A TIMELY DRINK OF BEER-Last Sunday
when portion of our State militia was on
parade in Annunciation square there was
little opportunity for the men to obtain
water or other kind of beverage. Fore
seeing this, Captain Mccain, Company ID,
wisely arranged with Mr.. Brewer Sturcken
for twin kegs of beer, to be sent to the
square aforesaid on wagon. To prevent
any kind OF mistake, the captain had the
wagonslabeled in such manner that even
cross-eyed man might run and read that
the beer was donated by Mr.. Sturcken, and
that it was exclusively. for the members of
Company ID. The men relished the beer on
that occasion. if they never did before at
ter the toll Of marching and countermarch-
ing. This same company, after the inspec-
tion, visited new restaurant in the Second
District and partook of a wholesome lunch,
on invitations from Captain Mccain, Lieu
tenant Thebaut and other ofiicers-a fitting
way 70 close the day.
