the guard. The Macon Hussars fur
nished the orderly who presented a mag
! nificent appearance. Corpl Jack Hall, Of
| Company A, volunteered to relieve
the corporal of the guard,

CAMP NOTES.
Private Arthur Solomon, of Company
&, visited Atlanta Friday.
William Haskell came down from At
lanta yesterday to see the boys. He is an
| eX-member of the Guards
Edward A. Richmond came up from
| Savannah yesterday and spent the day in
camp.
| Sergt. Jim Gordon, of Company C, says
| he is just stuck on guard duty and would
| like to be on every day.
Private Hugh NJ. Conner, Jr, is an ele-
giant sentinel, and as sentinel at the guard
house he cannot be eXcelled.
The troops will leave for home on
Wednesday morning at 10 O'clock
There was a morning german this
morning and a good time was had
MIR. Frank Torley, of Savannah, visited
camp yesterday.
The boys worked hard last night get
ting ready for inspection.
The Southern Rifles, of Talbotton. left
camp this morning. Most of their men
are farmers and are obliged to get home
to their crops.
The Guards say they have done more
work at this encampment than at anv
former one.
The battalion organization of the Guards
| is superb. While each company has it's
own letter and its own men, vet the men
| never forget that they are Savannah
Volunteer Guards, under one head, with
one home for all. The feeling between
the four companies is such as will not he
found IN the various companies of any
other battalion or regiment.
The companies of the Guards all have
the same bill OF fare, as everything is is
sued TO the various companies by the
commissary in equal proportions.
| DIR. Wales, assistant surgeon U. S. A.
on duty at camp, spent Sunday at home
in Atlanta.
| Lieut.. Todd, instructor of guard duty
is about the most popular officer in camp
with the ladies'. The graceful and hand
some lieutenant will make friends where
ever he may go.
The chaplain of the Quitman Guards
held divine services at camp last night
which was we'll attended
The Griffin Rifles came out to church
service yesterday morning in body and
were given front seats.
Lieut.. J. F. Cam will spend the bal
! ance of the tour with his company.
The Pooler Rifles show great
| Improvement in everything, drilling dis
cipliue and general department; their
| officers are made of the right sort of
stuff, and will make their company take
high stand in the state troops
First Sergt. Bevens is good officer
and his officers and the men are fond of
him.
Private Abbott Thomas is one of the
most popular men OF his company; he and
the brigade lead in everything.
The great improvement in the officers
of the various companies is highly compli-
mentary This is all due to the fact that
| a rigid examination has to be passed be-
fore they are commissioned. These eX-
aminations are great thing for the state
volunteers.
The Macon Volunteers are probably the
highest livers IN camp. Their commits
sary is in charge of Caterer Putzel. of
Macon, and this alone would insure good
service.
The hospital corps and medical depart
ment are beautifully managed they have
received very valuable instructions from
Lieut.. Wales, assistant surgeon United
States Army, who is a most efficient OFF
Ger and probably the handsomest man in
camp. He has endeared himself to the
officers and men by his kind and cour-
teous manner of giving instructions and
the attention 10 his duties.
The men Of the Guards certainly know
how to clean up, and when they return
home their families had better have every
thing in proper shape or they will be
seriously criticised and blown up.
Capt. j. +. Brooks returned home last
night. after having spent very pleasant
time in camp with that model company.
