Carrie Fredricks, who was extensively
advertised as having lust returned with
European laurel on her brow. did not
seem to have a very large amount of that
plant with her last week. but she sung
and danced her way into the favor OF her
audiences with as much persistency as
though the reason for the laUrel's alb
sence was to be found in the fact that an
entire express wagon would have been re-

being chic, piquant, naive. and all the

A circular letter has been received by
Mayor Haynes from Rear Admiral Sell
fridge. asking that the city Of Augusta
participate in the peace festival, for
which preparations are being maze
all over the country. to, hold on the,
date of September 30. This is to be "a
grand celebration of the peace that has
once more come to the United States.
and Furthermore on that date an at
tempt will be made to raise enough
money to erect monument to the
memory of the heroes who We're killed,
and wounded during the late war.
A programme for festival of the
sort that is to be held. accompanies
the letter.
The mayor asked the city govern
ment if any preparations had been
made by the citizens. or if any talk of
participating in the festival had been
heard.
AS no one seemed inclined to discuss
the matter, the mayor referred the let
ter to Alderman Carver.
1t Is doubtful if there Is any par
ticipatfon in the festival. as several
members of the city government who
have been tested upon the .ubject. do
not seem inclined to make any move
toward the event. 1t Is possible the
citizens may take a hand as in many
other o..ies and towns and prepare to
celebrate. 1t is really the place of the
citizens according to the letter. to go
ahead with the matter. which recon-
mends that the mayor be the chairman
OF the citizens committee.
