DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY. CAUGHT STEALING.! Some merchants who would icorn to steal outright, are do ng it every day, in this way: Mr. B will come in and want a :an of Johnston sliced pineap ple. The merchant looks him >vcr and sees he is ‘'one of them,” and with an utter lack of conscience, says 10 cents. Sometimes he pays it; sometimes he don’t, especially if he is ac quainted with DILLON, who tonly asks 30 cents, and then makes a good profit on the same identical goods. It is often asked me by the merchants ‘tvhy I cut prices, .and all kinds of arguments are used to induce me to quit it. I am no cutter, T sell at a fair profit and take no chances, and have built up a splendid busi ness, ami am to-day giving more value for the money than any other merchant in Bruns wick. I have no time to bother with the pay-day plan —or the thief w ! . o intends to pay part and run his smooth hard cheek forth? other part. 1 want your trade and I wi 1 on an average save you from $5 to sls a month on your "rocery bill. Remember that 1 keep every grade of goods from the CHEAPEST to the FINEST IMPORTED. 1 sell them at only a close, sharp prof it, and turn my money over and' over atrain, thereby making in the aggregate a good profit. To you who have not dealt with me, come and try it once. To my customers, remember I am selling goods cheaper than ever. If you think anyone else is making a cut, see me, I am be low him tn price.

SON OF SOLDIERS C‘* • 1 A Short Sketch of this Grand Organization. ' 1 The United Sons of Confederate . Soldiers Association Organl- ] zed in Chattanooga Tenn- I esseeJuly 3rd 1890. < 1 ■' • - i In every city in the south will be t , found organizations of the “Sons of , Confederate Soldiers.” [ The first association of this char- j x acter was organized in Richmond, Va., in the year 1871. It was organ- ( ized with about one hundred mem- j bers; that one hundred have grown c ) ° I in numbers until fifteen thousand , names are now enrolled upon the 1 membership books. Capt Charles ( ’ Johnsen is the present commander. He is a prosperous young merchant t 1 and is an enthusiastic worker in the ] ' cause. All the most prominent a young men" of Richmond are mem- a bers and are proud of the title of 'j i “Son of a Confederate Soldier.” ? The next two associations to or ganize were at Lynchburg and Peters- q burg, Va. They were organized in a 1880. The commander of the Lynch- t burg camp is Mr. E. K. Smith while t Mr. John 11. DuVal presides over t the Petersburg association. Both (] camps are in a prosperous condition , and nurabe" two hundred and fifty members each. New Orleans was the birth place of > the next two associations. They a 1 were organized under the auspieces j of Gen. Gustavus E. Beauregard in ISBS. Camp Beauregard has a mem bership of about one thousand and is commanded by Col. Chai les B. " McDonald. Camp Davis has a mem bership of nineteen hundred; its members being composed of both ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Louis ( Pierre is commander of this camp. Through the efforts of Gen Cabell forty-one associations have been or ganized in Texas having a total m embership of six thousand five ! hundred. Camps have also been 11 (fished in the past three years c Natchez, Batton ■; Mobile, Huntsville, Anniston, Kbia, Charleston, Nashville, 1 mpliis, Danville and in nearly ■ every other prominent city. The Gordon encampment of the j Sons of Confederate Soldiers was es- j tablished in Atlanta on April 23d of () this year. This association was or- ( ganized with one hundred and fifty- j three members. Since that time r( their ranks have swelled to about , nine hundred and sixty names. Among the nnmber are such men j as Capt Hugh Gordon, Gordon Noel Hurtell,Col Reuben R Arnold, Jr., q Hon Clark Howell and Mr Walter II Howard. j One week later eighty-six young , • ladies met at the Y MCA parlors tj and organized an association of the Daughters of Confederate Soldiers. ... n Subsequently the two branches were joined. Tbos R Gress was elected president and Misses Sybil Mason and Bertie Taylor, secretaries. During last May the F M Walker camp was organized at Chattanooga c with Mr L G Walker, Commission J of Public Works, us commander. J This association is one of tbe most 1 influential in the south, and has a a membership of about two hundred and forty. f ( The first annual reunion ot t|*e t. United Confederate Veterans was held in Chattanooga on July 3rd, 4tb and sth of this year. At the re quest of Gov John B Gordon, tbe t president of the Gordon camp at At- r lanta, wrote to the commanders of g the most prominent associations throughout tbe south asking them f to send delegates to a convention to r be held in Chattanooga on J uly 3rd g for the purpose of organizing the asso- <] ciations in one grand body. Each p association to send one delegate for k every one hundred members or p fraction thereof. t In answer to this call delegates j were present from Nashville, Rich u tnond, Columbia, Columbus, Atlanta, Huntsville, Birmingham and New f Orleans.

A memorial was then drafted to be presented to the United Confederate Veteran's Association asking for a charter, and a committee consisting of the president and Messrs. L. G. Walker, A. M. Payne, Henry Newman, L. Pierre and C. Johnson were appointed to present this memorial. The presi dent acted as spokesman and was introduced by Gov. Gordon to the convention. Tbe memoria l being read, he agued the question at some length. Speeches were then made by Gens Gordon, Cabell and Evans and Mr L G Walker, after which Gov Gordon was instructed to act for tbe veterans association. Mr. Gress obtained the necessary charter from him July 31st.

Another Mother’s Opinion on This Important Subject. •a * Educate Your Daughters to Serve God—A Giri’s Mother Her Com panion as Wel!-The Views of “A Free Thinker.** “Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 26.—T0 I’he Post: I have read with much interest the articles that recently appeared in The Post relative to the education of girls, and while I do not care to be subjected to an inter view, 1 desire to give an exposition of my views on this important sub ject. Yon will cxcuscine, of course, for subscribing a non de plume, as 1 can then better afford to listen to any criticisms that may censure my opinions. “A mother cannot begin too early to impress upon her daughter’s mind the duty of serving God aright. The sweetest picture I can conceive of i« the child at its mother’s knee lie ing that sweetest of all supplicati- Now I liy me down to sleep. ,» 1 lien let the mother educate* daughter to serve God first of things. “At an early age the child be carefully and diligently e l in the elementary bl. learning. This should contlnue 1 d at home, and at t[ f « Rlght tbe little pupil sboUj earn . the be-t s. bools atl'oi , * I -c:i th*, 4HH H ■ fl fl ■ ' fl ■ I y< ar. /'b'S -ons are obvious. A girl ceasesfl be girlish, and sometimes bewitcnH ingly charming, after she has passetH her seventeenth birthday, and you know men love girls better than they love women. "And now to return just a little, I want it clearly understood that I am in favor of drilling girls in cul inary affairs, not to that extent however that it would be termed drudgery. Girls should also partic ipate in all the harmless pleasures that their surroundings may present. And now to my bobby. After a girl has passed a certain stage in life she should no longer be a child br.t a companion to her mother. That, I think, is Jthe most essensial part of a girl’s education, and a failure to recognize that fact will certainly re sult harmfully to the daughter. •Renarding the proper age to mar ry I have not much to say. I have two married daughters and they are both supremely happy in their mar ried relations. The elder married at home at the age of twenty. The younger eloped with the man her choice and married at sixteen. Ifi all depends on a girl’s development and her desire to marry. Should I have another daughter and the prop er gentleman were to ask her band in marriage, I would not give her age one thought. To be frank I be lieve girls should marry early rather than late in life. “As to the man, who is a candi date for matrimony, I have less to say. I firmly believe that a girl will make no mistake in her choice of a husband, if she has been properly educated. I never instructed my daughters that they were to set their caps for congressmen, senators, gov ernors and the like. In fact I don’t believe in /matches,’ which are the * outcomes of a mean, politic nature; but 1 believe in marriages, where love is the great sentiment that brings about the union. When a mother v.ants to bring about domes tic discord and .untold happi ness to her daughter, let her marry that daughter off to a “eaten.” “And a mother s instruction should hots* a»e when her daughter is mar rfe<l. Kbe should still lie a mother .nd companion to her child. Trus ung that 1 Imve not encroached on >our space, 1 am, “Very U« spectfuily, ““A Fnrt T msarjt.”
