The Eagle in its Wednesday morning
issue stated that the colored military
company was about to dlsband tor lack
Of good and sufficient men to sign the
bond Of Capt. Thomas. The fatcs in
the matter are these. The company is
in prosperous condition and there
never has been or isn't now any likell-
hood of the company disbanding, and
for the benefit Of the Eagle we will say
that the delay in the signing OF the
bond was caused by the gentlemen who
qualified on the same, wisely took the
time to thourghlv acquaint themselves
with the obligations uamed in the bond
before signing 1t. Mess Thomas Gloqer
and Sergt. Hatcher have qualified as
