Inspection of Company B, L.N.G., will be made by Lieutenant Taylor
The quarterly muster and inspection of Company B, L.N.G., will be held at the armory over the First National Bank tomorrow night. Lieutenant Taylor of Troop B, First Cavalry of Jennings, will be inspecting officer. Captain Ben Edmundson requests that all members of the company attend the muster as it is probable steps will be taken to recruit the organization up to its full strength.
When Company B returned from the Mexican border last fall many members asked for and were granted their discharge. Since then little has been done in the way of recruiting and the roll has fallen below the number required for the maintenance of a company. To get the company back to the strength it had before the call to service last summer will be the effort of the officers, as unless this done the company may be disbanded.
