bread at Kassel's, and that any poor
man or woman could go there and get
a loaf of bread, r two loaves, or
more, whatever his family and appe
tite called for. Yesterday an Inves
tigation disclosed the fact that twenty
families had called for bread anywhere
from one to four loaves every da’’.

do not come in personal contact with
it. And yet this sorrow and Huftcrina;

the poor and it lakes very little hunt

fortunately it has only recently be
come known personally to a man who
Is In a position to alleviate in more
ways than one the want of the poor.
Not only Is this man feeding the hun
gry, but those who are In need of
work are having It found for them;
the sick are to be eared for and the
destitute little children are not to he
forgotten. Surely this Is a beautiful
way to celebrate the glad Xmas sea
son, doing unto others, giving of your
mite or of your abundance, helping
those who are down and out and plac
ing them In a wuy to help themselves.
What a glorious thing It w-ould be
If some other man would start a simi
lar bread station In the mill district,
as most of the sorrow and suffering
seems to he from that quarter of the

; go such a ways for their bread.
The marriage of Miss Esther Marks
Simmons and Mr. Maurice Klein of
Greenville, S. C„ will take place Tues
day at high noon at the Simmons
house on the Hill, a pretty affair cele
brated with the beautiful old Jewish

j Following the ceremony there will be
a reception and later the young cou
| pie will leave for a wedding trip North.
| After January first they will be at
home In Greenville, S. C.
Miss Simmons will have for her only
I attendant her young sister, Miss Sa

The passing away in Baltimore last
week of Henry Clay Cranston was a
great shook to his many old home
friends, many of whom had no Idea
that he was even sick. There is no
man whj had over been more general
ly remembered after leaving Augusta
thnn was Henry Cranston. Every
Xmas ho would rome back for a visit
with his relatives and to spend the
holiday season with hia old friends.
Sometimes, at other seasons, he would
drop In on them for a little visit, and
In this way he always kept In close
touch with them and the Interests of
hts old home city. He was always
genial and Jolly, care-free and happy,
or appeared to be; he always felt
well, If he didn't he never let his
friends know to the contrary, and his
visits were always most welcome. This
Xmas season he came back to them,
hut how different was the coming!
There was no cheery smile, no cor
dial handclasp, no hearty greeting, hilt
quiet and still nnfl wrapped In the
awful dignity of death. • • • Years
will come and go and many who have
been loved and keenly moaned will
he forgotten, but the friends who knew
and loved Henry Cranston will always
hold him in loving remembrance.
Did you know that Xmas was to
nenln tip bountifully pelotiratod in AU
guMta this year 1 The Choral Sinner a
ara acain to be out Xmas Eve nlfflil
and the town will rhi* and resound
to the glad strains of Xmas carols.
This was made definitely known at
ttye last committee meeting of the Au
guata Woman's Club, and committees
are now busy arranging details rela
tive to the beautiful celebration.
It Is tbe purpose of the eluh to get
all the Sunday school scholars as well
uh the other children In the city to
gether to sing. They will have their
central meeting point Hnd there will he
the big Christmas tree, which will ho
wired by the Augusla-Alken Electrical
Company. This will either be placed
at the Court House lawn, as It was
last year, or at ltarrett Plata. Tlio
singers will gather around it, sing
thetr anthems and then disband into
squads and go to the different parts
of the city, the Jail, the Mary Warren
Home, the Hospitals, the Widows'
Home. etc. Each Sunday school will
sing their own earols, the ones they
have been practising for several weeks,
so the Joining In the celebration will
entail no extra work on the children.
They will start from their own Sun
day schools and sing on tholr way to
the central meeting point, where all
will Join In singing "All Hall the Pow
er of Jesus' Name," "Joy to the
World,” "Hiu-k the Herald Angels
Sing." ending up with magnificent old
"America."
The Music Department of the Au
gusta Woman's Club will lead the
carol singers. There will he a meet
ing of the executive boar# of the Wo
men's Club held Monday afternoon
when the Sunday school superintend
ents are asked to meet with them to
formulate plans in regard to the cele
bration.
Torre are very few men passing into
the Great Beyond who leave behind
them us pleasing echoes of a life well
lived as those resounding through th*
halls of memory dedicated to Mr.
Prank Poster, once of Augusta, more
recently of Madlaon.
This widely admired Oeorglan was
not only a gentleman of the old school,
such as we rarely see now in the New
South, amt not only a business man
of force and ability, but he was the
most loyal of friends, the most liberal
of helpers, and the most comprehend
ing of sympathisers. During his life
In Augusta Ills hidden kindnesses en
deared him to many who had reason
to bless his generosity, and his
thoughtful consideration for all made
Ills removal something deplored by the
whole city.
The news of his recent passing to
nnother city, a City not made with
hands, while at the liomr of hie sister
In Atlanta, recalls vividly to the mind
of one friend a picture not only beau-

When you speak of a $5.00 shoe you mean a shoe that costs YOU $5.00. The same shoe is sold by
the manufacturer at $2.85, the jobber sells it for $3.45 and the retailer sells it for $5.00.
Intrinsically those shoos are worth as much when the manufacturer appraises them at $2.85 as when
the dealer tries them on your foot and offers them to you at $5.00. The difference between $2.85 and $5.00
is what it costs to get the shoes to you over the old-fashioned trade turnpike, with three toll-gates.
THE STANDARD SAMPLE SHOE STORE buys shoes direct from the manufacturer as samples and
sells them to you the‘same way. They invite the patronage of the man or woman who objects to paying for
the privilege of allowing a jobber to handle his shoes. They are the same shoes BUT FOR LESS MONEY.
We are increasing our business instead of decreasing it. We make the assertion, and we can prove
it, that we are doing the biggest shoe business in Augusta. The reason for it is that we sell shoes for ex
actly what they are worth. Come and see how we do it.
