•We are expecting the largest attendance
had here in some time and I expect that
th. building will be crowded. We have
been very busy during the past week pre
paring for the opening. The rooms have
all been fixed for the pupils and we are
r< eiving letters every day from the pa
tiiiis of young ladies who wish to enter
them in ’he college. We are highly elated
at the prospects and 1 think that we will
have a successful term. The pupils will
begin coining in tonight and we expect
them to arrive from then till the end of
ttie week.”
Aliout twenty girls are already at the

The number of new pupils this year

The Wigwam Hotel to Remain Open Until

While many other summer resorts are
closing up for the lack of business, the
season at the famous Wigwam Hotel at

the indications for further business so
good, that it has been determined by Pro
prietor T. C. Parker to keep the hotel
open until the first pf October. A pleasant
party of guests still remain at the Wig

so that those who have bad no opportunity
thus far in the summer to visit the spring,
and who desire to go now, may be assured
of pleasant company

BE WEEK'S END
First Regiment Will Be Mus
tered Out Almost Im
mediately.
TRANSFERS TO THE THIRD
Will Be Grantedjto All Those IWho
Want Them -Officers Also
Want to Stav In.
it is probable that the First and Second
Georgia regiments will be mustered out of
the service before the end of Chis week, or
at least brought back to this state and
given furloughs preparatory to being mus
tered out.
This was the understanding that the
governor had with the assistant secretary
of war before leaving Washington, and as
soon as the authorities can be informed of
the places to send the troops before mus
tering them out, and as soon as other ar
rangements can be made, the order for the
mustering out of the two regiments will
be issued.
Quite a number of officers in the Second
and First Georgia have asked to be trans
ferred to the Third, and the governor will
have (rouble in deciding what men are de
serving of retention in case any more
places are left vacant in the commissioned
ranks of the regiment which has been re
tained.
The First Georgia regiment mustered
out of the service at Macon, Albany and
Savannah, the colonel of the regiment de
signating the companies to be released at
each place.
Governor Atkinson stated yesterday to
the Constitution that he would wire the
war department today to Instruct Colonels
Brown and Lawton to ascertain at once
how many men in their regiments desire
to be transferred to the Third Georgia, in
order to discharge those men in the Third
who have a desire to be mustered out,
For the past two weeks Governor Atkin
son has been deluged with applications
from men and officers of all three regi
ments asking that they be mustered out at
once. These applications have come in
large numbers in the last two days, since
it has been ascertained that one of the re
giments is to remain in the field.
Governor Atkinson said yesterday:
“It is not necessary now for troops in
the First and Second Georgia regiments tq
apply for discharges, as they will all be
mustered out in the near future, and their
dismissal will come as soon by waiting for
the action of the government as H wqujd
by waiting for their applications to Ije
considered.
“It is also unnecessary for the troops of
the Third Georgia to make Immediate ap
plication for discharges, as in a short time
the war department will give specific in
structions as to the way the men of this
regiment is discharged. Probably the ex
change of the men of the First and Second
Georgia will be arrapged by having the
colonel of each regiment furnish the troops
with a paper giving the names of those
men who wish to he transferred to the
Third regiment, and requiring all who so
desire tp sign the paper. This will more
than likely fee the manner of dismissing
the soldiers of the 'Third who wish to re
turn to their homes.
"There are some men in the two light
batteries' now being mustered out who
■would like to be transferred to the Third,
and it is my intention to wire the war de
partment today to make arrangements for
them to do so. It is probable that there
will be enough to be transferred from the
First and Second regiments and the two
light batteries to permit every one in the
Third who desires to go out to do so.
Governor Atkinson stated that he was
not familiar with the rule made by the
secretary of war to the effect that in mus
tering out the volunteer regiments, those
that had been in service longest would be
the first to be mustered out.
“The statement published yesterday,”
said he, “from Washington that the •au
thorities at the war department said to me
that the rule adopted by them was that
the first regiment mustered in w.| to be
the first mustered out Is a mistake, and
grew. I presume, out of the fact that
Secretary Alger informed Senator Bacon
of this rule-which he had made. I did not
know of this tatement until affer my con
ference with the war department.
“My conference in regard to the Georgia
troops was with Assistant Secreatry of
War Melklejohn, aud not with Secretary
Alger, .is he was absent from Wasnington
at the time I was there.
"I wish to make it plain that the main
purpose I had in view in going to Wash
ington, and, in fact, in ail 1 have done in
the matter, was not to advocate the reten
tion of any one regiment, but to get per
mission for all those men who desired to
remain in rhe service of the United States
•to do so. and so far as possible to enable
every man to be discharged who desired
it,”

has written him but the boy has no recelv- |

long roughing trip without any money ex
cept what he picked up at odd jibs. He
went directly from Chicago to New York,
ihen stowed away on a Liverpool steamer,
finally getting back to New York, from
there to Washington and then to Jackson
ville, Fla., where he worked three weeks
in an ice house, not liking this he came
directly to Macon from where he wrote
home for the first time.
His father sent the boy a ticket to come
home, but as the letter hasn’t been called
for, he is in hopes some one may give*
information as to the boy’s whereabouts.
Douglass is fifteen years old, nearly six

has a boyish figure and large brown eyes.

P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3, writing
from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d, says:
“We all had diarrhoea in more or less
violent form, and when we landed we had
no time to see a doctor, for it was a case
of rush and rush njghf and nay to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition and
rations, but thanks to Chamberlain’s Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were
able to keep at work and keep our health;
in fact, I sincerely believe at one critical
time this medicine was the indirect sav
iour of our army, for if the packers had
been unable to work there would have
been no way of getting supplies to the
front. There were no roads that a wagon
train could use.. Jjy comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay in a supply
of this medicine for onr pack train before
we left Tampa, and I know in four cases
it saved life.”
