they are certain that success awaits

ney to Augusta for drills in order to
serve their State and train them
selves as guardians of their country.

present. and while their immediate
OBJECT Is to reach the so necessary to
be recognized, their desire and aim
will be to treble their numbers so
that when they apply for their charter
they can muster strength equal to
the strongest organizations in the
State.
A cordial invitation to the meeting
Thursday is given to all interested
men OF Augusta and neighboring cities
and towns who desire to be in a COM
