Thomas Hunter. ...-...--- SO
Private Hull -
The last six are from Troop A.
The record OF the Hussars as shooters
has been raised considerably, but the com
pany from WaynesborO will carry the
colors, as it is generally believed they VIII
be given to the company making the best
individual score. The H troopers are jul
bilant over their victory, and well may
they be- for it was hard earned
DR.. Keller of Troop A has been APP
pointed acting assistant post surgeon
and ranks as a lieutenant
Troop B has petitioned the colonel to
allow them to break camp Friday night
after dress parade so they will be enabled
to reach home before Sunday. The pc
tition was signed by most of the officers in
camp.
A sKIRMIsH DRILL.
This afternoon after the dress parade
the boys were put through some skirmish
tactics and it looked mighty like war,
except that there was no firing. Two of
the companies were stationed at the low
er end Of the parade grounds, while the
others were drawn up in an angle in the
woods between the tents on the upper
side the camp and the parade grounds
The Georgia Hussars were doing most of
the skirmishing and nicely did they do
their part. The army ambulance and
fl,., do -,
see them moving around under the
q signals of the little white flag with the
red centre presented a warlike appear
ance. The first to get wounded was
Private Hunter, who was shot in the leg.
The ambulance came up in a sweeping
gallop and carried him TO the rear. Then
Sergeant Eichberg was shot between the
eyes and IN bullfrog fashion keeled over.
OF course it was all pretense and no one
was at all hurt but when the skirmish-
ers made the last charge upon the troops
in the woods the yells sounded very much
like the regular army yell would.
A SHAM BATTLE.
Tomorrow is governors day and he
and his staff will be here A sham battle
viii take place in the afternoon and ev-
erybody will be out. Blank cartridges
will be used, and the effect will be like
general war. The cannon viii peal forth
Governor.

of Griffin young ladies at 4 o'clock din
ner to-day. Those present We're Misses
Bessie and Mamie Mills, Opal and Matte
Smith, jamie BrOwner and Matte Tut
wiler.
GORDON's MANUAL APPROVED.
The following communication has been
received at Camp Northen and will go
out for publications
State OF Georgia Adutant and Inspector
Generals Once, Atlanta, july :, ls93.-The
manual of military law of force in the state
of Georgia, prepared by private w. W. Cor
don, Jr., OF Troop A, Fifth regiment Georgia
cavalry, is approved, and is adopted for the
use and guidance OF the volunteer forces of
JNO. MCINTOSH KELL
Adjutant and Inspector General.
This is quite compliment to Mr. Cor
don and not only Troop A, but the entire
Fifth regiment of cavalry are much
elated over the news.
Troop A has captured another of the
offices in that Lieut. Henry McAlpin is
for to-day officer of the guard. All who
know the lieutenant feel that he will
fulfill the duties of his Office as only the
A trooper can.
Capt Galloway of the First battalion
is officer of the day.
The hospital is now empty and the sur
geon and stewards are sitting with folded
hands waiting for some one else to fall
sick. Camp Northen has fully main
tanned its standard of being healthy and
comfortable, there being as few sick as
seems possible out of such large body of
men
Visitors still continue to come in, and
soon Griffin will be as gay as she was last
year when those Savannah Guards were
here. BY the way they are being much
fa4lxad nf and fbaiT- arrival will ba baila1
withsioy by all the society element of the
Genacity. They seem to be favOrites with
quite a good many.
Everybody is looking forward to the
governors day with much interest. He
will come down with his staff and review
the troops.
TROOPERS AT REVIVAL.
By way of varying the monotony of
camp life, good number of the boys come
in town after supper and attend the pro
tracted services at the Baptist church,
and then repair to the ice cream parlors,
where they are greeted with cool cream
and warm smiles.
The "Mikado' will be played here
Thursday night by an amateur company
from Columbus. The troupe is composed
of the society people of Columbus, and
will come in on special over the Georgia
Midland IN time TO take in the dress pa
rade in the afternoon. They will play
that night, returning home after the per
Torrance. The troupe is forty strong,
and large escort will accompany them
? The german given by tine Gem City
German Club, last night, was in every
way big success. The crowd was unus-
ually large and all voted il one OF the
most enjoyable dances ever given The
music was made by the orchestra attach
ment Of the Atlanta Military band, and
deserves especial mention. The german
IA l.
detail was happily consummated If the
foreigners can't play ball, they certainly
can "trip the light fantastic toe. e" though
some Of those toes would make good
