 Since January 1 new interest seems to have been enthused into the National Guard of this district Committees rep resenting Company c, Company and Company K of the Third regiment: Com pany B of the Second regiment, and Troop D and the battery of artillery organized the Jefferson County National Guard as- sociation for the purpose of creating en- thusias sm and interest in the local com panies.
 An association of this kind will be of great advantage to the National Guard, inasmuch as the association proposes to call a general muster of all the com panies, troops and batteries in the district once a month, and in this way create competitive drills between the companies, which can result in but one thing-that is, raise the standard of efficiency of each individual company. The first general muster to be held by the association is called for March 12..
