pauy B, Capt Holman, the Presbyterian
Church; and Company c, Capt. Carmichael,
the Methodist Church.
The staff attended the Baptist Church,
where Rev Henry S. Hartzog, a Citadel
graduate of the class of 1886, preached. He
delivered very able and stirring sermon
that was appropriate to the occasion and the
congreg ation present. The entire congrega-
ton, both Cadets and civilians, were greatly
pleased with Mr.. Harizog's manner Of deliv-
cry and the subject matter of his discourse.
Many Of the cadets in fact, nearly all OF
those who could obtain permission, accepted
invitations and dined at the homes Of friends
and acqnan,ances among the citizens.
The afternoon, the cadets spent in their
tents, wrapped, not in blankets, but in the
arms of Morpheus.
The cadets were out on leave Suodav evea-
ing, goodly uumoer Of them at any rate; and
twas noticed that those who attended religious
services had partners from among the resi-
dents of Sumter, aad they were girls.

broken. Guard mounting every morning is
attended bv the usual number of cadet ad-
mirers-the Young ladies having majority
of the crowd.
