The Little Rock, Arkansas
Democrat copied our article in
regard to the Hampton Guards,
of this city, and has the follow.
ing to say: 1.-The Democrat is
forced to acknowledge the claim
of priority, but not that the
Hampton Guards is more beauti.
full and soldierly than the Dixie
Lady Guards. Wait till the lat
ter have seen twelve months
service, then they will be ready
to compete with the best in the
land in the execution of the most
difficult maneuvers in the man
ual and on the field" Not hav-
ing seen the Dixie Lady Guards
we are not able to pass upon
their good looks. No doubt they
are beautiful indeed, AS far as
the Hampton Lady Guards, Of
this city is concerned they are
simply just out of sight,
