guS) at 1915 A. NJ, Thursday, August
"a.
Togus affords all conditions for a
most successful reunion. 1t is city
in miniature centrally located, quiet
and orderly, elegant and attractive,
where most courteous and efficient OFF,
GERS conduct an ideal home for its
members and where every friend of the
soldier meets a most cordial welcome.
Trolley cars for Togus leave Gardiner
on the hour, pass the State Capitol and
the Augusta House on State street and
the Maine Central r. r. Passenger
Station on Water street. Augusta. The
cars leave Augusa Waiting Room, Wa
ter street, hourly at half after each
hour, making a pleasant trip to Togus,
arriving on the hour.
! Words cannot make more impressive
the lesson that few reunions remain to
any of the comrades than the depart
ures of Comrades each year from the
ranks. Every Comrade should make
especial effort to be personally pres
ent as a duty to meet those who will
come despite ill health and all COM
mon excuses to greet him again before
all our earthly reunions shall close
forever, and at all reunions even
strangers could find rare opportunities
for most pleasant trip and day of
memorable enjoyment.
The Maine Central sells round trip
| tickets Aug. % and "a to return Aug.
25 at l 35 fare to comrades and visit
ors. The Wiscasset, Waterville and
Pennington Railroad offer round trip
at a single fare, and the Damariscotta
Steamboat Company do likewise.
| Augusta is the center of an extensive
trolley system and the common roads
of the people are so perfected that the
automobiles can make it profitable to
compete successfully with the rail-
roads BY a little extra pains Com
rades can arrange parties to attend
reunion at moderate cost and at a
saving of time. Upon this mater "a
word to the wise is sufficient"
The Togus Hotel, Tysan M. Kline,
Manager, will supply full and regular
dinner at so cents per plate. Under
the present management Comrades
may expect dinner worthy of the oc-
casion in material and service. Those
arriving at the National Home. Au
gust 23 may obtain room and board at
the rate of $500 per day.
The fact that the Reunion is to be
held at the home of the celebrated Ma
tional Home Band, Professor B. w.
Theme, Leader than which there is
none finer in New England, is sufficient
warrant that abundant and suitable
music will be supplied.
The ribbon badges Of the Associa-
ton will be distributed from Head
quarters as usual, and the Historic
Record Of the Regiment will be on sale
at $1.00 per volume. Postage is saved
by buying at Reunion.
| Headquarters will be at Togus Hotel
on the evening before Reunion and at
Grand Army Hall, National Home,
from $50 A. M. on Reunion day until
final adjournment. Let each Comrade
remember to report promptly to the
