Local Militia Company Made Fine Appearance In New Uniforms.

A consignment of new uniforms was received by the local militia company last week and the men wore them at the Wednesday night drill for the first time. They consist of coats, breeches, shirts and caps, all of olive drab, and the new canvas puttee leggins. There have been an even dozen enlistments in the company during the month and it is expected to take in about a dozen - more. The enlisting officer will be glad to talk young men who will attend drills reg-‘ ularly and take an interest in the affairs of the company.
