C, 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 . ” LILLIAN W, NEELY.

As hard as last year proved to be to the South on account of the fail ure of planters in realizing fair prices for the staple product, cotton, 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 business maD, we take pride in men 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 gia’s greatest business institutions. With the compliments of the sea son we wish it continued success. Alexander. Correspondence Citizen. Miss Cora Skinner left Saturday for Savannah where she will make her future home. Rev-J. A. Rice filled his appoint ment Saturday and Sunday and preached an interesting sermon. No death could have occurred in any community where he was born, lived and died, that could call forth more sincere regret and sorrow than that which come upon us in the death of Thomas Y. Herrington. He died at his home near Sardis, after a sickness of a few day. He was buried with Masonic honors last Tuesday, being laid at rest in the cemetery of Sardis Baptist .church, of which church he was a beloved and honored member. A more esteemed note will appear in the next issue. Mesdames R. L PerKiRS and Inous Rogers, of Perkins, was in our midst a few 7 hours this week. Mr. Tom.

This Is regretted by all- This week is being observed by the Womans’ Missionary Society of the Baptist church as a week of prayer. The meetings are well at tended and full of interest.
