 The fine equipment of Battery B. the Montgomery battery. has been carried out to Camp Ligon to be used in the big gun drills. The local battery is said to be better equipped than any bat tery south of Mason and Dixon's line. The various batteries in their drills will use the equipment of the local battery. During the week Major Westcott will have target practice at the Holt rifle range with the gatIings and with some of the smaller guns. The big guns. some of which carry eleven miles. can not of course be used on the range. Special inter est is felt by the arttl- lerymen in the approaching marksman- the cavalry.
