The soldiers went through the drill in good shape.The company expects to he notified of the National guard general inspection at almost any time and will drill for it on Tuesday and Friday nights of each week.There is widespread dissatisfaction in the company over tho attempt that is reported to have been undertaken by Col Falk and Adjt.

They feel that if tho now plan is carried out too much will be required of them for tho returns they receive for the attention that it will bo necessary to give to their military affairs.
