LOCAL UNIT OFFERED STATE

While the local militia now has' an enrollment of about sixty-five, only half of this number was out for drill Sunday afternoon. Those present were given two hours of instruction and drilling by Instructor J. M. Sauser and Captain Leopold, and the same was quite interesting to. all, who entered into the work with vim and determination to succeed. The company has been formally tendered to the state and will probably be accepted in a few days. All members are urged to come out to the next drill at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon.
