NEWS OF SOCIETY ... fact that moat of these people had walked one and two miles to get the bread, all of which goes to show that they mont have been in want. Other facts even more sad were developed. There were cases of piteous want and suffering, such as few realise If they do not come in personal contact with it. And yet this sorrow and Huftcrina; has been here for a long time. Tobre Is alwnys sickness and suffering among the poor and it lakes very little hunt ing to develop it so that U can be seen with the naked eye.

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 ; city and the poor and hungry have to ; go such a ways for their bread.

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- I tlful In itself hut richly suggestive ot Mr. Foster's typical nttltude to the young gnd old, which extremes of age I appealed to him even more than did | his own contemporaries. however congenial. | It was In front of one of the great cotton warehouses, and the little group was silhouetted with telling effect against the glowing Western sky.

The old gentle man was a friend, a comrade, to whom Ills loyalty me«fnt much of courage I and strength. The little girl was Mr. I Foster's daughter, new Mrs. Schuyler | Leggett, of New York Just a memory, yes, hut It Is such I memories ns these thnt sweeten Ilf* i and make us thankful that kindliness and love nnd llhemtlty stand as monu ments that endure long after those of bronze and stone have crumbled away. rfl M*,Hy JL 1 § it \\ irlE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.

Why Ray More 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.
