RIDES FOR SOLDIERS.
An appeal is made that every per
son in Americus who owns a car mav
arrange to take some of the soldiers
to Andersonville on Sunday afternoon
or at any other convenient time.
Americus affords little recreation for
the soldiers and we must make an ef
fort to entertain them in some way.
Every one will give up a Sunday af
ternoon drive in order to give the
strangers in our midst a pleasure and
it is urged that they so. Anderson
ville is suggested as the cemetery is
a beautiful spot and, a« many of the
men are from the north, of especial
interest to them. Please report the
names of the men to Lieutenant
