Brunswick Celebrated


The celebration Of Armistice
Day so far as this county engag.
ed was at Brunswick Tuesday
and the League Post at that city
put on a fine program and had Al
fine day for it. Roads were not.
the best but a large crowd gath
cred to do honor to the soldier
boys and the day and the bright
sky, balmy atmosphere and paw
ed street combined to make the
occasion big success. The
Gillian band had been secured
andrtho not big in numbers, the
boys made good music and all
that was called for and also play
ed for the big dance that night.
The turn out Of soldiers in uni
form was not as great as was
hoped for but there was about a
hundred and perhaps a hundred
and fifty partook of the splendid
banquet prepared for them. 1t
was thot by number of the
bows that unless they were in
uniform they would not be ex-
pected to dine but they were
wrong, as several of them dis
covered in time to get in the
knife, fork and spoon battle.
Supper was also served to all
who came for it. The drill was
fine. about a hundred in the
company and put thru evolution
by Sargent Clyde Deering who
certainly understands how to
direct a drill. 1t was an inspir-
ing sight to see the marching and
other stunts and many an old man
felt his blood flow more freely as
he gazed on the columns as they
passed and repassed and vets
who ambled with stick or two
to prop them, felt like catching
o. =
step and showing the youngsters
that they two could move along
to martial music and yalororoui
thots of the days when-it was :
serious game with them.

tug of war was a fine stunt. Tn

soldiers to no avail. They wer

ladies, matching contest was used
to divide the crowd properly. The
idea being that said husbands and
choir were weary from past duties,
nothing was introduced in the way of
guessing contests and games to ia
tigue them further. Instead they
were entertained by pleasant CONVEX
