Home Guards Drill.
Last night the Home Guards drilled
for an hour on East and West Mar
ket street. There were between 30 and
40 men in the company. They are fast
learning the rudiments of drill work
and last night's work demonstrated
that with a few more drills the boys
will be ready -to go into camp and
drill like veterans. Capt. Schenck is
much pleased with the showing his
men have made.
Handsomely Done.
The editor makes bis best bow to the
Tom Rice Jewelry Co. for a match
safe that is truly a "thing of beauty"
and a joy to the smoker who would
fain keep his matches dry. Engrav
ing and all it is, like all the handi
work of this live firm, handsomely
done. Folks who remember the news
paper man their hearts must be
properly located.
Slow to Volunteer.
A gentleman who is well posted on
military matters yesterday commented
on the slowness with which the men
are volunteering for the various com
panies. A considerable number of
men from each company are turned
down by the examining surgeon and
difficulty is experienced in filling the
vacancies, len desiring to volunteer
can 'probably secure admission to
some of the companies by applying at
the recruiting office here. While no
reason has been given for this slowness
it is probably due to the reluctance of
green men to go to a warm climate.
