of James Fitzgerald Post No. ?. Amer
lean Legion, and from every indlca-
ton Armistice Day will be celebrated
in a manner long to be remembered.
Word has been received from the
Cushnoc Paper Co., that they will
have big delegation in line. They
have been assigned to the third divi-
sion and will form on Willow street,
opposite the Gannett Pub. Co., at 8
A. NJ. marching to Chapel street
where they will take their place in
line. The Cushnoc has secured the
bagpipers from Clan Campbell, Lewis
ton. This Organization is a novelty to
Augusta people and is sure to make
tremendous hit.
Merchants along Water street were
busy Wednesday decorating their
windows and the city this morning
will present in every way a holiday
aspect. People all over the city are
requested to display the national
colors.
Reports regarding the parade show
that there will be at least three bands
in line and large number Of beauti-
fully decorated floats, as we'll as hum
dreds of people marching with the
various organizations, and hundreds
of ex-service men in uniform.
The football game Cony VS.. Gardi-
ner High at 2 p. NJ, on The Reuel
Williams field promises to attract an
enormous crowd. Gardiner has team
that has been going good all the
season and will come to the Capital
City this afternoon confident of sue
cess, bringing a big crowd of rooters.
Cony has not had as successful sea-
son as in 10, but last Saturday the
local lads trimmed the snappy Abbott
aggregation and displayed so much
pep" that their followers claim Gar
diner is due one big surprise. that the
red and white will come through in
fine form and keep the boys from
down the Kennebec as busy as the
proverbial "cootie" Cony will have a
big crowd of followers on hand and
with a band to furnish music before
the game and between periods there
will not be a dull moment from the
time the referees whistle is blown to
start the game until it's finish.
