 Artillery Drill.
 Yesterday the Brandon Light artillery spent the day at the fair grounds drill- ing and getting used to the manouvers which they will have to execute Thurs day in firing the salute to Governor Jelks. Considerable improvement was shown in the work of the men and by Thursday they will have all the minor points perfected so there will be no hitches. Mess was served on the grounds shortly after 12 o'clock and three hours later the guns were limbered up and brought back to the city. About thirty members of the battery spent the day and a number of others were out at different times.
 The battery is drilling hard every night to perfect themselves in the manage ment of the guns. The handling of tho mules Is, however, the hardest portion of the work and the artillerymen have some trouble in persuading them to do just as they should
 Every military company in the city has been drilling hard for the past few weeks perfeeting themselves in order that they may enter the various prize drills, which are to be the feature of the first days programme. Nearly every company in the state will be represented at the fair, some of them promising to send an al- most complete complement of men.
