Orders were issued by Capt.

Company A, First Independent
Battalion, Mississippi National
Guard this afternoon, fortidding
any member of the Hattiesburg mi
iitia from having their heads clip.
ped, or shaved, or from doing any.
thing which might tend to keep
them from serving in the national
guard.
Orders also have been given to
the various tonsoriaI artists of the
city, forbidding them from doing
anything to the men which might
assist them in escaping military
service. .frEf 5t1WH WFwly
II you are not naturally a baldhead,
and have taken the oath OF service in
the Mississippi National Guard, and
belong to the Hattiesburg company
Of that organization, and want to keep
from having TO go to Mexico in the
event the militia of the country is
called out, it won't do you a bit OF
good to go around to Capt Thomas L.
Cooper, the commanding officer, and
asked to be excused.
Because there's nothing doing.
The captain today told the young
men who are becoming a little bit
squeamish over their proposed pros
pective trip to the border, just what
is expected of them. He said that en-
listing in the national guard of ones
country is a serious proposition; that
militias are not formed just merely
TO give the young men nice little trips
to annual encampments during the
summer. There is a reason for es-
tablishing such military service, he
said, and it's about time some OF them
are waking up to the realization of
that fact.
It's likely to go pretty hard with
any of the future brigadier generals
and major generals who try to escape |

and shaved, and then trying to pass !
off as baldheaded men. |
The news that baldheads won't be en- |
listed in the regular army for Mexi- |
;an service spread throughout local !
military circles like wildfire, and |
some OF the militiamen at once made !
engagements with their BARRIERS for |

ing him GU. of the service of his
country at time when he may be |
needed, for all the money in 1atties-
