churches of Augusta. BY the time
DR.. Hawes reached Augusta the men
from Pennsylvania were in battle on
the Marine. The interest of the Au-

intense. DR.. Hawes will tell his peo
pie tomorrow about the presenta-
ton of the flag and about Augusta
and Camp Hancock, also about other
camps he visited, and other services
he was permitted to hold. Il am
