acted before he leaves here to as
sumo the presidency.
Many letters have come to the gov

Light INFANTRY MAY
GO TO INAUGURATION
No Plans Have Yet Been
Made

Americas Light Infantry members
are still discussing with interest the
contemplated trip to Washington for
the inauguration ceremonies, and it
is not at all improbable that the COM
pany will go as part of the Second
regiment, to which it is attached. Capt.
James Fort said yesterday that Off
GERS and privates alike were very
anxious to take part in the Inaugural
ton of President Wilson, and if 1t
could be so arranged at least forty
men of the A. L. l. might make the
trip.
In this event the company would
leave Americas at $40 o'clock on the
morning of March End, and at Macon
join the commands of the Second regl-
ment, leaving that city at 10 o'clock
by special train and arriving in Wash
ington at 10 o'clock next morning, a
trip of only twenty-six hours from
to the national capital A
rate of only $15S5 is allowed, while
the expenses of the men during two
Or three days in Washington would be
very little.
1t would be a privilege indeed for
the soldier boys to thus attend the
and hope is expressed
hat the trip will be arranged.

I'LL the uneXpired term OF w. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ga, will be my

many voters have requested US to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.

B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton
We will appreciate heartily the
