Director ArriUes To Take
 Charge of Regin1entaL Band

Below appear the names of those who enlisted in the National Guard, band section, of Lee county. We feel sure that the people of Lee county appreciate the high patriotic motive that moved these splendid young men to enlist in the National Guard.
 It is a well known fact that mili- tary training Is great benefit to young men. The old veterans of the Civil War, both Union and Con- federate, will testify to the advan- tages and benefits they derived from military training.
 The citizens of Lee county are to be congratulated on the forma- ton of three units of the National Guard in Lee county. For a week or more past those interested have been trying to enlist young men in the National Guard who should form the Regimental Band of the 5th Arkansas National Guard. Major Robertson received word that Major E. L. Carr, of the 38th Infantry, would be here on Friday, June 24, to inspect the band. The committee got busy and by 10 o'clock that night the 20 young men whose names appear below had enlisted in the National Guard for the purpose of forming the Regimental Band.
 The members of the band are: Cecil Floyd Billingsley, Henry T. Cahoon, Lon D. Cross, James B. Dickey, Alvin k. Goodwin, Hugh Cecil Gray, Robert E. Hale, Charles Harp, Albert Holland, William W. Humphreys, Walter Johnston, Jr., Ira L. Keasler, Asa L. Lsnham, Oliv- CT Bettis Lloyd, Frank E. Lyle, Robert P. Mills, William Pefsley Owen, Ben Page, Larimore Robin son, Addison Lee Wall, William L. Willis, ". B. Word.
 The band is composed of the very best, brightest and most splendid young men of the county and when in a few months they have learned their notes and are able to play Dixie" and "The Girl I Left Be- hind Me-" the citizens of Marianna will rejoice and be glad. The band, with its fine personnel, new uni- forms and instruments, will be the pride of the county and the citizens will get more pleasure and profit out of it than from any other one thing.
 The members of the band will draw from the government about one-fourth to one-third of the reg ular pay of musicians of the regu- lar army. The uniforms and in- struments will be furnished free by the government.
 In this connection we want to say that the citizens of Moro and Aubrey have done themselves proud in assisting in the organization of these military units, but we might say that this is the way they al ways do. The citizens of Moro seem to have the knack for getting behind and pushing through to sue cess every good movement for Lee county.
 It would be impossible to mention in this article all those who assisted in the organization of these military units but we will say all honor to the young men who enlisted and all homer also TO all of those who assisted in pertecting these or ganizations.
 Mir. Klinsg, an old army band di- rector, has been sent to Marianna to take charge of the musical or ganization here. Mir. Klinsg served ten years as band director in the regular army. During the past two years he has been with the Red path Warnock chautauqua company as cornet soloist. He was in Mari anna Wednesday and made the band boys a short talk regarding his plans. MT. Kinsg will join the band at Camp Pike where they will be is- .,,el tLa;, uniforms and anuinmant
