Daughters of the Margaret
Jone3 Chapter:—As we stand
on the threshold ot another year
and beckoning hands welcome us
to the coming days fraught with
golden opportunities. Let us pause,
looking backward on the work of
1S98.
Jan. 19th. at a social gathering
the evening was spent in nonor of
the birthday of the immortal Lee,
while in song and poetry were told
deeds of love and heroism.
On April 26th the veterans were
entertained at dinner with true
Southern hospitality.
June 3d, the birthday of Jeffer
son Davis, we paid a fitting tribute
to his memory. Resolutions were
received from various chapters
throughout the South congratula
ting the Margaret Jones Chapter on
the bill passed by the legislature
tnakiDg this day a legal holiday.
At the re-union of the veterans
in July we were ably represented
by Mrs. McMaster and Miss Cox
while other daughters from the
Chapter enjoyed the Gate City’s
hospitality.
$15.25 was raided in response to
an appeal for Emmet, the author of
Dixie, but as no reply to our letter
was received the amount ha3 been
laid aside as a relief fund.
$79 04 awaits a call from the Bat
tle Abbey Committee.
$1.00 was given to a destitute
veteran.
$1 00 sent to Athens, Ala,, for the
re-interment of their Confederate
dead.
$1.00 for the Davis memorial win
dow in St. Paul’s church, at Rich
mond. Va.
$10 00 contributed to purchase a
banner presented to the veterans
by ’he Georgia Diyision of Daugh
ters.
$10 00 through Mrs. Emory E
Park lor the Confederate museum
at Richmond, Va.
$5 00 to the Winnie Davis monu
ment.
Our Chapter sent resolutions to
Mrs. Davis when the Daughter of
the Confederacy crossed over the
river. Love spans the darn flood
of Death with the pure bridge of
Faith and beyond the purple rim
ot sunset one can catch a glimpse of
the golden city.
The Angel of Death has again in
vaded our ranks and in June we
laid Caliie McElmurray Whitehead
in the silent city—God’s acre.
Once more the Angel of Peace hov
ers over an united country. In the
late eventful struggle our women
have been where works of love,
kindness and tenderness were to be
performed or a sacrifice made for
the weal of mankind. At last the
president of the United States nas
asked that the government be at
lowed to share the sacred duty of
caring for the graves of those that
kept the faith as it were given them
by the fathers true to the tradition
of their lineage, bold, generous and
free, firm in conviction of the right;
ready at their country’s call, stead
fast in their duty; faithful even in
despair and illustrating in the un
flinching heroism of their deaths
the freeborn courage of their lives.
For two years you have conferred
upon me your highest honor. Fully
have I appreciated this expression
of your regard but believing the
best interest of our Chapter will be
advanced by a rotation of office I
beg that another be called to this
labor of love. Gladly should we
greet the new year, full of promise
for
“Sometime our eyes shall see
The silyer lining to the darkest cloud,
While silvery echoes follow thunders loud.
Sometime our hearts shall be content, for
getting all our restless moods,
And knowing everything has worked for
good—
The how, and when and why be under
stood . ”

The Planters Loan & Savings Bank,
of Augusta, is able to call that its
Red Letter year in business. As
the president of this incorporated
institution is a Burke county young

tioning the fact that it stands as
high as any savings bank we can
now recall to mind in the South.
This bank pays 4% on deposits
and has now from undivided profits
over $16,000, and over $267,000 re
corded deposits for 1898. Its re
sources for the same year were in
excess of $334,000,'over doubling its
business for 1896,
This is destined to be one of Geor

With the compliments of the sea
