Called Soon.
(From Mondays Daily

Battery c., Field Artillery, Missis-
sinpi National Guard, was given Fed
eral inspection Saturday night and the
officers will know by the middle of
this week whether the organization
will be accepted By the War Depart
ment. Virtually every enlisted man
was present for the inspection accord
ing to orders sent out earlier in the
week and the assembled number at the
Arr1ory proved that it takes a lot of
men to make a Battery.
Major Dalbey OF the Mississippi
National Guard represented the State
at the INSPECTION and CAPTAIN &. 5.
Blakely represented the Federal gov
eminent. Prior to the arrival of the
inspection officers at the Armory Cap
tain A. C. Nets, Of the Battery, made
the men a short talk relative to their
conduct during the inspection.
Captain Blakely picked several men
from each file to question, the line of
questions being as to education, health,
athletics, etc, after which he address,
ed general questions to each Tile He
wanted to know how many were col
tlege graduates, how many high school
graduates, how many could ride a
horse and knew how to attend to one,
how many could use the telegraph,
could drive and repair a a and how
many had dependent upon them-a
mother. wife or child, or a combina-
ton of three.
Apparently he was well LEASED with
the personel of the Battery and in a
short talk following inspection he al
luded to the fact hat Battery c II

states has always proven to be the
silk Stocking bunch." He congratu
lated the Battery upon it's general ap
~pearance. He stated that the organi
cation probably would be called to thu
|~colors very soon after being accept
ed by the War Department.
Major Dalbey addressed a few re
marks to the Battery relative to tn
conduct of a soldier and stressed obed
fence. He said that the salute between
private and officer was no more thai
right and was no Indication that tn
officer was superior to the private i
any way except as an officer. Salut
ing he declared, is the handshake o

Captain Blakely, who has charg

a reputation of being one of the hes

Itation that is hard to get and one to b
proud of. He is every inch a soldie

AS a result of trouble understood to
have been of long standing, a negro
mar named Jones lies at the point of
death with a knife wound just above
the heart and no possible chance of
recovery, and a negro woman, called
Lena, whose sirname is not known, is

a fight this morning just about eleven
o'clock. The scene of action was a
house in which the two negroes had
lived, located just back of the Green

The police department was immed'
lately notified but owing to the fact
that the city's automobile is in the
shop a quick response could not be
made. When the officers arrived the
woman had made good her escape out
Of town. The matter was turned ovel
