TO BE REGRETTED.

1t there is anything of which Covington
should be proud it is it's women proud of
their energy, proud of their public spirit,
proud of their loyalty to the town and their
untlrlng devotion to any undertaking in it's
interest. In any movement requiring the
raising of funds or the instilling of public
sentiment and enthusiasm the aid of the
women has been an imperative prerequisite
to success and they have answered every
call for aid without delay or hesitation. 1t
IS therefore with regret that we note the
disafection that has caused the withdrawal
OF the Ladies Auxiliary to the Troop C, First
Squadron, L. S. N G. The ladies of this
organization are among the most earnest
and devoted workers of the town, and their
assistance has greatly aided in the main
tenance and upbuilding of our cavalry COM
pany, which has been source of pride to
Covington, as we'll as school of discipline
for the young men in it's ranks. The neces-
sity for the withdrawal of the support of
the Auxiliary is deplorable and cannot but
be hurtful to the interest of the Troop.
