COMPANY.
Mustered in ut IliggInsville Thursday,
and Are Now United States
Soldiers.

The Lafayette county company has been
organized, and is now "A part OF the United
States army. They were examined and
mustered in Thursday, and every man
has taken the oath which binds HIM TO
Uncle sam until they are discharged by
an order from the war department, or get
their release from a Spaniard's bullet.
The company to which our boys belong
is Company *" Fifth Regiment, Ma
tional Guards, State of Missouri, and it is
said to be one of the finest bodies OF men
which will he led from the state to repre-
sent old Missouri at the front. The COM
pany is made up of men from all over the
county, and every locality is represented.
No sectional feeling was evinced by the
men, and everyone was we'll satisfied with
the manner in which the Offices were dis
tributed.
The men were given a strict physical
examination, and those who passed were
at once sworn in and ordered TO report at
4:3O O'Clock for the election of officers.
Lieut.. Col. c. A. Morgan addressed the
men, and briefly stated the business
before them.
DIR. j. J. Fulkerson was chosen for zap
tain, without a dissenting vote. Our
boys appreciate Captain Fulkerson's work
in raising the company, and recognizing
the personal merit of the man were glad
to have a captain in whom they could
repose their entire confidence. The mem
bers OF Company "K' may rest assured
that their captain will, when they met the
Spaniards, give them an opportunity to
show the material of which they are made.
Kenneth w. Carter was elected first
lieutenant. The vote was unanimous.
Mr.. j. Shannon Carter, of Higginsville,
was unanimously elected second l%ieuten-
ant. Mr.. Carter has been Captain Full
kerson's right hand man in the work OF
enlisting the company, and has worked
as faithfully as any man. Not only his
work in the matter was recognized but
his worth as well.
The officers below lieutenant were APP
pointed by the captain. The appoint
ments were made on the merit of the
men, and as nearly as possible the men
were selected from different parts OF the
county General satisfaction was ex-
pressed with the fair and impartial man
ner in which the appointments were
made.
