8 O'Clock for the first time. They will be

The Ha%rrisonburg Commonwealth
urging the formation of a military COM

Stanton has several fine compa MES.
The "West Augusta Guards was reor-

the splendid drill which distinguished the
corps in the days when Stonewall Jackson
held command, and when it formed q part
of the famous Stonewall Brigade" That
city has also a fine artillery, and will soon
add a cavalry company, we expect.
Speaking of the military, it is high time

formed, Every one of its members, we be-
lieve, "wore the gray in stormier days,
and it would look natural to see the boys
in the old gray again.
