The Closed Season
We carefully avoided the uae
of daaxltnir prlrea which might
have enannred. or Impossible
promises which might have en
trapped the unwary.
Our game haa been to acat-
ter our garmenta. each of which
poeaesaed ao many of the fine
points of excellent tailoring that
they had to stick to the nietnory
of all who saw them.

The Telegraph Sunday morning.
There will be a meeting of R. A.
Smith camp. Confederate veterans, In
city court room nt the courthouae
tonight for the purpose of further for
tnulatlng plana for the erection of thia
monument. It la now a certainty that
ahaft will he erected In Macon to the
women of tho South during the Civil
War. •
Those Who will meet tonight will
have In hand the details of securing
the proper subscriptions. The pur
pose now la to have the bass of tho
monument ready by early spring. Tho.e
who started tho plan are very en
thusiastic and will he active until the
propoalton la fully before the Macon
public.
There la no general mov# among tho
veterana at this aarly dale, but within
few day* \he purpose of erecting tide
monument will lie a general ona In
Macon. Since the announcement of the
plan the use of Georgia marble In both
bnee and ahnft haa been discussed. The
uae of Georgia marblr would require a
plain shaft on account of the fact that
this atona would not admit tho liner
work of the aoulptor'a chisel. Italian
marble would be necessary to erect
the llgure of a woman surrounded by a
group of children.
Many of the veterana have express 1
the desire thut the shaft be made
Georgia marble. If thle la decided
upon there will be a large base and a
tall, plain ahaft erected.

“BOB AND 1."
One of the most enjoyable social oc-
oaslonn of the holidays was the "open
houie" of the Volunteers at their arm
ory yesterday afternoon from 6 to 6
clock. Thia waa an occasion at
hlch all the friends of the company
were welcome and no Invitation# had
been iasued on account of the fact
that the general Welcome waa given
all friend#.
A large number of young people as
well a# the olderly member# and
friend# of the Volunteer# were present
thia occasion. The pleasure* of the
afternoon were numeroua. There waa
dancing, a Christmas tree with pres
ents for every one, and excellent music
furnished by an orchestra.
During the three hours of the "open
house" nearly all member* of the
company and an unusually large num
ber of the friend* Including the young
ladles were there to add pleasure to
the occasion and those present have
rarely enjoyed such an event.

Byron Rolic fer a Song.
I/indnn Dispatch to Chicago Chronicle.
Mr. Choate, whose passion for sport,
which ho caught late In life, remain*
unchanged, ha* now developed a fresh
avenue for hi* enthusiasm. He hns
become a lover of antique furniture
and curios of nil sort*. He I* especially
proud of hi* net of splendid old Chip
pendale bookcase* which line the walls
of his room nt the embnssy.
A few year* back, when the ambas
sador first dined w*th the Duke of
Cambridge^ nt Gloucester House, he
saw a magnificent rosewood and dia
mond-studded panel bookcase, which
he realised nt once would complete his
set. Kitting nt the table where hnlf
the crowned head* of Europe had been
entertnlncd. Mr. Choate said to hi*
royal *ho*t, who had observed hig
glance wander constantly to the book
case: "Ah. your roynl highness, you
should be the happiest man alive.”
"Why so, Mr. Choate?" naked the
duke.
"Well, If for no other reason, be
cause you have accomplished the de
sire of another mnn’* heart. That cab
inet I* the thing I’ve been living for
till now.”
"My dear sir," remarked the duke,
' would not part with thnt cabinet
for 5.000 guinea*. It belonged nt one
time to I/wd Byron and then came Into
the possession of laird Macnuley. and
keep It sacred to the work of both,
aa you will *ee."
At the sale of the duke's effect* by
public auction, Mr. Ohonte, through n
representative, purchased the book
case. for which, through the Ignorance
of It* history, there waa very little
bidding, at a sum In tho neighborhood
of 645.

On the line at the dULnt station are
a number of ao-called monolelepbonea
