SOCIETY COLUMN.
PYPHIAN NOTES.
Too much praise can not be given
the faithful few SIR Knights who at
tended the monthly dell OF the uni
form ranks OF the city on Tuesday
night. the 3lst ult. Those who were
for their absence missed a
treat while those who were present en-
j Eyed il. Some seem 10 think that it
is enough TO put on uniform when
the rank is called before the public
and being undrilled will be laughing
stock for all spectator. The time is
fast coming when your services will
not be needed and no officer will allow
you in his campary. These drills are
beneficial and those who have desire
10 see the uniform department up TO
the standard should attend these drills
and receive the wholesome instructions
given. Every man should know how
Co drill in these good old war times.
We shall look for you on the 2pth Of
this month.
