Local Company Issued Some New Clothing For Members.

Company M was issued some new clothing by the government this morning and it is being distributed among the members, who as yet are in need of clothing. However, that which has been sent will not prove to be anyways near sufficient and as a consequence, there will be men of the local company who will have to leave this city in civilian clothes Monday morning. Underwear and shirts and shoes, and a few blouses were received by Captain Garland this morning. No hats, trousers or leggings were sent and these will have to be provided by the government after the arrival at Fort Harrison. , , The non-arrival of enough clothing to provide all the members of the company has caused very keen disappointment, as the soldier lads were very anxious to look spick and span tomorrow, when they are to be honored by the citizens.
