Captain Herman B. Tuteur and his Lieutenants, Jerry B. Garland and Edward L. Watson, are making the weekly drills of Company M very interesting and instructive and Monday night had 39 men on the floor. ?our new enlistments were taken that evening, making ten during the past three weeks. The drills are of benefit and the instruction is also a good thing and worthy of the study of any young man. Plans are now being made for the federal inspection on March 15th and this inspection is the basis for the war department rating and Captain Tuteur would like to have sixty men on the floor at that time. The prospects of federal pay for the guardsmen is attracting a~ number of recruits. The non-commissioned staff of the company is working diligently for its success. The sergeants are Jay Nowels, Grant T. Wynegar, Ernest Moore, Emerson Coen and James Spate, the latter of Newland.
