WELCOME NEW YEAR WITH GALA DANCE Christmas Week Busily Ob ' served—Big Events Scheduled For Coming Days Building No. One, on Wrightsboro Rd., was the scene of u gay revel on N< w Year's evf.

The scone was a very beautiful on* : the au ditorium in its holiday attire, the sol diers in their sombre (». I>. uniforms, making a beautiful background for the fairy, tulle-like frocks worn by the ladies. A short while before the midnight hour spirals of confetti were thrown over th**, dancers, wrapping them about in entwining coils until It was knee deep on the floor. A few minutes b fore the stroke of 12 Bugler Fred De,sei sound'd taps. Immediately all lights were ex tinguished; a hidden gong then an nounced the midnight hour; the orchestra sound* (I the strains of “Auld Lang syr>'-,” which were taken up by the voices of the thousand guests; a brilliant sign of glow ing electrics flashed “Welcome. 1919.’’ Lights were then turned on and, to the air of our beautiful National Hyr.n, with •■very soldier at attention, the New Year, was given a most enthusiastic welconv. Exchange of New Year's gre.dings was the prevailing order. Lancing was con tinued until 1 o’clock. The guests who were present will r< - member this dance a.*< one of the most beautiful and enjoyable they have ever attended at the Knights of <'olurnbiis buildings at ('amp Hancock. They have attend’d many before ami enjoyed them all, but this one, in a particular manner; as it was the last one which a number of the boys attended 1 < fore leaving for their homes, and the last opportunity they had for saying farewell to their friends among the fair sex from the city of Augusta, it. far outshone the others. i Saturday evening, January 'he fourth, I at Building No. On-, through the courtesy jof Mr. Solon J.

I This evening should prove a red letter lone In the entertainment annals of Camp I Hanbock. Christmas Day was a particularly hap py one for the bays who partook of the I hospitality of the. Knights of Columbus. Mass was celebrated In the morning at. 9 30 o'clock, by chaplain H J McNulty, First Provisional Regimept. O.T.C. The Machine Gunners thronged the building at this mass, and the soldier’s spirit was evidenced by the fact that there wore two thousand In attendance and four hundred soldier communicants. The sing ing at the mass was congregational, and Included Christmas anthems, and con cluded with the singing. of “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name ” Santa Claus in the morning sent as his ambassador, Mrs. S M. Sy 1 vest r, who chaperonefl the party of young ladies from Augusta who assisted In the dis tribution of candy, oranges, apples and I cigarettes. Popular sones w-ro rend ered by the three little Misses Sylvester, who (’harmed the boys with the attract ive manner which fell little short of a professional one, In which they “put over" their songs. Christmas carols, sung by the young ladies of the partv, were also a feature of the entertainment. After the festivities the ladies invited and took home with them a number of the soldier boys, for dinner In Augusta. Feature films were shown every even ing to crowds which taxed the capacity of the building. Secretary T J. Ruffin will accompany a troop trai nio (‘amp Dodge. He will hr provided with th- usual good cheer and comforts which the Knights of Co lumbus provide for their soldier friends. It is a long journey to Des Moines. lowa, and a mighty cold one, too, and the Ala bama boy is full of confidence, but it has been noticed that there is a short age of blankets.

OF C. “ISMS” GATHERED BY THE “LITTLE SECRETARY.” Daniel O’Brien, orderly for Chaplain McNulty, says the war is * ver now’. How do-s he know? But Sergeant Carroll says I an will stay at Hancock to lead ,the parade on St. Patrick's Day. Joseph Cortege, of the Thirteenth <'us ual Company, says Hancock is alright, but give him New Oj leans. I don’t think army life agrees with him! Am 1 right, Joe? Jim London says ergeant Benson is the b-st mess sergeant in tl Ordnance, and Jim surely knows. Will all the other mess sergeants please N. B. The Cla'na'ga-J Guard of Chicago, ga e some party before leaving for Charles ton. President Mulholland's talked to the boys on Morale, which brought forth three rousing cheers for “Mull.’" Sergeant James Sullivan of the Seven teenth Guard Company, has left for Shef field, Ala. He was one of the best liked men in the Ordnance, and boys will miss his smiling countenance. Private Bollman of the Thirteenth Cas ual Company writes more letters than any other man in the camp. He is a regular customer at th- mail desk, but no letters are ever forthcoming. What's the trouble, Bellman, have you lost out with the fair sex? Thomas Joyce claims the checker championship of the Ordnance, and says he can play any man with five checkers and win. All challenges will be accept ed by him for fun. money, or marbles. Privates William Smith, Al Mackewich, Walter Tynan, Charles Sweeny, John Tyrrel, and Daniel Mahoney have loft for Charleston, S. C , for guard duty. Good bye, boys. (Signed) TOM.

The results are certainly worth I the effect involved, visitors to the build ing have voted it the most attractively decorated building in camp Just a suggestion. Mac.: Take a cor respondence course In auto mechanics, or you will be paying garage rent for space at the “Corner Store.” SOME HOSPITAL NOTES GLEANED BY THE SECRETARY. A great sight to see these mornings is Solomon before the mirror, doing his f T. exercises. Some grin, that, Solomon. How is it that all these nuts gather around me? Well, all we can sav Schutte, is, “Birds of a feather flock to gether,’ or, if you wish, “like attracts like.” • ♦ • Clump vs. Schutte in a debate as to who will beat each other to the Bronx. “Nurse, he is picking on me again.” It is wonderful how popular Hogan is with the fair sev.

He says the hills arc green, but the only hills we've ever seen 1 in Georgia were red ones—sticky red clay ones.

ECHOES FROM THE 28TH CO., 3RD GROUP If Sergeant Kemp had only known the rules governing egg races’ Sergeant Horn has one reason, at least, for being thankful he is going home. It is so hard to see to read the roll on a dark morning. Proper "at east" there! Oh you Hostess House! Mike Heintz may not be one of the 57, but he's there on the roll, yea, Bo!

Misses Thomp , son and Bell, in their own interpretation of Teh Dances of the Gods and The May’ Dance, made a hit and responded to repeated encores. The beautiful voice of Mrs. Bryson won round upon round of applause. Paulson’s orchestra with popular airs added greatly to the plea sure of the program, which was brought to a close on singing America, led by Mrs. Bryson, the audience joining in the singing. Th*,* Christmas tree in the center of the stage with its numberless colored lights, gold and silver tinsel, with a beautiful silken flag gracefully draped from the topmost bough was a delight to all and as the curtain was slowly drawn disclosing the. lighted tree ex clamations of delight were heard from • •very part o fthe house, no doubt re minding the men of their boyhood days back home years ago. After the pro gram a line was formed to the counter where Mrs. Ellis and her faithful com mittee were ready to serve the refreshments of real home-bakd ecake, ice cream, oranges and apples. The cakes (nearly a hundred) and other re freshments. were, supplied by the ladies of the Fifth Ward. Os all the splendid entertainments had at this popular hut perhaps this was the most popular and successful and will long be remembered.

C. J. Surpassing Dinner at Remount Depot Auxiliary Remount Depot No. 308 celebrated Christmas Day with a din ner that could not be surpassed any where. Nature prepared the site for the Remount long before Christmas was being celebrated in this country but nevertheless made an excellent , job of choosing a delightful place, ! especially befitting the holiday sea son. Every tree in the near vicinity • is a Christmas tree, the grove adjoin l ing is full of holly.
