CITIZENS MUST
GIVE SUPPORT TO
BOYS CONFERENCE

The entertainment committee Tor
the State Boys Conference which is
to be held in this city Friday. Sat
80, Is now busy arranging for &C
commodations for between six and
eight hundred boys that will be in
this city on these dates. This Is in
deed q task, as they realize full wen,
and can only be accomplished sue
cessfully by the aid of the citizens
of Augusta.
To this end, Secretary Herbert A.
Folsom Of the Augusta Chamber OF
Commerce, who is also secretary of
the entertainment committee, was
busy Wednesday sending out over
$50 letters to people here whom 1t
was felt would be willing to take
one or more boys for the three days
that they will be attending the con-
ference.
A banquet will be served on FRI
day and Saturday evenings and ar
rangements are being made to fur
nish the boys with their Sunday eve
ming meal so that It Is only necessary
to furnish five meals and three nights
lodging for the boys.
For those who do not feel that they
can take a boy into their house for
that time, an alternative plan Is sug-
gested whereby they may be respon-
sible for one or more boys who may
be cared for at the Augusta House.
An especially low rate has been
quoted by the management Of this
hotel to cover the entire period that
the boys will be here.
All who will take one or more boys
into their house or who will provide
for one or mre to stay at the Augusta
House are asked to notify Secretary
Folsom at the Chamber Of Com
merce at once in order that the final
arrangements for earring FOR the
boys may be made.

Guide Al Pinkham
Returns to Augusta

Al Pinkham, Lake Cobbosseecon-
tee, U. S.. Al" the well known and
popular guide and fisherman, has
returned from q several weeks visit
In Massachusetts. where he visited
relatives and saw the sights. He is
in the city for the present but will
doubtless move out to his cottage as
early as possible.
One Of AIS alleged most famous
stories, regarding the fish of Cobbos-
see, which he had no difficulty in
making a travelling man believe, due
to AIS convincing manner, was that
the fish at Cobbossee are so thick
that one has to walk over their backs
in order to get from the shore into
their boat. And this no doubt may
be true, just as soon as Charles
Kinsman's fry get into the swim,- big
enough to be caught.
