The Soldiers Came Home.

Company, M. arrived home Bunday, from their ten days camping and war maneuvering experience, in Kentucky. They came en the train due here at 3:30 p. m , but whioh did not arrive until 5 o'clock In spite of the long delay, however, a great crowd of people awaited their arrival at the depot, and gave them a hearty reception The new military band was present and preceeded the company in their march down t>wn and to their armory. ' The boys had a valuable and very interesting experience and one which they will derive great benefit from, and long hold in pleasant remembrance. They did their part well, too, and no militia company was more highly commended. The boys were well fed and well lodged too, and not overworked in the way of drills, In faot the ordinary wearisome company drills were not a feature, the three big war maneuvers being about all they tad in that line.
