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 EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF WOMAN’S CLUB.
