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. CAPT. GEO. R. BRIGGS, Com. MAJ. A. D. BURKE, Adjt.

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 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. FOR SALE—AN ELECTRIC CAR bonator and Gauge at a bargain; Puffer make. L. W.
