An advance officer will arrive

him in making final arrangements
for the reception of the troops. The
regiment will be in camp and finish

begin early in the evening.
Defeating Madison and Douglas and
tieing with Riverside gave them a
commanding position in G. L A. A!
circles and turned the eyes of critics
toward them as the probable champ
ions this year.
Much hangs on the result of the
game Friday. If G. M. C. is victorious
it is pratically certain that they will
attract the largect crowd of the i
son. Additiona (seats are being pieced
on the field and arrangements are
being made to take care of a ca
pacity audience. A large delegation
of students and citizens are expected
from Monroe with their team.
Ideal w’cathc-r conditions are ex
pected to bring about one of fasted
and hardest fought games of the
son.

COMMISSIONERS SEE PLANS
FOR COURT HOUSE
The County , Commissioners
were shown proposed plans for a
niw Court Hous* for Baldwin
county at t u eir meeting last Tues
day.
The plans were presented by
Mr. Bill Oliphant, brother of Mrs.
T. H. Rentz. The erection of a
new building has not been planned
and any adoption of the proposed
building is far in the future, but
Mr. Oliphant offered the sugge--
tion to the Commissioners on his
>wn initiative. The building is
similar in design and architecture
o the Old Capitol and iR modern
in every, detail having offices for
every county officer.
| Mr. Wootten is that awarded by the
j Daughters to sons or grandson* of

Rev. v . H. Harding pronounced
the benediction and the audience
j filed out of the church, deeply im
pressed by the simplicity yet the
splendid patriotism of the program.
The G. M. C. band under the direc
tion of Maj. Ostermaa led the pa
rade and played several special num
