attending the Citizens Military Train

to the position of sergeant, said that
he came to Pensacola in preference to
other camps because he wished to put
over the organization Of Junior Cham

West Florida; that whatever is of ad-

Georgia, and that whatever promotes
the interests Of Georgia is injected into
the arteries of trade of the entire south
eastern section.
