NATIONAL RESERVE

Tli'a .B Company) 2nd Regiment, mustered in full force on Monday evening, and had. a particularly good hour and a half drill in the bright moonlight.The company was . jjut through numerous movements by its various officers, and the men responded, well, and evinced a keen and intelligent interest in the work. When this unit works itself up to the full strength of a .company, and •has the Kilbirnia Reserve to drill,on, there is no .doubt it: .will. acquit, itself, very creditably. Recruiting is to be> gone into systematically shortly, and the officer commanding hopes that it will not be long before there are 250 men on .the' strength. •' As- the riflo range is almost'completed, this should) add not only to the general interest of the members, but greatly to the efficiency of the company, as no trouble has -.been spared in the work put into the range,' and a plentiful supply of ammunition has been obtained.
