The CONFEDERATE SURVIVORS The
Secretary, of the Confederate Survivors
Association requests US to ask our exchanges
to take notice of such articles as we may
publish about it in future, as there is large
aud growing interest being manifested
throughout the country in regard to it.
Letters are coming in from many and even
distant quarters from old Confederates, ask
ing whether they would be entitled to men,
borship on application. The answer is, yes,
certainly. = The! Association, although hav-
ing its headquarters here, is not aud never
was intended to be local. 1t is not Geor-
gia Association. 1t is a Confederate Asso-
citation. Just rs before Richmond and
Petersburg and Atlanta, years ago, the
"Gray Jackets" from many States stood
shoulder to shoulder, and it was "Hcllo,
Mississippi" !" and "How are you, Tar-heel?"
so now those that are left of those gallant
little armies-and fast thinning in numbers
they are-are banding themselves together
again without distinction of State lines or
rank or circumstances, to perpetuatc as
best they may be able, the memories and
fellow feelings of that time of war.
The expense is so light-5O cents for
Initiation and so cents per quarter for
dues-that no one can say he cannot
afford to be member, and already the
association numbers some 300 men, with
applications coming in daily. There will
be called meeting in a few days to ad-
NIT new members; there are some twenty
odd applications now on file handed in since
the 10th, and there will probable be forty
to fifty admitted
Let every old Confederate soldier, wher-
ever he may be, take the same pride in hav.
ing his name enrolled with the Confederate
Survivors Association that he did in hav.
ing it upon the muster roll of the armies of
the South.
Blank applications for membership NAV
be had by writing to "Mr. Berry Benson,
Secretary G. S. A., Augusta, Ga.," who will
forward them promptly on demand. We
are very 6 lad to see this organization grow
ing so rapidly. Exchanges please notice.

THE SoRr OF GIRL TO GEr.-The true

When you see it you wonder if those showy
things outside were women. Ifyou gain her
love your two thousands are millions She'll
not ask you for carriage or q first t-class
house. She'll wear simple dresses, and
turn them when necessary, with no vulgar
magnificat to frown upon her economy
She'll keep everything neat and nice in
your sky parlor, and give you such well
come when you come home that you'll
think your parlor higher than ever. She'll
entertain true friends on dollar. :.a :S1 aston.
isn you with the new thought how little
happiness depends on money. She'll make
you love home Gf you DOM you re BRUTE

a poor, fashionable society that thinks
itself rich, and vainly tries to- think itself
happy.
Now, do not, I pray you, say any more,

true woman, and you can. Throw away
that cigar, burn up that switch cane, be
sensible yourself. and seek your wife in a
sensible way.-Oluer Wendell Holmes.
JUST ABOUT THIs TIME.-A fame is
in her CLASSY eye, broom is in her eager
hand, aloft she lifts a sudden cry, that
echoes like new brass band; her dress is
reefed about her knees, as through the house
she cuts path, and in her eye the stranger
sees being of majestic wrath. Step lad.
ders scale the papercd height, and tubs of
water flood the floor; her voice is heard from
morn to night, rising above the awful roar.
Fly from her presence dog and cat, fy from
vernal frenzy 'f6at pease :. it is the
cleaning house.
