Our chapter is a few days more tlian
a yi ar old and while we are young and
small in number, we are enthusiastie and
tool that success has crowned our efforts
during the year.
Ihe meetings have been well attend
ed. We never have failed to have our
regular monthly meetings, our regent
always presiding. Georgia day and
Washington's birthday were celebrated
ill tlie public school with splendid pro
grams of music and readings under the
chairmanship of one of our members. A
beautiful Washington birthday reeep
tion was tendered the chapter by Mrs.
I!. M. W. (ilenn.
iiur interest in educational and patri
otic work is deep and earnest. “We be
lieve that no nation can hope for a great
tomorrow that is faithless to the chil
dren of today,” therefore the work that
presents itself to us most strongly is
the education of Georgia boys and girls,
thus fitting them for the positions they
are entitled to fill in civic and social
relations.
We gave a scholarship in the Martha
Kerry school near Home to a young
girl in our county the past year and
have pledged ourselves for a continu
ance of the same for the coining year.
Our committee on revolutionary sol
diers' graves, with Mrs. .John \\. Kale,
chairman, has been able to locate with
certainty that of William Fariss, woh
was the great grandfather of Dr. S. W.
Farriss of this place.
The graves of these soldiers are being
eared so rin every state where their
sacred ashes lie, the expense of mark
ing them is not great, marble head
stone, are furnished by the government
free of charge.
I Mir chapter has a fine list of sub
scribers to the American Monthly Mag
azine. our official organ, from which we
derive a great deal of pleasure.
We have been honored by having our
historian, Mrs. -I. K. Patton, appointed
1 member of the historical research
committee by Mrs. Martlm Scott, presi
dent general.
Another honor of which our chapter is
justly proud is the ancestress of Mrs
Kllen Nelnuin Fortune. Mrs. Josiah
Hatchett, who is a real daughter, and
is now living at Douglasville. Go.
The report of our treasurer shows all
dues and obligations paid, and we have
collected from dues and donations
$8*2.!10. 11l addition we gave an old
fashioned dinner and cleared the sum of

We have issued a very neat ami at
tractive Year Book, programs for the en
tire year being outlined.
There is nothing of historical interest
near our town that is not being looked
after, therefore (he Wm. Marsh chapter
hopes to see much accomplished for the
sanitation and beauty of LaFayette. A
rest loom and Wm. Marsh chapter house
are the big tilings the chapter hopes to
to see completed in the next few years.
It cannot possibly he for ourselves,
hut for the good of our little city and
for the pleasure and convenience of our
lady friends from the country that we
are undertaking the erection of the rest
room. A worthy cause and one of coin-
FOIIR
moil interest to all. a work worthy of
the men and women from whom we
sprung, the founders of America. "Be
ye worthy of your ancestors.”
The year has passed quickly and
pleasantly. After business was trans
acted the social hour has been greatly;
enjoyed, and it can be said harmony
reigned supreme, as we have adopted
I lie motto of our chapter, “We are one
by memory of our fathers.”
Though we are only a year old, we
point with pride to what has been ac
complished in this short time by our
little chapter, and trust as we grow in
years and experience that we may also
grow in usefulness and that in doing
what our hands find to do we may not
only benefit those who are with us, but
that we may he a blessing to those com
ing after us, and that we may do things
worthy of ns as descendants from a
noble and honored ancestry.
The object of the Wm. Marsh chapter
as set out in-the by-laws is: “The ob
ject of the chapter shall be to perpetuate
the memory and the love of freedom of
the men and women who achieved
American independence, to mark the
graves of all revolutionary soldiers in
this section, to study the early history
of the United States, particularly of the
revolutionary period; to foster true
patriotism among young and old, and
in any way 'possible develop a consci
entious observance of the high duties of
American citizenship.
“To live in the hearts we leave behind
is not to die.”
