Georgia lady, Is general chairman Of the
Georgia booth, and she has made earnest
and patriotic appeals to the good women
| of Georgia 10 aid her in the work she has
undertaken.
Mrs. Richard Stewart is the local chair

old swords to become rusty and the pre-

history of cause that should be held
as sacred TO the coming generation as
the honor of their fathers and the virtue
OF their mothers The Confederate mu-
scum at Richmond, yes, let 1t be erected,
| and let every man, woman and chiid IN
Sumter county contribute each stone
to make solid the walls which will hold
| the treasures of our nations dead.
Mrs Stewart will make a canvass or
the city this week, and IT seems useless
| to add that she will give her heart and
