Celebration of General Lees
Birthday.

Celebration of General Lees
Birthday.
The u. d. C..'s of Johnston cele-
brated General Lees birthday last
Friday and in doing so they did great
honor to US in serving dinner that
could not be excelled, to fifteen of
the Apys who wore the gray and fol-
lowed Lee.
NE were invited to the palatial
home of Mrs. ]. H. White where the
daughters met us with warm greet
ing .welcome was expressed on every
coHitenance, the electric currents
wMpered kindliest greetings, the
soft zephyr that floated through the
hall said "welcome;;" every one muir
INJURED their pleasure at our presence
with one acclaim, both the daughters
and nature bade us truest welcome.
The u. D. C.s' of Johnston are the
uncrowned queens efasasi hearts, the
inspiration Of every and chiv-
|alrous deed. Yes, these noble ladies
did themselves proud in the liberal
reception they gave these bullet scar
red veterans, and we are truly loud
of them. The most inspiring sight was
to see those graceful, cultured daugh-
tiers looking after those old fellows,
seeing that their plates were kept
Ewellfilled. They were glad to do hon
or to the men who helped to write
the most brilliant page in all mill
tary history, that encircles the Con-
Efederate soldier with halo of i'm
Eperishable glory.
IS How each one enjoyed this occa-
sion, and the good things that were
on that table. We all carry sweet
memories of this grand reception
with us, as a loving token on the
mile-post of life.
Every one of the boys were in high
"glee. They walked with elastic step,
stood as straight as the mountain
pine, not an old man in all the bunch! !!
Time had whitened their locks and
care had dimmed their vision, some
what, that's all.
3 are too eheapsfor US to at
#tems EssssI
let me say in behalf Of every veter-
an that enjoyed that, bountiful din
ner, we come with gloves off and hat
in hand and bow our thanks to Mrs.
White and the whole committee of
the u. D. C. of Johnston. 1 repeat,
you are the uncrowned queens of
our hearts.
This kind expression of your es-
TEEN for US, makes US feel much
younger and stronger. And you do
honor to our great chief, Robert E..
Lee, when you honor the men who
followed him.
And the name Of Robert E. Lee
will ride down the ages and will live
in the hearts of the Southern people
as long as stone will bear the marks
of the engraver's chisel.
After the dinner was served, and
the boys got through smoking and
fighting again the battles of the SIX
ties, Mrs. White presented the Rev.
M. D.. Padgett with beautiful muf-
fer, and oh, how it did make him
smile and pat his foot. Well, he was
the oldest man, don't you know. But
don't tell him l said that.
Let me say this, and I say it. rev.
erently and devoutly, good woman
is the crowning pivot of Gods crea-
ton.

Fight Results by Wireless

Robert Parker. Jr., of North Bel
fast avenue who operates one of the
highest tensioned wireless outfits in
the State will get the result of the
Dempsey-Carpentier, fight today
round by round by wireless.
He has his telephone in readiness
and the voices of the officials as they
give out their dope will be instantly
heard by those privileged to be pres
ent during the receiving of the re-
suits.
1t is sure to be wonderful
demonstration and is almost certain
of success because of the fact that
this is not the first instance of Mr..
Parker's achievements in the wire
less field. During the past winter
he had the opportunity of hearing
by wireless some of the best artists
in the music world, also some Of the
finest bands as they played before
their large audiences in the finest
theatres of the country, and many q
time he has invited his friends to
participate in the enjoyment Of it all.

New Trip for
Autoists Possible

Under the new arrangement, made
by the kennebec Navigation Co.,
motorists in Augusta, Gardiner and
other nearby towns can have a de-
lightful trip on Sundays, Tuesday or
Thursdays. They can run their cars
on board the steamship City of
Rockland, which leaves Gardiner at
4.30 2. NJ, daylight saving time,
make the trip to Bath, where they
can run their cars off the boat, and
proceed homeward by way Of New
Meadows Inn, Brunswick and the
fine State highway from the college
town to Gardiner or Augusta. The
charge for transporting pleasure
automobiles from Gardiner to Bath
on these trips is only 81 and by this
plan the company is opening a most
delightful chance for touring parties
to enjoy a beautiful sail down the
kennebec from Gardiner to Bath
and complete the trip during the
cool Of the summer afternoon or eve
ming There is to be a concert by
Gaudreau's concert band of Bath at

that city. so that those who make
the trip down on the boat will have
a chance to hear a concert by the
band which furnished the music for
Bowdon college commencement and
which sold more than 1000 season
tickets for a course Of five concerts
at the Bath Opera house during the
last winter, the tickets bringing the
band more than $500 in revenue.
Bath is very porud Of this band,
claiming it the best in Maine and one
of the best in New England. The
concert is over by $50 and this gives
Gardiner and Augusta people a
chance to hear it all and still get in
bed before the dawn of the Fourth.
