At about the ninth hour oe Thursday evening last the Edge field Rifles and a number of iuvi ted friends assembled in the ar mory, where . they passed several hours mostdelightfully.Capt. Col lett formed his company and drilled hi9 men for a ?hort while, in order for the visitors to' see 'hat progress they are making in military affairs. The veiy excel lent manner in which the mem bers of the company drilled was indeed a surprise to all who wit nessed them. A surprise, because a very large per cent of the men were a few short months ago the orudest and most inexperienced material, from a military, itand poiut, that it is possible to find. They are, however, well officered, and if the men in the ranks will take as great interest and pride in the company as those who sh apo and direct its affairs, the Eden field Rifles will before many months be one of the leading mi litia companies in the state. Something more than a drill was provided for the pleasure and en tertainment of the guests - on Thursday evening. A princely oys er supper was provided by the p.oldier ?J boys. Both etewed and fried oyeters, with olives,sau ces, pickles and coffee were de lightfully sarved iu great abun dance. The supply appeared to be equal to the demands of a regi ment, while but little more than one company was present. Soon after the supper the fragrant fumes of fine cigars filled the ball. The cigars, like the other good things of the evening, were also supplied from the treasury of the company. Long live the Edgefield Rifles ,r A Core For Misery.
