much to do.
Will Collier is regimental adjutant,
ranking as first lieutenant He has
many reports to make out and is kept
pretty busy. He's the same old .'Pud,
shoulder straps not having given him
the big head in the least.
AS regimental quartermaster, Will
Berkele has just about as much on
hand as he can attend to. He has sew
eral men under him, but is kept rush
ed all the time.
Captain Mike Salter is regime tai
quartermaster for the First kentucky
or Louisville Legion, and is located
about three miles from our boys.
All that talk about poison being
placed in the spring was fake.
Capt. Duncan says he took no part

kicked up over the trouble, yet it wa.
not SO bad as made out.
The regiment has a band of sixteen
men, and they make extra good music

This will catch them sure.
While looking at the brave boys il
camp, 1 could not help think of how
the jam" boys, who staid at home
would like the idea of being made t,
do anything. What 1 mean by jam
boys is the kind of darlings who go t,
the table at home and whine if MON
mer hasn't got any preserves on thu
table to tickle their trifiing palates
There are many Jam boys about tow
whose mothers still use safety pin
on them. These fellows need just sucl
a dressing down as they would surel,
get at Chckamauga. There are ais,
some men holding down goods boxe
and chairs about town, who, altho
past the Jam period, have never learn
ed to work. A couple of hours drill
ing would not hurt these worthie
either.
Ed Finley and Coleman Lee, tw
former Lancaster boys, are member
of the Louisville Legion. and are il
camp.
