children upon the same subjects, and
to Influence public opinion to support

THE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES—THE ONLY PAPER IN MANY HOMES
AUGUSTA. GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING. MARCH 22. 1914.
New Things Arrive Daily
Every day there’s something new for you to see in this store. Most
houses with a stock as complete as ours would be satisfied to sit down
and say: *‘Here’s what we have, hope it will suit you.” But there's a
progressive spirit throughout this house. We are continually reaching
out. We’re just as anxious to secure “something new” as you are, and
the success of our unceasing efforts is exemplified in the many new
things we are showing each day. That's why the new things are al
ways first shown at Von Kamp, Vaughan & Gerald’s.
Won’t you come in and see them?

was .presented to Miss Thelma Nich

Mr. Oswood Yopp, a book. Miss An
nie Mae Atkinson and Mr. Albert
Bruckner were awarded the consola
tion prizes, a stick of candy tied with
red ribbon each. After the prizes
were awarded music was played while
a delicious salad course was served.
After this a game of cards was play
ed till a late hour.

sufficient number to supply prizes for
each table for a bridge party she ex

will also use the score curds with the
pine decorations. All this goes to
show how our beautiful and ever fa

HAVE TALENT TEA
The Women’s Missionary Society
of the First Baptist Church will have
at 4:15 Monday afternoon a tea for
the ingathering of talents given out
several weeks ago. The following
clever rhyme fells its purpose, and
gives the invitation:
“At four-fifteen on Monday, we'll have
a Judson lea.
We ask you one and all to come and
bring an oTf-ring free.
To some we've given a talent, our
coin to multiply.
They’ve worked, we’re sure, and have
not shirked, nor laid their tal
ent by.
Now bring the gain, talent—be sure
to eome in time,
And how you worked, tell if yon will,
In either prose or rhyme.
If to this cause you’ve given naught,
come join us now,
And bring at least one carfare, pray
do, for each week the whole
year thro’.
You know the so-called ‘little things
menu much in every life.
Enough small gifts will build a home
lor Mr. Lowe and wife.”
