militiamen, but Capt. Isle w. Brown,
who ia looking after the details, is con-
fident that 1t will prove a successful
one.
The object of the fair will be to start
an armory fund The company is badly
in need of an armory, and unless some
thing is done before very long in that
regard 1t is not likely Marshalltown will
be able to hold the company. The state
expects each company to have good
home. and the one now temporarily oc-
cupied is not such as to provide the ac-
Communications necessary. The company
members have tried hard to induce
capitalists to erect building for them,
but SO far have been unsuccessful. The
company and band receive from the
state 1900 annually as rent fund, and the
boys consider this amount pretty good
returns on the investment required. IL,
however, they can raise enough money
themselves they will build their own
armory and have one that VIII be a
permanent fixture, not only for the
present company, but for the members
of the organizations that will follow 1t.
