CITY HALL, pOSTOFFICE
AND COURT HOUSE PLACES
Every Male Citizen in the United
States Between the Ages of
II and 80, Inclusive, Mast
Register.

Tuesday, June 5, Registration Day,
is to be made great event in Bruins
wick, as it will be in every nook and
corner of the entire United States
when, it is expected approximately
ten million young men between the
ages of u and 81 will register.
While the Glynn county board of
registrars were in session yesterday
afternoon making final arrangements
for the work which awaits them Tue9
day, Mayor Hopkins was issuing a
proclamation, declaring the day a hoi-
iday; members OF the Retail Mer-
chants and Business Mems asoscia-
ton were circulating petition CALI
ing upon all members to close; spe-
clal committee was busy preparing
for mammoth parade to be held on
Tuesday afternoon, while various 9th
er committees were at work cooper
ating to make the day a great one
in Brunswick and Glynn county.
Basing the estimate on the popu-
lation of Glynn county, there should
be between twelve and eighteen hun
dred men in this city who are within
the ages named above, and who. it il
expected, will register, thus it will
be seen that the registrars will have
quite busy day of it, Nine were
named on the original board, but it
was decided yesterday to appoint
eight additional registrars, and they
will be selected tomorrow at final
meeting to be held by the board For
the benefit of those who are in doubt
as to where they should register, it
is announced that any person in
Brunswick. irrespective of which
ward he resides in, can register at
any of the three places mentioned,
the city hall, the postoffice or the
court house. The definite program
for the day was not entirely complet-
ed yesterday, but it will include a
mammoth parade in the afternoon at
4 o'clock, in which between 300 and
400 automobiles will participate. 1t
is probable that band will be secur-
ed to head the parade and the Boy
Scouts and other organizations will
take part.

the following proclamation, calling

Three ten pound packages will go to
each prisoner, which is sufficient to
keep him in good health fortnight.
