There is JOY among the troopers and

FAREWELL TO OFFICERS

A delightful Halloween party failed
to get proper mention in last weeks
Trench and Camp" 1t was given by
the boys of &C" Battery, One Hundred
and Eighth Artillery, serving as a
farewell to the old officers of the or
ganization. and welcome to the new.
The success of the evening was made
sure by the good eats that came from
the over of Dad" Tones, first cook.
Antique pumpkin heads, and black
Thomas cats were seen on the tables
and suspended from the rafters of the
mess hall. Electric lights were en-
sconced in these weird trimmings also.
Music, informal toasts from the.
officers, and impromptu stunts enter
tanned the boys until late hour.

the national colors and have caught the
spirit of the occasion, cheers and ap-
plause would have gone echoing across
the spacious drill field
But there was no Semblance OF excite
ment. TO the boys who have been work
ing day in and day out, participating
in one review after another, this occasion
meant only a review of extraordinary ex-
cellence. The great parade came to-. a
close just as dusk settled over the drill
field.
Guests of Colonel Richards,
Immediately following the review Gov
ernor and Mrs. Brumbaugh went to the
quarters of Colonel Richards, and there
met Mrs. Richards, as well as many of
the officers of the 112th Regiment, who
participated in the informal gathering.
TIL party then proceeded to Partridge
Inn, where the governor made his head
quarters during the brief stay in Augusta,
and during the evening he again told the
112th's commanding officer of the splendid
impression the regiment had made in
the afternoons review There is no ques-
ton now, in the minds of the officers
of the 28th Division as well as the gov
ernor Of the state that when the 112th
days--it is going to keep on making
record such as it has been doing for a
good many years.
Right here it is worth while noting that
this record is due in no small part to
the answering interest and manifest ac-
tivity on the part of its colonel. who,
though still young man, has been In
the military game for more than forty
Enlisted in 1876.
Colonel Richards first enlisted with the
Venango Grays, later known as Company
F. 18th Pa. Inf. of Franklin, on July 8,
1876, and his promotions from then on
were rapid. In February 1885,. he was
made corporal and a year and half
later became first sergent. On July II.
1888, he becme captain of the company,
after raDid promotion from the ranks to
second and then first lieutenant. AS lieu
tenant colonel he served throughout the
Spanish American War. Since Decem-
Der o. 1902, he has been colonel, being
chosen by unanimous vote, and the posi-
ton he still retains.
Aside from being a student of military
matters and an officer who has few equals
in the field, Colonel Richards is a great
student of men, and ever has tn personal
welfare of his command at heart So 1t
is no wonder that. possessing all the
