A Silly Joke.
Some smart Alec, without much brains,
on last Saturday, gave Captain John D.
Whitesdes, Of Hickory Grove, bogus
telegram purporting to be from the
adjutant general and ordering his eompa-

was sent the members of the company.

so far as THE ENQUIRER knows, none OF
them refused to respond. There was nat

parents and friends, and when the hoax
was discovered, just wrath was directed
against the hair Drained fools who per-
petrated the miserable attempt at joke.
Who is responsible for the telegram, The
ENQUIRER has not learned.
