EnIistments Too Slow

Jackson, November 10.-Company
X, of the Third Infantry, with
fifty-two officers and men who made
headquarters at the armory in this
city all last week were recalled to
Fort Smelling Sunday morning. The
company was in charge of Captain
]. B. Cannon and was sent out for
the purpose Of securing new re-
cruits for the army. The soldier
boys deported themselves with
credit during their visit in our city
and on last Friday evening put on
a free dance in the armory which
was quite literally attended. An or
chestra came down from the fort
and furnished the music. From what
the Pilot can learn the company
was not very fortunate in securing
enlistments from this city, in fac
the glitter of gold braid is no way
appealed to our local sons. Any
way. it afforded the soldier boys a
pleasant outing even though it did
cost the government a liberal
amount Of cold cash to finance the
expedition.
