AN ANNOYING TASK
is it to try to make old and
shapeless shoes look like new
ones. No man is well dressed
whose shoes are not trim and
shapely, and when you can buy
a pair of our handsome stylish
and perfect fitting shoes for
$3.00 there is no use waisting
time and labor, and sacrificing
your self-respect for that
amount. You will get twice that
amount of wear out of them.

’he fltxt Meeting es Daugh

FOURTH CONVENTION
Has Passed Into History, After
a Brilliant Meeting.
The fourth annual conven
tion of the Daughters of the
Confederacy of Georgia, hue
passed into history.
The meeting of these noble
women, brought to a close in
Rome today, has proven the
most brilliant since the banding
together of the Georgia Daugh
ters.
The most inportant measure
discussed at the closing session
today was that of the soldiers’
home.
It was stated that the mag
nificent building which Henry
Grady built is now in the hands
of the Georgia Division of the
Confederate Veterans, and, af
ter very lively discussion the
Daughters finally, by a unani
mous vote, passed a resolution
pledging their indiviual and
combined efforts to assist the;
Veterans in their effort to estab,
lish the soldiers’ home by legis
lation.
The Winnie Davis Memorial
question also came up and pro
yoked many comments, much
argument and a discussion that
was as thorough as lively.
Finally the matter was settled
by the Georgia Daughters pledg
ing to do their share in erecting
the Winnie Davis in
Richmond—and also creating a
Winnie Davis Memorial fund to
be disposed of by future action
of the United I). C., of the state.
In the meantime the * interest
earned by this fund to be devot
ed to the education of the chil
dren of Confederate Veterans.
Athens won the next annual
meeting of the Daughters, and
the Fourth annual meeting D.
C. of Georgia, was brought to a r
colse and passed into history.
Many of the faiis visitors left
the city today, an 4 this after
noon nearly all will have de
parted those poasts—and all will
go singing the praise of Roman
hospitality.
The program for the closing
day was as follows :
Friday, Oct. 14, 3p. m.—
Drive to points of interest.
Delegates will assemble in
Armstrong parlors 1 and then
drive to the Confederate monu
ment on Myrtle Hill and other
