Last Night in Camp
The last night in camp was festive
occasion, the boys being unable to leave
camp deciding to get as much fun out
of the last night as possible, music and
frolicking around the camp fires. and all
kinds of horse play being INDUCED IN.
1t is understood that the first part OF
this mornings program will be the pay
ing off of the soldiers, after which the
various companies will at once leave for
their own towns, it being expected that
by noon the camp will again be vacant
Most of the boys are very glad to start
for home, but there are those who like
the camp life, and who wish that they
could remain in the big tents until really
climated now, and in much better shape
physically than they were on their ar
rival, and there is not man in the en-
tire I'd Maine who is not glad that he
took the trip to the border. the expert
ences more than offsetting the hardships
of the trip. Nearly all of the troops
will be welcomed on their arrival at the
home barracks with demonstrations Of
one Sort or another. and Augusta Will
be much quieter town for the next week
than it has for the past.
On the whole, the I'd Maine had proven
to be a very well-behaved bunch Of young
men, very little disturbance of any sort
attending their stay here, and the sur
prising lack of intoxication among them
has also attracted the favorable comment
of citizens. who would be pleased to have
the troops stay here longer If It were
necessary.
