The last drill .before the annual in spection was held on Friday, March 17th, most of the time being wpent In prepn ration for this inspection which was held on- the following Monday. Oapt. McLeod, due to an injury, was Nimble to attend the Friday night drill This forced a lot of Work on the remaining officers who thought the Captain would be unable to be present on Monday. But fortunately Capt. McLeod was aWe to attend In spection and supervise certain work that only he was familiar with. The inspection was a great success. Only two of our regular members be ing absent. The entire Company joins in congratulating Sergeant "Whit" Le noir who has Just been married and therefore, was not able to have been present. The other absent one will not be so fortunate as Sergeant Lenoir In having a beloved wife as a reward but rather will suffer the (penalty of the law If some valid, excuse is not forth coming. The Company was indeed fortunate 1n having had Adj. Gei\eral Grant, Major B F Ristine, U S A and Major G W Glenn, U8DPO of 8 O N G, lis inspecting officers. We surely miss a number of ex perienced members whose terms of en listment have expired. But the in* spection showed that our new men j are &>ing to make "regular ole Ker I shaw Guard" stuff. Cor.
