CHEAP RATES TO THE CARNIVAL
One Fare for the Round Trip Offered
by All (lie Railroads.
The Southern Railway has
offered the Young Men’s Business
League to put on a special rate for
the Carnival and Institute occa
sion. They will instruct their
agents to sell tickets at one fare
for the round trip, from June 18th
t0 r Rail
carnival week, f for the benefit of
those on that road who wish to
attend the Carnival or Teachers’

fare for the round trip—to boon,
sale June 18th to 20th inclusive,
The Oconee and Western has
not been heard from yet, but it is
expected they will give equally as
low rates as the two other roads.
Railroad fare then will be a
minor consideration, as this is an
extremely low rate, and accomo
dations in the city during the week
will be correspondingly low.
Let every one who can come.
A LETTER FROM (AMI* NORTHERN.
What the Soldier Boys From Eastman
Are Doing at Griffin.
Camp Northen, Griffin, Ga.,
May 28.—I was prevented from
writing last week owing to the
fact that last Monday I was
tailed for sentinel duty. This is
perhaps the hardest job •' that n
private has to do. It’s tough
army beef. Ask Sheriff Rogers,
Olin Pharr or John Coffee how our
beef goes and you will see
force of the remark. They got
Sunday fare, too.
The 1st sergeant calls opt the
unfortunate privates who must
go and “do time.” They are
formed and marched out on the
parade ground at 8:20, a. m., in¬
spected and formed into squads or
reliefs. There are three of these.
Each goes on for two hours and
remains at the guard house subject
to call the other four. The sentry
is posted by the corporal and must
walk his post or beat in a soldierly
manner for two hours. Day or¬
ders are to stop all packages and
inspect them and see that no li¬
quor, beer, soda water or other in¬
toxicating beverages are intro¬
duced into camp. Some amusing
incidents occur, and many are the
expedients the unsophisticated re¬
sort to m order to get in an appe¬
tizer. Yesterday two of ourmen
played a practical joke on the of¬
ficer of the day. They purloined
a bundle of fodder and made it in¬
to a package so that it resembled
a bottle of whiskey enclosed in a
paper box and tried to march by
the tent of the officer, who was
surrounded by a bevy of admiring
maids. Of course he wanted to
be impressive, so to carry out or¬
ders he halted the boys and com¬
manded that the suspicious bun¬
dle be opened. It was done. The
girls were all admiration for the
gallant officer and curiosity as to
the bundle—possibly contempt for
the poor soldiers. But lo and be¬
hold, when the private uncov¬
ered the officer “something to
eat”—ns the wrapper was taken
fodder appeared! Two
dying to laugh; officer
to “cuss;” girls dead at
Of course Tom Shearer was j
the leader and originator.
Woodard Castlen was. on guard
me and captured a three
jug of whiskey. The offi¬
took it. Woodard, poor fel¬
low, feels a personal loss, Wo
have not heard of the liquor since.
Night orders are to arrest any¬
body that comes or goes, and many
a belated “greenie” has to heave
to. During the “wee sma’ hours 1 3
of morning every minute seems a
year, and one gets to think that
the relief will never come. You
usually get off next day at 10 j
o’clock thoroughly worn out.
We have to police, clean up
streets, etc., daily. We do our
own washing and it’s quite a new
experience to many of us. We
wait on table and do our own
cooking. George Freeney is com
missary sergeant and has to look
after the provmder. He is on the
sick list to-day; so is Bradford.
Columbus Bennett is one of the
cooks for the coming ten days. Ho
is a success and looks very hand- j
some in his cap and apron.

Oscar Bohannon lias been on the
sick report for several days. Noth¬
ing serious, however.
Many of the boys have bad colds,
but they are learning how to take
care of themselves. Our officers
take good care of us and we get
every attention necessary. There
has been much written criticising
our fare. Now, let U3 set our
home people right on this matter:
We get plenty of good, wholesome
food. True, it is plain, yet it B

THE LADIES SERVE ROOD MEALS
That’s What Everyone says Who Ate
at Harrell's Cotton Yard.
I The dinner given by the ladies
j of the Christain church and ,| 10
members of the Eastman Brass
Band at B. L. Harrell’s cotton j
yard, came to a close on last Fri
dav. On that day the members
•
the city council, , of , the
most
county officers and quite a number
of Eastmanites took dinner there,
Friday night an icecream sup
per was given, which closed the
benefit.
Forty-two dollars was cleared—
twenty-one for each tlie church
and the band.
Both the church and the band
extend their sincere thanks to
those who so kindly lent assistance
to the benefit. They are especially
grateful to Mr. B. L. Harrell for
the use of his cotton yard and
other kindnesses. Also to the
Williams Lumber Company for
the lumber, and to one and all for
donations and personal assistance.
This gives our brass band just
about one-fourth of what they
need to purchase the necessary
new instruments with. It will re
quire at least seventy-five dollars.
We truly trust that our people |
will not stop until they get up the
required amount for the boys, as |
we will then have a band that will
be second to none in Georgia.

Mad Dog!
Reports are current that a mad
dog was killed a few days ago by
Mr. Drew Williams, but not until
after he had pretty well gone the
rounds of the county—biting other
dogs in his path. He is described
ns a large white bull dog with black
spots on his ears and said to be
the property of one Mr. Clements,
a farmer of Laurens county.
We would advise parties whose
dogs have been bitten to imme¬
diately kill them.
As i< Should he.
At the Baptist church last Wed¬
nesday night the congregation
voted unanimously to suspend ser¬
vices next Sunday in favor of the
protracted meeting now in prog
ress [ at the Methodist, church. It
is hoped that this act will tend to
deepen and broaden the interest
of the meeting. Now let the con¬
gregations unite in their efforts
to bring about a genuine revival
of pure religion.
Aii Enjoyable Occasion.
The Empire Sabbath school
held its annual picnic at Jones
Spring last . A large
crowd was present and there was
plenty of good dinner, lemonade,
etc., for all.
The success of the day was due
largely, we are informed, to the
untiring efforts of Miss Kulalie
Williams, chairman of the refresh
ment com inittec.

regiment. They were roof-raisers.
Immediately afterwards some sol
