two regiments of infantry come in
to camp next Monday everything
will be in readiness for them to

is the last time that both regiments
were in camp at Augusta at The saline
time

tor general of rifle practice who will In
struct all enlisted men who have not

interest of the tour of duty, one OF
which will be that all drills Will occur
