They are Preparing For the
Boys.
The June encampment of the Geor
gia Volunteer Soldiery is all the talk
in militaiy circles. It will take place
in the beautiful and hospitable city ot
Augusta. They have commenced, al
ready, to make preparations for die
coming event. The ChronicIe,discuss.
ing the matter, savs:
‘‘Augusta must look after the soldier
boys and see that the preparations for
entertainment during the encampment
are all that are needed. One month
only intervenes between this and the
week of the encampment. Augusta
must put up three thousand dollars
lor tlie maintenance of “Camp Rich
mond,” supplementing the State’s ap
propriation by local subscription.
“It is very necessary that the first
regular state encampment should be a
success in every way,and it remains for
Augusta to make it a success. Our
people can be relied upon to take the
encampment in hand and give it a
first-class send off.
“Augusta was chosen as the most
suitable and available city lor holding
this great military meet. Let our
merchants see that the local military
all have leave of absence during the
encampment week, and that the money
necessary for holding the meeting be
quickly forthcoming.”
The Thomasville Guards will be in
terested in this. The boys are expect
ing a pleasant time and they will not
be disappointed. Though they must
not forget that rigid military discipline
will tie enforced during the encamp
ment.
