MONDAY. MARCH 2.
Society
A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
There te a digulty In going away
nlone which we call dying that |
wrapping of the mantle of Immortal- |
ity about us—that putting aside with 1
a pale hand the a/.ure curtains that '
are drawn around this cradle of a
world—that venturing away from
home for the first time In our lives;
for we are dead, and seeing foreign
countries, not laid down on any maps
we have read about. There must be
lovely lands somewhere etarward, for
none ever return who go thither, and
we very much doubt If any would If
they could. —Exchange.

PAINT AND POWDER CLUB
TO GET BUBY FRIDAY NIGHT
AT MISS HULL’S.
The meeting of the Paint and Pow
der Club scheduled for last week, at
the home of Miss Alice Hull, was
postponed on account of the weather.
The meeting will be held on Friday
night. This meeting will in reality
be the annual meeting of the club at
which officers for this year will be
elected and important committees will
be announced. There will also be a
final decision as to what play will be
given and for whose benefit.
It has been generally un lerstood
that this performance, soon after Ras
ter, will be given for the benefit of
the Richmond Hussars, but there is
a strong feeling in Augusta that the
Paipt and Powder Club is somewhat
under obligations to give a perform
ance ff r the benef t of the Children s
Home, than which there is no more
deserving charity. If tbe club gives
the benefit for the Richmond Hus
sars It will be the play known as
"Christopher Junior”, but if the club
desires to reproduce one of their
best successes. " \rizona,” it wIH
probably be for ihe benefit of the
Children's Home. The question of
introducing “Arizona" has been
brought about by the fact that Cali
fornia Frank, is wintering in Augusta
and will cheerfully Jend the Paint anl
Powder Club any of the stage acces
sories and costumes, and even train
ed horses, that are necessary. All
these things will be decided 8t the
meeting of the club at Miss Alice
Hull’s on Friday night, March Gbh-
Under these conditions it would be
well for every member of the Paint
and Powder Club to be present at
this most importan meeting. .
