NOTES.
Captain James e. Shelley is the athlete
of the regiment. He and Lieutenant Burke
are contemplating starting a circus when
the regiment gets to Cuba. d.
CAPTAIN VIM NJ Walker is the ladies'
man. of the camp He receives more in
vitations to visit in town than any other
officer.
Lieutenant A. W. Orion was officer of
the guard Tuesday when the regiment was
mustered in, and kept the sentinels moving
at all times.
Lieutenant Norman Jones is conceded to
be the handsomest lieutenant in camp, as
is evidenced by the big crowd of young
ladies who gather in front of his company
at dress parade.
1t will be noticed above that J. Courtney
Hixon of Unuion Springs, who it was
thought would be adjutant of the regiment,
has been made a captain instead. Colonel
Sargent couldn't afford to let a man who
had had the experience that Colonel Hixon
has had in commanding soldiers to remain
in a staff position. |
Captain Henry Bankhead of Fayette Is |
one of the youngest captains in the United |
States army, being only a little over q |
years of age. But he is nevertheless prov |
ing himself most efficient officer.
Colonel Sargent was quick to recognize |
a splendid officer in Captain league of |
Montgomery, who has long been acknowl- |
edged as one of the best officers in the Ala |
bama national guard.
Hospital Steward Fred Enslen off Blr- |
mingham is proving himself very popular |
with all of the men.
