Captains Bard and Felmet of Ashe
Vile and Waynesvil1e were tied UP
by the storm and colonel Gardner
wired them to remain their discre.

Captain Bard will probably get more

The men have settled their hearts
down to a thirty-day postponement,
but If the brigade does not move then
there will be harmful disappointment.
| There are Twenty-Five states now rep

vile company; First Sergeant Griggs
of Shelby; Sergeant Plot Of Waynes-
Vile; Sergeant Holman of Mount Airy
company.
Brigadier General Young reiterated
former statements denying any orders
for moving troops, but at the same
time, he expressed firm conviction that
the North Carolina troops will see SER
vice on the border. In the meantime,
the forces are being equipped, rations
for thirty days camp are available,
as we'll as ten days transportation ra-
tions. Company drills are going along
vigorously where anti-typhOid and
smallpox vaccinations have not tenn
porarily put the men out of commits
