The general commanding announc- j ea, with great satisfaction, that a few friends of the late Major Hem-gal George Moorman, adjutant general and chief of staff of the United Con federate Veterans for many years, have erected in Metairie cemetery a monument to hts memory. Those as sociates wished to manifest In some way the great admiration they felt I for his numerous excellent qualities, and to emphasise the sentiment of af fection they have for a man whose un ttagglng xeal and unremitting labors for the cause of the United Confeder ate Veterans, continued for many years without remuneration of any ! kind, resulted In the present satls faetory condition of this groat order. They reallae that no monument, how ever grand nnd durable, can even re motely express the debt all confeder ates oew to the patriotic ofTorts of this comrade, but they desire that the rising generation shall have some evidence of the appreciation felt hv 1 those intimately connected with him for his wonderful achievements. While it was a work to which all Confeder ate soldiers should have contributed, the funds ratsmj have been furnished l mainly bv the people of New Orleans. Thanks Col. Harral. The general commanding cannot | refrain from expressing the thanks : which are due to Colonel J. A Harral. ; to whose efforts this tribute ts In a great degree due. He undertook this loving labor alone and alone hsa car ried It to completion. By his unoeas- THE AUGUSTA HERALD ANNIVERSARY OF ODD FELLOWS . TODAY Excellent Program Has Been Arranged.

WEST END NOTES Miss Willie Cadden entertained a few of her friends Informally Thursday night ■it her home on Adams street. The oo | cuslon watt a very enjoyable one, and all were happy over tho privilege of onjoy jmg the hospitality of so charming a | hostess. Those present were: Misses | Annie May Wren, Katie and Lizzie Jones, Jennie Beard. Carrie Braddy, Willie attd Fannie Calden, Messrs, at. Pierre Howard. W. A. Moore, It. b. Nlmmons, Claud Martin, Wingo Herron, Thos. Beard, Ben Cadden, Lewis Jack son and others. Miss Lillie Williamson with a select crowd surprised "Uncle” Charlie Wil kinson and Ills wife last Thursday night with a social gathering at their home on t'hufee avenue. Mr. Jnnies 1,. Oartledge, of Crawford avenue, has been quite til for several days. A large crowd gathered last Friday night at the home of Mrs. Sam Butler on Crawford avenue for the regular meeting of the Crawford Avenue Literary society. The program follows: Scripture reading by Miss Willie Cad den. r rayor by Rev. Robt- Keel. Moral reading by Mlbh Fannie Cadden. Extemporaneous reading by Miss Em ma Reece. Trio. "I,end Me Gently Home. Father." by Misses Emma and Arlie Reece and Mr. Jas. Roeco. Thc subject, "Excuses and Their Dan gers" was taken up and one of the best talks that the society ever heard md one that will be long remembered by those present, was made by Prof. J. Cut hbert Shecut. The society feois amp ly repaid for the successful effort In se curing Prof. Shecut for the talk. Messrs. Edwin P. Tant and Elwood t- Jackson left Friday night for Monti celln, Oa , to visit their former pastor, Flev. R. M. Dtxon, and Incidentally to lake In part of a revival going on there. ; It seems very evident that most people j living down-town do not know the dif ference between "West End' and "Har risburg.” In referring to any part of the city above Hawks Gully and as far out as Walton Way, the term "Harris burg" Is used. Many years ago there were a few residences between Hawks Gully and King mill bridge, which was known as Harrisburg In honor, I think, of a Mr. Harris, who owned pretty much of that strip. South of the oanal was thickly settled with grass grttd weeds and reeognixetd as an "Old Field." During later years the Clnrk mill. Check mill. Sibley and King mill were hullt and houses were needed for em ployes. This "Old Field ' was peculiarly adapt" ed far such purposes and simultaneous ly with the erection of residences, busi ness houses went up aalso, which made this section one of Importance financial ly as well ns politically. At present "West End” is generally considered to run from Fifteenth street to Walton Way. north to the foot of the Hills and High street on Broad. Of course, this Is a slight trespass on Summerville, as a portion of the above is the "Flats," out usually the name West End ts pre ferred. In West End there are five -hurehes for whites and two colored i people; John Mi licit go school. negro school, several sell stteked stores and scores of modern residences, two drug 1 stores that will compare favorably with my others. No. 4 engine company and many other enterprises too numerous to mention. j Ing efforts he has placed under obli gation every Confederate soldier of j the country." General Moorman was bom In Ow ensboro. Kentucky. June 1. 1841. He died In New Orleans. December If,. 1902. He entered the Confederate army at the outbreak of the Civil j war. and when only 24 years old was j colonel of a regiment of cavalry. M E N’S SPRING Way Above Usual Values.

ROBERT GREENE PARKS PROMOTED Will Become Traveling Freight Agent of South ern Railway At Atlanta. The many friends of Mr. Robert Greene Parks will be glad to learn that he has been promoted from the position of soliciting freight agent of the Southern railway at Augusta to that of traveling freight agent at Atlanta. He will move on May l. Mr. Parks Is one of the most prom ising young railroad freight men who ever got his training In Augusta. He was for a long time in the office of the Augusta Southern, as chief clerk to Superintendent White, and when Mr. .S. Duval began to look about for a man to fill the vacant position SUITS Griffith Hypnotic Show Appears in Augusta This Week The Griffith Hypnotic Comedy Com pany, with twenty-five performers and a band and orchestra, will be the at traction at the large canvas theatre op posite the Union Station. One con tinual roar of laughter is promised at every performance. The sensational fea ture for the opening night will be the hypnotising of a young lady and put ting her to sleep for forty-eight hours. She will be placed on exhibition In one of the leading merchant’s show windows immediately after the perforrpance, where she can be seen night or day. The fun feature will be the “Hypnotic Ball," where the subjects imagine they are boys and girls, and dress themselves ac cordingly in. fancy costumes. This will be laughable from start to finish. Miss Fay Ellsworth will excute some remark able feats in mental telepathy after be ing hypnotized by Griffith. Any one who is skeptical as to the genuineness of TUBMAN GIRLS ARE READY FOR WARRENTON TRIP The senior class of the Tubman High school will leave the city next Friday morning for Warrenton on the 7:45 o’clock train to take part in the Tenth Congressional District High school contests to be held there on that day. The Augusta girls will only be able to enter one contest. That of writing an essay. Miss Helen Barnes will enter. The entire class is on the program to sing three songs. There are sev eral fine voices, and many good ones among the members of the class and the songs will no doubt be a feature of the exercises of the day. The contests are for both boys and girls, and for that reason. Richmond county is rather handicapped, as only the girls are going. Most of the events are track events, ball games, and other sports that are practically for men only. THE BURDEN OF ART The supernumerary in the dtamt had to enter from the right and say, "My lord, the carriage waits.” "Look here, super,” said the stag? manager one night, “I want you to cotne on from the left instead of tha right aftey this, and I want you to transpose your speech. Make it run hereafter, "The carriage waits, mv lord.” The super pressed his hand to his brow. "More study! More study!” he groaned.—Cleveland Leader. of soliciting freight agent Mr. Parks was immediately recommended to him. And now. in a little less than five months, he has been promoted again. He has a large acquaintance and a hoct of friends in Augusta, who all wish him continued success. SU2SAY, APRIL 25. /psrrf */. / jrf I-*/}:, - J Ik h\f if i . \ |{ .1 VuwL it.
