EDITORIAL
Once more is an appeal made TO the
almost expiring public spirit Of our citizens
10 hi oh
the centennial anniversary of the landing of
Georgia's founder. The committee ap-
pointed at former meeting of the citizens
having, from causes unknown to us.
declined serving, another meeting was
called on Saturday last, to which taD0 oOlOle
citizens responded. The subject, as will
appear from the call signed by the COM
msnders Of the different volunteer corps in
the city, is now about to be taken in hand
by the military. We should like to have
seen a civic and military celebration Of the
day, but as it is we greatly prefer purely
military celebration of 1t to none at all, and
we hope that the members of the different
corps will obey the call of their command
ers and be at their posts to night at z
o'clock.
