Since Christmas night our men have
been waiting the announcement that the
folks who entertained them at that time
would again come to Building No. 70. The
announcement was given. The men came.
The evening was the best of it's kind and
will never be forgotten. The young ladies
from Augusta entered into the spirit with
an eagerness to please which was great
~ appreciated by the men. They proved
to the men, however, that the South was
no different from the North in that the
young ladies like to be just a little bit
late. In the interval Mr.. Trombone. our
good-natured pianist, amused with his
playing and his lodging of the missiles
which were hurled at him in appreciation
Of his efforts to keep things going lively.
The singing of the men was the best
that has ever been heard in this part of
camp-and we are willing to put our
bunch against any other set of men in
the division!
Bible class attedance increased this
week to a considerable degree Co. G, of
the 10th. raised it's number from forty
eight to SIXTY EIGHT men, and all of
them were from the one company. That
is fine work See if you can make it
even better this week. In all we had
nearly two hundred men in Bible-classes
on Sunday.

Before us.

Father and Son Week will be observ-
eed by No. 70 in a fitting manner. The
fact stands uncontroverted that the
fathers who are most proud of their
boys in khaki oftentimes hear from
them the least. We have been urging
the men who come out our way to give
Dad surprise and pen him a letter.
We feel mighty positive that such
letter to Dad would strengthen the
home ties a great deal more than at
first appears. We have therefore APP
pealed to the men to give Father
chance to reply to a letter they have
written him.

It was pointed out at the meet
ing that weather conditions had ere
ated much delay in freight move

even with two weeks OF good

the weather conditions is the en-
