WELCOME THE BOYS!
Let Everyone Greet the GAL
liant 1st Maine Boys.
Our Citizens Taking Great Interest in
Reception to the Troops.
Lishi Refreshments to Be Served to All
On Arrival.

Owing to the delay In receiving any
definite Information relative to the
movements of the regiment. the COM
mittee did not know. until in the after
noon yesterday, what could be done.
AS consequence there was forced
inaction until a telegram was received
stating that the hospital train would
stop in Portland: and that all of the
sick able to travel would be sent to
their homes on furloughs.
AS the question of caring for the sick
had been the main one, it was a very
easy matter to make such arrange
ments as We're then necessary, and inn
mediate steps were taken to collect
necessary funds.
The people of Augusta, have re-
sponded to the committees requests
most literally. and individual offers
for every KIND of assistance kept pour
ing in. Yesterday. from men and wo-
men alike. Among the visitors was
the venerable ex-senator Bradbury.
All were anxious to help should their
services have been necessary; but the
care of the sick before reaching Au-
gusta so simplifled the work that but
few Of the offers could be accepted.
The arrangements as made are as
follows:
The Ladies' Relief Corps will make
some 1900 sandwiches, this morning.
When the soldiers ARRIVE the police
will make room, and iced milk, sand
witches and bananas also good cold
spring water will be served to the men
in line. after which the line of march
will be taken up for the camp ground.
The escort will be the batteries and
the Augusta Cadets. preceded by the
Togus Band.
There will be no cannon salutes, but
bells will be rung and whistles blown
on the arrival of the first section.

authorities no food is to be given,
which in any way would be liable to
cause sickness; the above simple re-
freshments is to show our good will.
1t may be that at a later date when
the regiment is in better physical
shape better banquet can be given
with safety
What the boys most desire is a warm
welcome back to Maine and the cheer
crowd of friends will be more to them
than anything else.
Hang out the flags and welcome
home the soldiers!

blood disease. If disease has its origin
in bad or impure blood, DR.. Ayers Sars-

moving its impurities and giving to ii
vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate
