gratifying to our subscribers"
says HI. w. Jernigan, chairman

merely pledging to buy bonds
has not done his full patriotic
duty, but it is now the duty of
every subscriber to call at his
bank and make payment and
until this is done, the subscrib-

by the Government, therefore,
while we have gone over the
top, we will lose this honor un-
less all subscribers make pay

Fourth Was Quiet

The Fourth of July, so far as Au-
gusta was concerned. passed about as
quietly as the majority of people can
remember, and was almost wholly
devoid of any of the features that
usually characterize the day. The
night before, which is usually more
or less productive of noise on the part
of Young America at least, was so
quiet that even people of delicate
nerves had no difficulty in getting Il
good nights rest, and the only SUM
ber-disturber Of the night occurred
soon after midnight, when the fire
alarm was rung in, not for a fire but
for the purpose of getting out help
in the case of James Rogan, night
Waterman at the Vickery & Hill pub
fishing house who was caught by an
elevator.
The Fourth itself was equally quiet.
one reason being perhaps that there
were no fireworks to be had, the city
issuing no licenses this year to deal
ers. Many people were out of town
for the day, quite a number going to
Hallowell, where the odd Fellows
had Field Day observance which
provided an attractive program for
both morning and afternoon and
wound up with a ball in the evening.
The Augusta Country Club also had
a Liberty golf tournament at its
clubhouse in East Winthrop which
called out not a small number of poo
pie other people went to the lakes in
the vicinity Of the city. and to the
seashore. and take it all in all there
were not many stay -at-homes.

She loves him but resents his mas

former admirer out of the house
and sends her relatives and friends,
who have accompanied them to the

surgeon and parasite, shoots the

subterfuge and succeeds in forcing
the assailant to give the necessary
surgical treatment to her husband
that will save his life. The serpent
is banished from their Eden and all
goes happily.
