or three rides. Mother chided her for the
performance, telling her how undignificd
and unladylike it was. Lula, a younger
sister, took up the cause in behalf of heI

sentiments, and was enthusiastically en-
plauded.

counted upon their active cooperation to
make the movement a success.

the leader.
The speaking closed with stirring ap-
peal from Col. Morgan Rawls, whose war
record and hard and devoted services while
leading the Fifty-fourth Georgia is so well
remembered by the people of Efingham.
Col. Rawls told one or two good anecdotes
to illustrate the fighting qualities of the

Resolutions were adopted indorsing the
movement and pledging active cooperation
in raising funds. 1t was deemed best for
