Powell, assisted by Lieutenants Merman O. Stalnaker and Leland K. Gilbert, Nearly (he full strength o fthe com pany was present at the inspection and the boys made a fine showing both in appearance and in executing the many difficult evolutions in the -drill which followed the inspection. The veteran-like manner in which the mi litiamen drilled was a revelation to the spectators, many of whom had never witnessed the company worlf, and the commanding officers received many warm compliments from Albany peo ple in.mi the splendid showing made. Following the inspection, which consumed nearly an hour, the floor was cleared for a dance, for which in vitations had been issued during the week. Over two hundred couples were on the floor and the remainder of the evi-ning was spent in tripping the light fantastic to music played by the Chautauqua orchestra of this city. Those who attended the dance ex pressed the nisei vr.s as having had a most delightful time and say that the guardsmen are excellent entertainers. The iiuif.it was very good and the flour which was recently placed in first class shape at considerable ex pense proved to be entirely satisfac tory to everybody. Half of the money used for fixing the floor was contributed by the state and the other half by the local com pany ami the proceeds of the ball Sat urday evening will be used to pay a part of the expense involved.

The Albany company of Coast Ar tillery which was inspected Saturday evening has won the reputation of be ing the crack company of the regi ment of reserves and at the annual maneuvers and target practice held at Fort Stevens last August, was the only company that was successful in making a hulls-eye with the big 10 inch guns. This remarkable record was made at a range of (2(KI yards or approximate ly Wt miles from the gun and the pyramidal target which was located in the Pacific ocean at that range was badly shattered by the 605-pound pro jectile tired by the members of the local company whose mark man slim was warmly complimented by the of ficers of the regular army at Hattery Knssell. llesides making the only bulls-eye during the maneuvers, the other four shots fired bv the Albany company were hits. At the maneuvers next year, the local artillerymen will fire the big guns without any supervision by regular army officers and an effort will be made to surpass this year's record. The annual inspection and muster of the Albany company, at which the full strength of the company will lie present, will occur during the latter p:ir1 of lamuvv.

AN OHIO MAN HITCHED HIS WIFE TO A PLOW Woman Now Asks Court for Divorce; Judge Signed Decree with Pleasure. Lisbon, O., Dec. 23. After telling the court how her husband Jacob Zimmerman, had hitched her to a plow as the "off-horse" with her brother, Emma Zimmerman was granted a divorce today by Judge Moore. The court added that he nev er had felt more genuine pleasure in signing a decree in his life. Although subjected to hardships and abuse, Mrs. Zimmerman, who is only 23 years old, still has the bloom of health in her cheeks. She told on the stand how her husband had abus ed her and her baby and then forced her and her brother, Walter Yeager, into the harness and hitched them to the plow. They were driven over the fields like a team of oxen pulling the big shear, she said. Three witnesses were called to sub stantiate the charge, but their exam ination was cut short by Judge Moore, who remarked that he was thoroughly conversant with the facts as he had sentenced the husband to serve three months in the workhouse following his conviction on a charge of cruelty growing out of the plowing case. The Zimmermans were married in New Cumberland, W. Va., in 1909. COURT HOUSE NOTES Warranty Deeds. The Albany Land Co., to Susan Casteel. Oct. 21, 1910.
