GONE TO MEM P HIS
Departure of the National Fencibles and
the Morton Cadets.
Crowds Assembled Mt the ArmOry and
Depot to See the Boys Or
The Drill Teams.

The Morton Cadets and the National
Fencibles left Washington at 1O:43 last
night over the Southern railway for Mem
phis to take part in the interstate en-
campment and drill in that city next week.
They will arrive in Memphis tomorrow
morning at breakfast time.
The beginning of the start was made
from the National Guard Armory, where
as early as o'clock the men began to ar
rive and complete the final arrangements
for the departure. When the hour came
for the start to the depot a considerable
crowd of spectators had gathered outside
the armory, and as the boys marched
away, escorted by the Lemon Rifles, three
hearty cheers and tiger were given.
Lively Scene at the Depot.
The scene at the depot for half an hour
previous to the departure Of the trains
was a lively one. Mothers, sisters and
sweethearts We're present in force to see
the boys off. and here and there in the
crowd the gratified look of some elderly
man betrayed the. fact that he had a son
in the trlm-looking body of militia as
sembled on the platform. The young SOL
diers were in good form and high spirits,
expressing themselves confident of ac-
quitting themselves with distinction at the
prize drill. The Fencibles were quite con-
they brought from Little Rock last year.
The train bearing the young guardsmen
was dispatched in two sections, the Fen
cibles leaving first and the Morton Ca
diets following shortly afterward. The
coaches were labeled with bunting an
nouncing the name of the companies and
the party travels under the personal care
of Travelling Passenger Agent Beall.
