FINAL CONCERT
THIS AFTERNOON
FIRST REGIMENT BAND WILL
ENTERTAIN PUBLIC AT
HANOVER PARK.

The last band concert for what may
be long, long time will be given
this afternoon at o'clock by the
First Regiment band at Hanover park.
This announcement was made last
night and it is expected the park will
be crowded with people who wish to
get glimpse of the boys and hear
them once more before they leave for
the front. The call to the mobiliZa-
tion camp at Macon is expected at any
time now and when it comes the band
will go with the Brunswick riflemen.
They are not expecting to remain long
in Macon as it is known General
Funston is calling for more troops on
the Mexican border and the chances
are that it will be months and maybe
years before the First Regiment band
returns to Brunswick with the battle
SCARED flag of the company.
1t is probable that the entire mill
tia company will also attend the con
cert and although this is Sunday a
patriotic demonstration may take
place. At any rate there is certain
to be large crowd present and the
music will be good.

The First Regiment band will be

last night with broad smile on his
perspiring face; "You can tell them

Starting yesterday morning with
only about two members, the work of
recruiting the band went forward
rapidly and it is believed all records
We're broken. Several of the local
married men who were entitled to a
discharge under the alw. waived their
privilege and with the truest spirit
of patriotism took the federal oath to
serve their country. This spirit of
sacrifice and loyalty to the flag en-
thused others and recruits came for

i The entire city is proud of the
boys sacrifice in thus saving the First
Regiment band from being mustered
out, as for time appeared to be the
only alternative. The city has been
neighbors by being made the head
quarters of the regimental band and
the prospects of falling down in the
first emergency was looked upon with
regret by all who understood the sit
uation. Now that it is certain the
band will go forward with the rifle
men. everybody is happy and once
more Brunswick has shown that the
impossible is possible.
The Brunswick riflemen marked
time yesterday, awaiting further or

place at several different hours Sm'-

fast becoming experts IN the art Of

he traded them for valley farm near

a little later the man who traded Tor
the tracts sold them for a good profit
to the Reverend Sims. The latter held
them until oil developments stole near.
The other day he leased 80 acres of
