Inspection night proved to be a
grand succtss from the number of
members present and the total ex
ceeded any previous drill period ex
cept perhaps the day the company
was mustered into Federal Service.
It is to be regretted that our arm
ory is inadeouate for full enmnanv
instruction and Lioutenant Instruct
or Newton was compelled to dem
onstrate the different mnvpmpnta rf
,i'jad drill to the company by
means of a squad composed of the
non-commissioned officers.
The boys used the new rifles for
the firpt time and the guns didn't
seem to work well for some of
them.
.. . The equipment was spread out
for inspection of the company and
each man was shown what would be
allotted him in case of a call to
arms. No place for a weakling.
Captain Stidd asked if any one
objected to drilling but from all
reports the men are back of Com

shipment of these garments from

tion of the company to Drenare
small feed each drill night and no
doubt th3 eihciency of this organ

The pay roll blanks fur the

The adjutant informs us that our
sister city of Dallas will soon cpr
a company of N. G. 0. for artil
lery; also that the platoon in Mc
Minnville will soon be enlarged to a
company.
Another shipmet of clothing has
arrived, including blouses, pants,
hats and hat cords and this about
completes the supply of equipment.
Arrangements have not been made
as yet as to distribution. The cus
tom in vogue in other companies
as to wearing the uniforms home is
that they are to be worn only to
and from drill but to be kept by
the men on their honor, in some
cases fines are levied in cas- a
member is caught with his uniform
on.
