--We are informed, says the LaGrange (Ga.) Reporter, that the ladies of
LaGrange, to the number of about forty, organized themselves, on Saturday last, into a military corps for the purpose of drilling and target practice.
They elected
Dr. A. C. Ware as their
Captain; and, we believe, resolved to meet every Saturday.
The following are the officers:
Dr. A. C. Ware,
Captain;
Mrs. Nannie Morgan,
First Lieutenant;
Mrs. Peter A. Heard,
Second Lieutenant;
Miss Aley Smith,
Third Lieutenant;
Miss Andelie Bull, First
Sergeant;
Miss Augusta Hill, Second
Sergeant;
Miss M. E. Colquitt, Third
Sergeant;
Miss Pack Beall, First Corporal;
Miss Lelia Pullen, Second Corporal;
Miss Sallie Bull, Third Corporal;
Miss Ella Key,
Treasurer.
The corps not having a name, and it being their determination to prepare to defend their homes, if necessary, as did
Nancy Hart of olden time, we have taken the liberty of calling them the ‘"
Nancy Harts,"’ until they shall adopt one.
We have no doubt they will prove as true as did
Nancy Hart if the emergency ever presents itself; and, therefore, we do not think a more appropriate name could be suggested.
The ‘"
Nancy Harts"’ of
LaGrange!
That's it, ladies.
