no MUSTER IN COMPANY +.
IL VIII Re-Enter the State Service
Tuesday Night.

The first military company in Virginia
to re-enter the State service after the
war with Spain will be mustered in at
the Armory Tuesday night.
Former Company Il, of the old First
Regiment, later Company NJ. Of the Third,
will become State volunteers on the night
mentioned. The company was reorgan-
lied about two months ago. 1t Is be-
lieved TO be the fourth to apply for re-
admission to the State service.
The date of the muster-in Of other COM
panies is not known. There is a very
prevalent impression that this will not

siderable objection to delay, as the men
are tired meeting every week and doing
nothing.
Company NJ held its regular meeting
last night, with large attendance.
