Some of them have been in the habit of going all day with nothing to eat, a feat neather pleasant nor healthful tor a growing child. But most of them had their pennies today* and those who hadn't were fed just the same. The pennj lunches will be served in AUGUSTA STRIKE ATCLIMAXTODAY Mediators to Receive Answers of Carmen and Company to Peace Proposals. • AUGC3T4. GA., Oct. 16.
