THE oGLETHoRPE's BAND.
The Oglethorpe's string band is vieing
with Marston's military band in furnishing
music for the camp. Last night it gave ar
open-air concert in the company's street
which was largely attended by the otner
members of the regiment. Friday night
the band visited Griffin and took the town
bv Storm While the boys Of this command
are here having their quota OF fun, yet at
che same time they are doing lots OF hard
work under Capt Rockwell and Lieuts.
McHarrie and Wylly.
The Cadets are the ladies' men OF Camp
Northen. They have more visitors from
che fair sex than any command in the field.
Sergt West has appointed himself she
ohaperon of the ladies, and he carries his
honors with a grace and gallantry that
makes the balance of his comrades envious.
Malcolm Cunningham Of Atlanta, a mem
Der of the Mobile drill team, took dinner
with the Cadets Friday.
Private H. NJ. Ward has been nick
named PEARSON" by the boys.
Zach Boyd is holding up Tug" Wilson's
end gracefully. He hunks with Corpl.
Gaudry. The Cadets are working hard
upon their guns and accouterments, and
they are now in better shape than ever.
When not at work Sergt. Vests tent is a
favorite spot with the boys
Bugler Lacy of Battery is favorite in
che Cadets street, where he often visits.
Lieut.. Haynes instructed the signal corps,
composed Of Corpl Strobbar Privates
Stroohar, Kriete and Coney Thursday.
The Blues are jolly set of boys In Capt
Dixon they have an officer who, while ex-
acting from them a strict adherence to
military discipline, at the same time be-
heves in letting the boys have little limo
cent amusement by way of variation. At
night the Blues gather together in their
street and enjoy themselves singing and
cracking jokes.
First Sergeant Dixon makes fine officer.
He has no superior on the duties Of his posi-
ton, and combines with it a handsome per-
sonal appearance and genial manner.
Commissary Sergeant Drummond is
largely responsible for keeping the boys in
good humor by the excellent fare which he
furnished them. Sergt. Drummond is the
pet Of his command.
THE CAMPS FAvoRITEs.
The Greens are by all odds the favorites Of
Camp Northen. They have captured Griffin,
and the Grifflnites think there is nothing
In the state like Savannahs Jasper boys.
They are a sociable set and have made
themselves acquainted with nearly every
body in Griffin. Capt. Flsnnery has
reason to be proud Of the work his boys are
doing in the field. The Greens are
proud OF him as a commander and take the
utmost pleasure in doing their level best to
put up creditable exhibitions in drills and
dress parades.
First Sergeant Ed Leonard can't be beat.
He Is up in every detail OF his duty, and his
word is law with the boys in the camp. The
word popularity" only half expresses his
comrades feelings toward him.
Handsome SergU. Mccarthy takes the eye
of the fair sex who visit Camp Northen. He
makes an imposing appearance and finer
looking soldier can't be found any where.
Ex-Sergt. Mcmahon is another of the
favorites in camp. He leads the Green's
sacred concert choir, but his sentimental
nature and the thoughts of some fair one in
his old Savannah home causes him quite
often to forget his sacred music programme
and inject love song. which makes all the
boys feel like wanting to pack up and get
back to their sweethearts at once.
THE GREENS GUNS.
Speaking of polished guns, the Green's
can't be excelled. They have been work
ing on their pieces every dav, and now they
look as span and spic as if just produced
from the factory. Corpl. Nick Corish has
the cleanest and prettiest gun in the camp.
He was complimented to-day by officers of
his company on the splendid condition il
which he is keeping his piece. CorpL Corish
was on the first guard at ChickamauZa last
year, and he had similar honor here Tues
day.
Privates Gallaher and Leonard, the
'msrionettes. are still holding forth with
their fun and keeping the camp
alive with laughter. To-day
they went to town to call upon Mayor
Stewart and returned to Camp Northen
dressed in flags and bunting and flaming
themselves with large palmetto fans.
Corpl Roman is the leading tenor singer
OF the Greens street. His forte is senti-
mental love songs.
POSTMASTER HARTY.
Private Will Harty is clerk of the regi.
ment now with the rank Of postmaster.
Win says he has caught on to all the boys
sweethearts' names through handling tn,
mails.

vate Pepper Of the stay-at-home guards fol
bucket of fine shrimp. Col. Reilly. Adjt
O'Byrne and Lieut. Roman were guests o
Capt. Flannery at dinner.
The Albany Guards is the star COMPANY
of the Fourth. The members of this com
mand aud the Greens have struck up
friendship and visit each Others street
nightly. The boys of the Fourth are hav
ing plenty of fun. Day before yesterda,
they captured a negro boy who was goini
through their camp and 70

soaring the darby. They toll
him he was 70 be shot and would only hav
an hour to get himself ready. the DO,
pleaded and cried until his captors relente
and turned him loose. He needed no urg
ing to leave the grounds, and proved him
self good long distance runner.
The Fourths boys also had lively tim
with a rattlesnake day or two ago. Th
snake was found leisurely crawling aroun
one of the streets taking a view of th
tented field, and when the boys started fc
him his snakeship showed fight IL too
