Liberty Guards sent eleven men to the
ward range and troop II, from Waynes-
boro eight. So far the Hussars are
away in the lead having sent up 40. To

5OO-vard range and soon the end will
come and the prize be awarded
This afternoon the wheelmen of the
city rode out to the camp, and the
troopers. feeling in good spirits, guyed
them no little.
The longer the boys are in camp the
more homelike they feel.
The dress parade this afternoon was
the best witnessed. The officers took
advantage of the weather and drilled the
regiment and battalion about twice as
long as usual The crowd was not so
large as heretofore, another game of ball
drawing them away
THE GOVERNOR COMING THURSDAY.
The governor win be down Thursday
and review the troops.
One of the cleverest fellows in camp is
Bob Hull of the Hussars. He was
schoolmate of Capt. Bailey of the Spald
ing Greys
Capt. Kenan, instructor in guard duty,
complimented the Guards very highly to-
day He said the first relief had just
been visited and that they were about
the best he had seen. The captain is
little sick to-day, but is attending to his
duties.
The officer of the day is Capt. Beirne
Gordon of Troop A. and a fine officer he
has made No better could have been
found He reflected honor upon both
himself and his company. He is well up
in military tactics and his entire com
pany show the effect of it. Lieut.. Barnes,
of the First battalion is officer of the
guard.
Capt. Greenough did some nice work
to-day by way of instructing the cavalry
school He had lay figures to illustrate
the position at any time of the regiments,
columns and platOons and the lecture was
thought to be one of the best yet deliver
ed.

as to their competency for commissions.

dress parade.
SUNDAY QUIET DAY.
Sunday was a quiet day at camp as the
soldiers were not disposed to work too
much on the Sabbath Those in authori-
ty were somewhat of the same opinion,
and hence the only duty required was
guard mounting at o'clock and religious
services at Il o'clock. The day was quite
warm and the boys fully appreciated the
rest. 1t was just such as is needed after
siege of hard work, and to say it
was enjoyed would be to express it mild
w Some of the companies have very
strong religious convictions as a body.
Yesterday when talking Of a dress pa
rade, one of them said, they did not
know what the others would do, but they
were not going to have a dress parade.
Not because they dreaded the work, for
they are one of the best bodies
of men ip camp, so far as willingness to
work. is concerned, but because they had
religious scruples against such exercises.
The same company once refused to 90 in
tocamps because they would have been
compelled to travel on Sunday.
REV. WAYS ADDRESS.
Rev E. w Way, of the Liberty hide
pendent Troop, addressed the Y NJ c. A.
in Griffin yesterday afternoon, using as
text the second verse of the 18th chapter
of Romans BE not conformed to this
world, but be transformed by the renew
ing of your minds, that We may prove
what is that true, acceptable and perfect
will of God The talk was replete with
sound principles, and all present felt
that the speaker meant what he said
The audience was large, quite a number
of the soldiers being among the humble
Work at the camp goes steadily on, and
the traing is shown in the improvement
in drilling. Even now, great improve
ment can be seen both in drilling upon
the field and in the manual of arms
The cavalry men win soon
be equal to the infantry,
and that is saying good deal, as the
boys of the First battalion are no slouches
as soldiers. Some of them in their new
uniforms present handsome appearance
but the fellows with the yellow trim
mings are close behind them
The Georgia Hussars have been doing
some fine work on the rifle range, in
fact, the best yet done In the
practice the Hussars entered twenty
three men, and seventeen of them We're
advanced to the 500-yard range.
The Liberty Independent Troop sent mp
only two. The best scores of the Hussars
are: +. c. Wilson A, }. Z. Shropshire
40 and r, r. Dancy 40
JOKE ON EDITOR MARTIN.
The boys succeeded in perpetrating a
good joke on Editor r. NJ Mar
tin, of Troop B. 1t seems
that he and Maj Cassels were ont little
late one nigh ., in fact too late, as no light
is allowed in the tents after the good
night tap Some one lighted Martins
lamp, and consequently the next morning
an officer gave orders Tor private il NJ
Martin to step toward and march To the
captains headquarters at once.
He went with fear and trembling. He
marched up and the captain began to
talk to him in a very sad tone about his
conduct the night before, stating that he
