THE U. D. C. CONVENTION
AT EASTMAN.
The Georgia state convention of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, which
met last week in Eastman, Ga., was
attended by delegates from all the
Georgia chapters and reports very
gratifying from all the chapters were
heard. Aside from the business ses
sions the social features of the con
vention were very delightful. The
most interesting thing to Augustans
was the petition presented by Mr.
McD. Wilson of Atlanta, that all the
state chapters should co-operate and
assist in the erecting of a memorial
to James Ryder Randall. The petition
was accepted and a motion made and
unanimously carried that all the chap
ters help. Miss MIlMe Rutherford gave
a fine little talk endorsing most heart
ily the movement and Mrs Sanford
Gardner was appointed chairman to
appoint committees to at once get to
work to secure contributions. There
is already a fund of several hundred
dollars and this with the contributions
from the Daughters will enable the
meorlal to soon be erected. It has not
yet been definitely decided Just what
or where this memorial will be.
The next state convention will be
at Thomasvllle, In 1915

THE GREATEST SALE Of THE YEAR
Warm Weather, European War and Low Price Cotton Has
Somewhat Upset Our Fall and Winter Campaign
TO BE PLAIN ABOUT THE MATTER, BUSINESS CONDITIONS ARE NOT WHAT WE FIGURED
ON. WE SIMPLY BOUGHT TOO MANY GOODS AND NOW WE FIND OURSELVES OVERSTOCKED.
We must unload at once! The profit is yours. Our loss means gain for you! Our haste is your opportunity!
These tremendous price-concessions are perhaps unnecessarily great, but we are not taking chances as to results.
These goods must go, and they will go! Such prices make that a practical certainty.
This stock of goods which we are offering at sacrifice prices is paid for and we could hold it until trade con
ditions change for the better, but we believe in taking our medicine now and in creating business during a dull
period.
This sale is fully sixty days ahead of any similar sale—Von Kamp, Vaughan & Gerald leads the way with the
sharp reductions. Buyers may this week secure the handsomest, most exclusive Winter Suits, Coats and
Skirts,brilliant in their present moment style, at Three-Quarters Price and less, in time for early fall use and in time,
too, for a full season’s wear.
