Editor Banner:
1 thought 1 would drop you a few
lines in regard to the boys on the
border. Our Company has had some
practice with rifles on the range. We
went down to the range by squads
and there was great contest be-
tween squads, but the sixth squad
won out by majority of SO points,
it being in charge of Corp. Porter.
The squad is better known as the
Midget Squad" The boys are max
ing out all right, and are expecting
to leave Eagle Pass soon; the Fourth
Maryland was ordered back to Lau-
rel yesterday, and they all seem to
be delighted at the prospect of be-
ing back in dear old Maryland once
more.
We had a great Brigade Review
parade and the boys surely did make
a good showing, and 1t was pretty
sight to look at, for there are about
1000 men, all equipped in heavy
time. l know the boys in our Com
pany will be good irrigation farmers
by the time they get home, for some
of them have planted cotton seed
around their tents and it is growing
real fast.
The boys send their best wishes,
and want the people of Cambridge to
know that they appreciate the kind
ness which has been shown to them
and their families since they have
been on the border.

Homer A. Rodeheaver, who was to
have conducted the service at the
tabernacle last night, but was kept
from making train connections on &C
count of a blowout in the machine
in which he was riding, will be in
Cambridge this evening, in time to
open the song service, which starts
at 100 o'clock. Governor Harring-
ton received a telephone message
last night, in which Mr.. Rodeheaver
stated that he was in Baltimo more, and
would come to Cambridge today.
Governor Harrington and Mr.. T.
Sangston Insley, teacher of the Ba-
raca Glass, will go to Hurlock in the
A. train, and bring "Rody" at once
to Cambridge, and it is expected that
Billy Sundays song bird and must
clan will be in this city by o'clock.
This trip will be more satisfactory
than if he had come last night from
Philadelphia. Had he arrived last
night on the train it would have been
nearly nine o'clock before he could
get supper and dress for the service.
Coming from Baltimore, he will get
in Cambridge in time to open the
service at the tabernacle, and will
conduct the song service just like he
has been doing at Ocean Grove, at
the large campmeeting presided over
by Sunday.
When it was rumored about town
yesterday that Rodeheaver was COM
ing last night, washes went out on
the line faster than they have for
sometime, and all visions of a"blue"
Monday were dispelled. In the af-
ternoon, when 1t was necessary to
announce to the public that "Rody"
was detained, it is useless to say that
there was much disappointment in
Cambridge and throughout the coun-
ty. In order that no one might be
misled, ushers were placed at the
doors of the tabernacle to inform the
people that Mr.. Rodeheaver Would
not sing last night. Notwithstanding
this fact, there was large audience
present, land everyone went away
feeling benefited after having heard
the splendid selections by the Berge
sisters, and convincing sermon by
DR.. Mckinney.
