The very incest way to give gloves,
if you are thinking of that, is by giving a
Glove Bond, instead of the gloves them
selves. We make out the certificate, good
for one or more pairs of gloves as you
wish, and you present the certificate to
the lady, If she does not need gloves now
she keeps the Glove Bond until she is ready, then
comes and gets the kind and shade she and
gets them properly fitted. Enclose Glove Bond in
box of candy and watch the smiles.

Army Men Praise Manner in
Which Militia RepuIsed en-
envy" After Night in Field.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, July IS
After spending Tuesday night in the
field and repulsing the enemy" with
great loss when he attacked at day
break, the Fifth Regiment broke
camp early Wednesday morning and
IS en- route to Atlanta The soldier
boys are due to arrive on the A, B.
and A. Thursday morning.
The work of the regiment Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning was
the hardest of the encampment. The
men left Camp Brown under heavy
marching orders shortly after noon
Tuesday, to spend the night in the
field, under actual conditions of war
fare. Each man carried two days
rations, and every member of the
regiment, from the colonel to the
humblest private, cooked his own
supper and breakfast.
Camp was made for the night about
five miles from the regular camp,
sentries were posted, and everything
made ready for the expected attack
of the enemy" The enemy
charged at daylight, but were repulsed
with great loss. At least that is
what the regular army men who are
here said. They kept tabs on the ad-
vance of the imaginary enemy, and
the preparations Of the Fifth to re-
pulse them.
The encampment which closed
Wednesday is considered one of the
most successful the Fifth ever had.
The army officers in charge of the
instruction have expressed satisfac-
ton over the work of the regiment
and the interest taken by the men.
