of Company E who joined a short
time previous to the departure for
camp. A second lieutenant will be
elected at camp
The soldiers arrived in Parkersburg
today, but the encampment proper
does not begin until the following
morning, when the routine begins.
Ten days of true soldering will fol-

National Guard to perform. Details
for the various work will be selected.

times it is hard thing to do in the

names have been called i'll alphabet
