MEETING OF THE DAUGHTERS
OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

The April meeting was held in the
lecture room at the Library. The
meeting was opened by singing The
Star Spangled Banner, after which
the Lords prayer was repeated, and
cur pledge given. The roll call was
answered to by giving the name of a
prominent officer in the present war
Mrs. Land having just returned form
the State Convention, D. A. r. at
Athens, gave a most interesting and
inspiring report of the convention
showing what a wonderful work is
being done all over the State. We
were very proud that Fort Early
Chapter made at the convention. Mrs
Durrett gave a report of the meeting
of the woman's Committee, National
Defense which she attended in At
lanta The only member on the pro-
gram for the afternoon was a paper
by Mrs. j. w. Cannon; "The constitu-
tion-Altitude of the Southern States
Georgia and the Eleventh amendment,
which was greatly enjoyed.

Just as it had taken hours and hours
to render such perfect music |
it would take hours and hours |
to accomplish any thing that is worth |
while in life. The stage was prettily
decorated with ferns and Paul Nurand
roses. Both girls received numerous
boquets of carnations, Roses and
sweet peas. Many beautiful gifts
were given as tokens from their many
friends who wished, for them just as
much success in all affairs of life as
they enjoyed on this occasion.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mrs. ]. M. Diffee, Chairman
War Relief Committee Fort Early
Chapter, d. A. R.:
My deor MRS. Diffee:
Fernand Rouanet, boy born June
LIST, 1908, address, Tournefeville
Toulouse Department de la Haute-
Garonne, France is the French war
orphan to benefit by the $3650 sent
to the d. A. R. Treas.Gen't from
Fort Early Chapter.
The demand of the w. L. Govern
ment for all available clerical help
in Washington D. C. has made it
difficult to keep enough clerks at
Mem. Cont. Hall to attend to the
regular work of the National offices
and the work of the w. R. L. Com
mittee has been greatly delayed.
Marshal Joffre is President of the
French Com. in Paris which pays the
money over to the orphans in quarter
ly installments and sees that each
receives with the money the names
and address of the contributor. When
the money reaches the Com in Paris,
the Mayors of the towns in which
the children lived when their names
were placed on the lists sent to this
country, are written to for the "life
certificates" of the children and when
these arrive the postal money orders
are made out and sent to the children.
The necessary details of the work
connected with getting money from
a certain contributor in this country
to a certain orphan in France takes
an unusually long time especially
under the prevailing war conditions
so it will probably be midsummer be-
fore the Chapter can receive the re-
ply of thanks from Fernand Rouanet
for his adoption
Expressing the appreciation of the
w. r. S. Committee for the interest
shown in the relief of these children
who have lost their fathers as the
result of the present war in Europe
and regretting that this letter could
not reach you earlier.
Most cordially,
Mrs TT T, \ NJ wv IIodu1,o,,c

a sign reading "Hommes 40, Cheveaux

we thought that perhaps the sign
painter had reversed the order Of
things. After 48 hours Ia these trucks
we detrained at Rouen. At this place
we went through an intensive training
for ten days.
The training consisted Of the rudi-

had been dug, with barbed wire en-
tanglements, bombing saps, dug6uts,
observation posts and machine gun en-
placements. We were given smat-

then resume writing. At last he fin

Gold Hill Mine
Has Good ASSAYS

Tony Waldo and Lawrence Whit

leased the Reynolds copper mine, six
miles west of Waldo, are making
progress in development work and
expect soon to be shippers.
Recent assays are said to show
that their copper ore near the sur

ton and some gold values. Five veins
run parallel through the property,
which are to 20 feet wide and run
from to 20 per cent copper.

have been looking for record ship
ments when the roads again become
