The Daughters of Confederacy in Georgia are" doing much to advance the educational, historical and pat riotic interests of t.ie state, and the recent convention in Augusta Hliowed their work along all these lines. The Cedartown representatives, Mosdamcs W. 9. Coleman and G. 8. Borders, were delightfully entertained while there, and report an enjoyable meeting socially flfld In every other way. The Standard has been roiiueated Cedartown, and this to publish some facts reported by the delegation from the locul chapter, giving information to those who could not go to Augusta. Tlie Daughters conferred last year in Georgia 724 Crosses of Honor, and "AH Saints' Day," Nov. 1st, and "Jef ferson Davis Day,” June 3d, are hereafter to be observed and in ad dition to other special days, Crosses may be bestowed on old veterans on these two dajs. The badge or pin of the Daugh ters should he worn only as a de coration or token of membership in tho order, and not as a clothes or hairpin. Many owners abuse this badge of honor by bodily use, for getting that the state laws go so far as to make it a misdemeanor to so pervert this insignia. The monument to Maj. Wirz, the military commander of Andersonville prison during, tho war, will he lo cated at that plase, the Augusta con vention (I finitely deciding that long- dlscusstd ’problem. It Is to bo a $2,r>oo marble shaft. d The Rabun Gap school is a benefi ciary of tlio Daughters’ bounty, and their dormitory for girls is progress ing finely. Cedartown chapter hah contributed regularly to this noble work. "A Home for the Old Women of the Confederacy,” iu probably tlie next special work if the Daughters in Georgia. Mrs. Helen Plane, the honorary state j r s'.dett, has launched the movement, and some day a home for aged and helpless Confederate widows will be built in this state by theso patriotic women. Miss Alice Baxter, of Atlanta, was elected president, and the state con vention w.ll meet next yen- m Sav annah. SCHOOL NOTICE. At ecent meeting of that body the Board of Education of Polk county passed a resolution provid ing that the public school term may begin either Nov. 18th or Nov. 25th, and continue five months unless other wise ordered by'the Board, with one week’s vacation for Christmas. Oth er holidays are to be observedc by ap propriate exercises in the schools. Programs for tho observance of Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28th, Arbor Day, Dec. 6th, and Georgia Day, Feb. 12th. have already been mailed to the teachers. The Board requires also that all public school teachers, both principals and assistants, who do not hold a teacher’s license issued by this county, or a first grade license is sued from another county of this state, take a special examination In this county before beginning work as public school teachers. I will give special examinations for the conven ience of such teachers at my of fice on Saturday, Nov. 16, and also Nov. 23d. Teachers who expect to teach in this county on license issued from another county are required to present their license on one of the above named dates for approval and record. Very respectfully, J. E. LOVVORN. County School Commissioner. Col. W. E. Christian, for several Years the popular Assistant General Passenger Agent in Atlanta of the Seaboard Air Line, has resigned his position to accept a connection with a New York financial institution. He is succeeded by Mr. J. J. Pul ler, who has been with the Seaboard in Philadelphia for some time. Mr. Puller spent some time in Cedartown as the successor of Mr. W. L. Wood- row in the traffic management of this division of the Seaboard, and has many friends here who congrat ulate him on his position. .» The find duty of a bank is to its depositors, for their deposits are in the nature of trust funds. Its sec ond duty Is to its stockholders, who have invested their money in the en terprise, and its third obligation Is to its patrons and the publ.c at large. The banks of the country have very, generally taken tnio view of the matter, and have handled the diffi cult situation resulting from the re cent panic in accordance therewith. Never was the streng h aid stability of the banking institutions of the country better demons r. t d than dur Ing the past two week/, and It wat In full accordance with the three du ties above nient oner—o depositors, stockholders and the public—that nioLt of the banks of tin country have Issued clearing house certificates to tide over the currency famine. Our excellent banks here in Cedartown have not felt the necessity for such action, but have continued to hand out currency freely. The Atlanta clearing house certif.calis are accept- as full legal tender by our banks and business houses, and are prov ing a valuable aid in relieving the sit uation. Probably nowhere in tho South have the banks undertaken to do as much for the farmer by advancing] money on cotton as right here In fact is gen- | erally appreciated. Long after banks ! elsewhere ceased to loan money on cotton—or much of anything else, I for that matter,—on account of the scarcity of currency and the neces sity of protecting their depositors, our banks have been able to extend accommodations, and our local pay rolls have all been In currency. This !h certainly a splendid showing for these strong Institutions. The Cedartown Farmers’ Union at its meeting Saturday decided to recommend the l83u.uice of local clear ing house certificates, but In view of the brightening financial situation throughout the country it was deem ed unnecessary to resort to that ex pedient as yet. The New York banks rapidly building up their re serve to the legal requirements, and as soon as this is done the shipment of currency to tho South and West will commence on an adequate scale, and iho money market will resume normal conditions. [’here is Just as much money In i country as there ever was, and ! slien-like l imic i t ,Nu\v York following the fd.ure of tho big cop per speculator, Ileinz was without good reason. The ban! s^o^course, have been obliged to keep their funds subject to the call of the depositors, and this has creatid a scarcity of circulating medium. Advices from the money centers in dicate a mo: t gr.it.tying brighten ing of condilions, and we hope to see plenty of money turned loose very soon for handling the cotton crop In a satisfactory manner. It Is indeed fortunate that the Farmers’ Union and planters generally were holding their cotton, for if it had been rushed on the market as usual the panic would doubtless ha*e forced the prices to a much lower level. If you want to help the situation— and every patriotic ci then should try to do this,—put your moii.y prompt ly in the banks, and pay your bills by checks, just a3 business men gen erally do.

She was one of the fin est Christian characters I ever knew, gentle as a lamb and never wearied doing good for her family and friends. She had helped to raise her brother’s orphaned children, and her death was like the death of their own mother. All was done that could be done for her, but God wanted her to come and receive her crown of glory for the good she has already done. Don't weep for her, dear brother and sis ters and neices and nephew, for she will he one of the bright.'sts angels in heaven. Time, like an ever soothing stream, Bears all Its daughters away..
