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’ t t .t ot the the same e .mer.,e-on. rate—one 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. Max M«K.« on Soar,...... morrow. God pity him; the cor porals and sergeants will not. : 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 selected and prepared with a view to making muscle, and it is doing - ’ handsomest and most efficient . est, company commanders in the state. Oar only complaint is that equippe,! 1 11 ahd er.lere.i to the tront. We hope for . . >otli . due time. The departure of the 2nd regi ment for Tampa was an impressive scene. Col. Lawton had the 1-t marched out and faced on the road in battalions, and as the dif ferent secti by. looking brave and strong, we were ordered to give three cheers for Col. Brown, same for Lieuten- 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. ant Col. Garrard and same for the regiment. They were roof-raisers. Immediately afterwards some sol ,p er t) f the 1st struck up “God be \y’itH you Till we Meet Again.” was sung lustily. 1 here was many a tear flowing down bronzed checks along our line. Sorry to see our gallant and fortunate brothers leave us. Sorrier still „„„id instead no, of m.rch being 0,1,0 left here ,!„■ j :ldvanC( . | to the monotony of camp life. I I | hope you patriotic Eastmanites j gave t hem a royal greeting as they j passed. They'were a gallant lot of lads and will give a goodac-l count of themselves.

Windsor and E. Y. Bowen, com¬ missioners of the combined coun¬ ties. All the public schools are here¬ by directed to suspend from the 20th to the 24th of June, inclus¬ ive, and the teachers required such! to attend the Institute under penalty as the school boards and county commissioners may i m pose for failure to comply with the law respecting Annual Insti¬ tutes.
