The company, which is made up of the pick of the young men of Lebanon and Conway, met in the respective towns last Friday and elected its commissioned officers as follows: Captain--C. R. Vernon, Lebanon First lieutenant--Dave Schmalhorst, Conway Second lieutenant--D. M. Martin, Lebanon. The muster roll of the company has been sent to Adjutant-General Bell, and the boys are confident of being called out as soon as the official call for 75,000 volunteers is made. Messrs. Vernon and M artin are well known in Lebanon as the right kind of men for their respective positions. Mr. Schmalhorst is one of Conway’s leading young business men, a recent graduate of our best military colleges, and well versed in the latest tactics and military science. Altogether, the company is one of which both towns may well be proud, and if commissioned will render a good account of itself in the duties of a soldier’s life. Following are the names on the roll of the company, to date: LEBANON. Oscar Wester Floyd Steele J. M. Pond Charles Murrell Walter Teague Whitley Northrip George Campbell J. P.
