The following is a copy of a letter
mailed by the M. & M. Association
Friday to members who have stores
and employes, and Is self explana
tory :
April 24, 1914.
Dear Sir:
It is respectfully suggested that the
members of the Merchants and Manu
facturers Ass’n. close their places of
business as far as practicable, not n
ter than 2 o'clock on Monday after
noon next, April 2th, and join in the
celebration of Memorial Day.
W should, all, be willing to do this,
not only out of compliment to the good
women of Augusta, who for so many
years have loving kept this day sac
red to us and our children, but even
more so in honor of the dead who gave
all that they had to the defense of our
homes and firesides.
It is hoped that the members of
this Association will join heartily in
this general celebration of Memorial
Day, 1914.
Yours very truly.

Monument on Broad street was beau
tifully decorated with red arid white
bunting and wreaths of evergreen and
flowers. The procession tomorrow af
ternoon as it passes will salute the
shaft out of respect to those in. whose
memory it stands.
There will no doubt be thousands
to line the sidewalks along the line
of march as each year there is a very
great deal of interest shown •in this
highly spectacular event. It is the
one big parade of the year.
Will Gather at Cemetery.
Following the parade thousands of
people will gather at the cemetery to
witness the exercises in the soldiers'
section and hear the oration of the
day. A no better selection could have
been made for the orator. The abil
ity of Dr. Jones as a speaker is well
known. There will be special music
at the afternoon exercises.
This year for the first time the per
gola recently built for permanent use
on Memorial Day will be occupied by
those taking part in the day’s exer
cises.’ It will be a decidedly more
attractive stand and better in every
way for the purpose it serves.

The following is the order for the
military portion of the exercises at
the cemetery and also the parade:

decided by the Augustans to ask con
gress to order a survey of the river
from the Hocks to Butler's Creek this
summer and for the expenses to be de
frayed from out of a sum already ap
propriated for the Savannah river.
If the survey is made this summer
the city will be in a position to urge
her claims for an appropriation at the
next session of congress.
Mr, Pope made this report to Chair
man Thomas Barrett, of the River &
Canal Commission yesterday.
that has already been done might
count for naught.
The greatest difficulty that Is con
fronting the bond issue just now Is
to get the people Interested suffic

ballots.

Kelleiuiau Is a native American, but some of Ids greatest successes have been achieved In foreign countries.
In Germany, for three years, he sang leading baritone roles at the Berlin Royal Opera.
It was while achieving success as an organist that Kellerman discovered his ability as a vocalist, nnd, ap

After a few years Kellerman abandoned his brilliant, promising operatic career to engage In lleder and ora
