashion writer leap with her. for Was'i lington has never seen a better dressed . body of women. Not only the delegates wire elegantly garbed, but 'he young wo men who acted as ushers were some of them veritable fashion plates. “Miss Ballinger was’one of the ushers, and the gown she appeared in on Wednes day morning quite made one forget the regttlar order of business. It was of white cloth, lined with cerise silk. About the hem of the skirt and among the laces on 'the corrage were bands of ermine, and here and there the gown had rows of lace under which the cerise lining showed. It was a delghtful gown, and Miss Bailing! r trailed it about the dusty aisles quite as unconcernedly as if white gowns grew on trees —family trees —and perhaps they do for her. “Personally I don't know anything about Mrs. Daniel Manning's qualification for the office to which she was elected Thurs day, but if I had been a delegate to that congress I would have needed noth ing but the toilet Mrs. Manning appeared in to convince nte of her fitness for any office under the sun. It was a master- $2.60 Lace Button. $2.50 Flexible Very Sole, Stylish Bevel And Edge. Comfortable $2.50 Ch L °“e ate $250 Phone 29. CLISBY & McKAY. I piece, that gown of hers. It was of cash mere—l •think it’s called cashmere —of a soft violet color. It. was la vishly embroid ! ered with a silken cord, in which a glint I of silver showed. The- embroidery was of ! the cut-out sort, and underneath It one I caught glimpses of the softest pale green i chiffon. There were sable bands on the ' sash, and the vest was of turquoise vel • vet. The jewels on the long lorgnous chain j Mrs. Manning wore were emeralds, and i her flowers were violets She endured the ; strain of the long day with a well-bred i composure, which showed her the very great lady she is, and I am quite sure that gown must have been a consolation to her, ; even In ""’.e most trying moments.” i That last idea may sound somewhat frivolous to a man, but women know that \ moral and mental and physical strength i are augmented by the consciousness of be j Ing perfectly ’gowned. Not that the wo- I ma® who is attired in the mpst exquisite I taste is the one to think most of her I clothes. No indeed, for she can afford to I be unconscious of such trivialities as bon nets and gowns. It is the one who is just l a little uncertain of her dressmaker bhat ■ finds her loftiest thoughts interrupted by I the fear that her skirt doesn’t “set right" i or her waist fit. The writer in the Host also remarks uppn “the air with which the members of the D. A. R. speak ofyiheir annual con- I vent ion as “The Congress.’ When they j mean that in.-fgnificnnt body up on Capitol i Hill -they say ‘they United States Congress, or' the Senate and the House.’ ” Miss Willie Burke, who has. been visit in'; Miss Huguenin and Miss Stetson, left Saturday afternoon for a visit to friends in Forsyth.

MANCHESTER INCORPORATED The Neatest Thing That Has Been Done in These Parts in Some Time. ELECTION LAST SATURDAY. The Movement Has Been Going On for Some Time Vineville Knocked Out. Positively the’ neatest thing in the way of finesse that has been practiced in these parts for some time was thg incorporation of Manchester which was effected on Sat urday last. So cleverly was the whole thing done that the newspapers did not get an ink ling of what was going on right under their noses, and the injunction fiend, the politician and the chronic kicker were all left in the lurch. The whole thing in a nut-shell is. that the property about Manchester Mills which has been heretofore regardcr as a part of the future city of Vineville was incorpor ated on Saturday last by a vote of 40 of the inhabitants. The population o£ Man chester, which consists of a eotton mill ■and a eoleny of operatives is possibly 300 all 'told. The new city is about twenty five acres big and is, strictly speaking, a manufacturing centre situated upon the Central railroad about two and a half or three miles from Macon. The petition to the superior court was filed in the clerk’s office on Friday night, or on the day before the election for or against incorporation was recited as set to take place. The clerk of the court evidently wished to assist the incorporators in their plan of secrecy so far as the ' newspapers were concerned for he “forgot” conveniently that such an important paper had been filed until after the polls had closed and a majority of the voters of Manchester had decided to form themselves into a muni cipality. On Saturday evening ’.the clerk “remem bered” the paper, and the public for the first time learned the news. The petition recites that ns no news paper is published in Manchester, notices of the proposed incorporation and the day of the election were posted in conspicuous places throughout the proposed municipal ity. It is to be presumed that the notices were posted and that the places selected were conspicuous but somehow no one saw them. • In this way the Manchester Mills people stole a march on the Vinevillians. Now if Vineville incorporates, she will .incorporate without Manchester Mills, which has all along been looked upon as a par t of Vine ville. When the incorporation of Vineville as a separate town was so mush talked about, 'Manchester Mills and the Manches ter Mills’ taxes were eonsiderefl an im portant factor in the new city. The property is .a valuable one and its taxes would have ma-toriaHy assisted in the expenses of the new city. But the own ers of Manchester were not to be caught. They get ahead of Vineville, and being now incorporated it Is not probable that they will trouble with sewers or that the first city budget will be extremely bulky. The fact of the matter is that Manches ter will proceed with the developments of her municipal interests with extreme cau tion and that the growth of the city will not be on the mushroom order. The work of the mayor and aldemen will be extremely light, 'though the board of health will probably take steps to'prevent infectious diseases from being brought to the city. It is not known as yet whether Manchester will quarantine against Macon in consequence of the smallpox but such may be the first step taken by the new board when it is elected. WHBIT fl WORD.

There is no question but that f: the Redfern Corset is the first today in favor with those ladies who want the best. True, it costs a g r little more than other Corsets, but it is far cheaper r in the end than any other Corset made. Corset Department Second Floor ,1
