.sAT ON THE LID.
City Visited by Military
Men Last Tuesday.

Quite a number of officers Of the
State Guard were in town Tuesday
and met with, several military men
Of the city at Hotel Latham. Their
deliberations were behind closed
doors, and the sessions took
ia great part of the day. They
were as dumb as oysters as to what
they did, and have nothing to give
out at this time, though later they
wili'be heard from. This leaves the
public guessing as to the cause of
the meeting being called.
There is but ole thing upon which
tobase an opinion as to what is in
the wind. After their deliberations
they took carriages and went out
and took careful survey of Sharp's
Field. This gave birth to the opin-
ioa that probably the Sd Regiment,
(Which Col. Jouett Henry is the
eotlmandiug officer, when it goes
8into camp during the summer, may
use this as the place of encamp-
nent. AS to the probability of this
no one can tell.
1t might be good thing for the
s city if the encampment could be Sc
cured, and if our people would get
down to earnest endeavor, with the
influence of local officers, they might
be successful.
! The officers presspt at the meeting
were
Major Watkins, Surgeon Major, of
Owensboro.
M4or Walter Powers, Madison
siile.
Major G. Talbot Berry, Morgan
6eld.
Capt. Paul Price, darlington.
Capt. Ed. Walker, Henderson.
Capt. Frank Rash, Adjutant Sd
ment, Darlington.
Lieut.. Shanks, jacksonville.
Lieutenants Long and Rogers,
Darlington.
Lieutenant Parish, jacksonville.
The local officers who met the Wis
itars were;
Col. Jouett Henry, Major E. B.
Bassett, Capt. E. w. Clark, Capt.
