point to a large attendance of the 8a-
vannah military at the Jamestown Ex
position. The Georgia Hussars arc ar
ranging to make the trip and the Ger
man Volunteers, of the First Infantry
will also go.
In addition to these two companies,
ft Is probable that a large number of
men from tho other local companies
of the regiment will make the trip.
Colonel Gordon, commanding the First
regiment, and Colonel Twiggs, com
manding the Third, are corresponding
now with a view to arranging for a
provisional regiment to attend tho ex
ercises on Georgia day.

active, honorary and pay members of
the command, ft was decided to hold a
bazaar at an early* date, with Which to

COTTON MERCHANTS
WILL HOLD BANQUET
Special to The Georgian.
Augusta. Go.,' Dec. 7.—The cotton
merchants of Augusta have planned a
banquet to bo held at the Bon Air
hotel, December 22, and every prepa
ration will be made to make the uffalr
a great success and an enjoyable occa
sion In every way. The members of
the cotton exchange are the leaders of
the movement, and as almost every
cotton merchant In Augusta la u mem
ber of tlie exchange, It Is very probable
that almost all the cotton men will he
present. The banquet wilt take the
place of the annunl Uhristmus tree
which has been the custom for many
years |*st. At these Chrlatinas trees
every member of the exchunge was
given a present, and a great amount
of merriment und good cheer was cre
ated. This year a departure from this
ustoin was agreed upon and a sump
tuous banquet In one of the most ele-
guilt todrist hotels In the entire South
will amply repay tho cotton men for
the loss of the Christmas tree.
