HEADQUARTERS CAMP
SPIVEY NO. 1539 U. C. V.
Broxton, Ga., May 29, 191 G.
At a regular meeting of the Camp
on January 19, 1916, the officers and
members passed the following reso
j lution:
To the General Assembly of the
(Georgia Legislature:
With all appreciation of yowr Acts
in regard to the Pension aws, we do ]
appreciate all that you have done j
along that line.
Whereas, the old confederates are
growing old and more feeble as the
years go by, we do earnestly ask that
you amend the law so that the con
federate soldiers and widows can draw
from the banner State of the South
in 1917,3100.00 instead of $70.00, with
a raise of SIO.OO per year for four
years.
Why can’t our grand old State of
Georgia give these old soldiers who
gave the best part of their young lives
and manhood to their country, their
homes and the cause they all loved so
well? Alabama, Florida and other
states are giving their soldiers $100.;
why can't our good old Georgia give
her soldiers a smuch as any other state
in the South; why wait until they are
all dead and then put a SIOO. bouquet
on their coffins? If we can’t strew
flowers along the pathway of life, for
God’s saks do not wait until they are
all dead to help them, for it will be
everlastingly too late.
Now gentlemen, the law makers of
Georgia, we submit this resolution to
your careful and prayerful consider
ation.

WOMAN’S CLUB OF DOUGLAS;
RESUME OF YEAR’S WORK
On Thursday afternoon the Wom
an’s Club met with a good attendance
to elect officers for the year.
This being' the last meeting of the
club year, ws a very interesting one.
The president asked for informal
meetings during the summer months
so that the club might not be asleep,
although no heavy duties would be
imposed until October, except the
compiling of the new year book.
The club voted to give five dollars
towards cleaning up the city property
around Gaskin Spring, and a most
beautiful appreciation from Miss Nola
Johnson was read to the club.
The following officers elected:
Treasurer, Mrs. W. S. Durst; Sec
retary, Mrs. F. M. Appleby; Cores
ponding Secretary, Mrs. F. W. Dart;
Reporter for Douglas papers, Mrs. W.
R. Frier; Reporter for Atlanta pa
pers, Mrs. L. E. Heath; Parliamen
tarian, Mrs. J. Quincey.
Under the capable management of
Mrs. M. D. Dickerson, and with the
ardent co-operation of many of the
members, the club has grown during
the year from thirty to fifty-eight
members. The membership is divid
ed into committees, each with author
ity to work out their plans according
to their individual ideas. They in
clude the Educational Committee, the
Park Committee, the Library Commit
fee, the Civic Committee and Mem
bership Committee. All of these com
mittees have done well, and exerted
their best efforts during the year.
With the hearty co-operation of
Miss Nola Johnson, the House Eco
nomics worker, the rural and educa
tional committees have been able to
install a model kitchen in the New
Forest school, where demonstrations
are sometimes held.
The Club has furnished a beautiful
Rest Room, with the aid of the busi
ness houses of the town, has made the
park comfortable and attractive with
seats and swings, and in this same
Rest Room have held demonstrations
of practical cooking for the benefit of
the country women, who gather there.
Plans for a Club House are now in
progress and hope to be completed
during the summer, and the Library
Committee has made a small begin
ning on the public library, which also
intends to assume some proportions
during the summer.
The Civic Committee has taken
much their clean-up work
around the towrPahh-ftU.Ye_organized
a Junior Club.
The Club was well represented at
the District Meeting at Blackshear,
and felt duly proud of their report.
The Woman’s Club of Douglas is
] living, growing, and threatens to as
sume alarming proportions, hence the
Club House.

STOLEN JEWELRY RETURNED
“ TO OWNERS THRU THE P. O.
The jewelry stolen from Fidlding &
Sibbett’s jewelry store last week, a
report of which was given in this pa
per, has been recovered, at least ail
of it with the possible exception of a
few rings.
The discovery of the loss was found
Thursday morning when the back door
was found broken open. On Saturday
morning Mr. Fielding received a pack
age at the postoffice here which con
tained all the stolen jewelry, with the
possible exceptions above noted. There
was no postage on it and no clue giv
en as to who mailed the package.
Evidently the party or parties had a
remorse of conscience or began to
fear the results of being arrested, and
decided to give up the goods, and
thought this the best possible way to
get them back to the rightful owner.
The matter will now probably be
dropped and no further pursuit made
by the officers of the law.
