master Coe has orders to have his
stores ready for transportation a week
from Monday, the probable date Of
our departure for Augusta.
Corporal Leo Brown took up work
again today. He is not so far behind
for all he has been sick. No reflections
on the company intended.
Capt. FinehoUt acted as commander
or the First battalion today in the alb
sence of Col. Gotham. The captain did
two acts in one toward the end of the
drill, when he acted as sergeant major
ard commander at the same time. He
covered the field with satisfaction to
himself, remembering his Lake City
experience
Lieut.. Bookstaver is dead in earnest
about having the company properly
execute the movements in Butts man
ual. The boys made a grand stand
play this morning.
Sergeant Kelly announces that the
Salvation Army will hold regular meet
1ngs hereafter. He has elected him
self captain.
Otto Santrock shaved today, but the
difference is hardly recognizable. Ser
geant Morgan is the only one who has
stuck to the original agreement not to
shave.
Thomas Howard returned from Rich
mond, Va, today, only to be in time
to go In the kitchen. He says he didn't
see a regiment In all his travels he
would rather be in than the Fifteenth.
Corporals Brant and Collins are hold
Ing a seance tonight to discover, if pos
sible what their st. Paul girls are
doing. Collins claims to be a medium
in such matters, but the boys don't
trust him.
Sergeant,Bunher is busy on the mus
ter and cipthing rolls. He was out
drilling To-Day, however, and blushed
very prettfy when Lieut.. Bookstaver
Inadvertently addressed him as lieu
tenant. AZ sort of premonition, per-
haps, who knows?

Bright and early this morning the
engineer corps left for Augusta, Ga
They took thirty-eight four mule

here, so that by the middle of the
month Camp Meade will be remembered
only by the denaoraliZfng influence and
unpaid bills left in the cities and tho
absence of rail fences on the farms.
The cold weather is very trying on
the men, many of them being down
with bronchitis and heavy colds. The
tents are insufficient protection and an
early movement Southis heralded with
delight. It tfanspires that the main
object in holding the camp here this
late was that the Pennsylvania troops
might have opportunity to vote for Cen
Goblin, who Is candidate for lieutenant
governor. Immediately after election
they count on rapid work in vacating
the camp.
The entire regiment was examined
again this month and the ones culled

Since Sergeant Kelly has been mado
quartermaster for the company he has
shaved his mustache. No excuse is
given for the rash act, except what is
implied from the fact that he is getting
into old territory.
