GUARD BATTALION COMPLETED

Fourth Company for Jasper County Organized Sunday. The organization of the “Fourth Provisional Company, Jasper County Liberty Guard,” was completed Sunday by the election of officers. The new company completes the formation of a battalion for Jasper county, putting us “over the top’’ in things military as well as in other war activities. The new company starts out with about sixty members and bids fair to keep pace with the three companies previously organized. The following officers were elected: Captain, Max Kepner; first lieutenant, Rex D. Warner; second lieutenant, Lesley Miller. J. M. Sauser, county organizer, whose efforts made possible the new company, was unanimously chosen drillmaster, and Friday evening of each week at 8 o’clock designated for the regular drill. ■ >
