THE DRUM CORPS.
The drum corps recently organized,
md which started out under most IA
porable auspices, met last night for re-
hearsal and decided to disband as an
organization, each man returning to his
respective company for the very good
reason that the liberal support Of the
infantry companies promised them has
not been substantially realized and no
funds have been given the drum corps
with which to properly equip itself 1t
will be remembered that the members
desired to purchase new instruments,
which, however, they are unable to do
until the money promised them has been
placed in their hands. The members are
exceedingly discouraged, and it is indeed
TO be regretted that they are no longer
associated as an organization. The re-
'hearsals which have been held have been
OF most excellent and highly salts
Factory order. and it is with regret that
its members consider it necessary to
disband.
To- HONOR HIS MEMORY.
Company B, Walker Light Guards, will,
on the 10th, memorial day, place upon the
grave Of its deceased comrade, Arthur
Leslie Everett, who died of injuries re-
ceived in the unfortunate accident on
lower Main Street, April 10Th, handsome
floral design as a token of the respect
and esteem in which he was held by his
military associates.
All of the members of Company c,
Guard OF the Commonwealth, are
requested to be present at the meeting
to be held in their room at the Armory
