~ Until the 'nineties there was no prescribed uniform for the State Militia, aka Carthage Light Guard, so each organization chose and paid for its own equipment, except the rifles which were furnished by the state of Missouri and were of the same pattern as the United States Army used.
~ The Carthage Light Guard uniform was of cadet gray and the company presented a neat appearance. Captain Garrison was a good drill master and the company attained a high state of proficiency under his captaincy.
~ Back on July 6, 1876, a beautiful silk flag was presented to the Light Guard by the citizens of Carthage. A.L. Thomas making the presentation speech. The company gave an annual military ball on the 22nd of February and it was always the social event of the year.

One chilly and rainy night at Lexington, Kentucky, while officer of the day, Captain McMillan caught cold in his eyes.

~ A Big Spider.
In the east show window of McMillan & Durham's store is a huge, hairy, red tarantula, a wicked looking old fellow. Lee Durham brought it in this morning from the McNerney quarry north of town, where it was captured by Tom Gatlin.
It was no easy matter to get this spry and poisonous old fellow. Tom picked him up on a shovel and kept him there with a heavy stick. Lee got an old can with the lid half open, and with sticks they pushed the spider into the can. In pulling the stick out the spider clung to it. Lee pushed him back with a cob and snapped the lid shut at the same
time. (date unknown)

CHRISTMAS TREE A FEATURE.
A feature of last night's meeting of the Matrimonial club at the home of Capt. and Mrs. John McMillan on South Main street, was a Christmas tree, on which each of the fourteen members was given seven presents, a total of 98 gifts.
The tree was a pretty little evergreen attractively decorated and illuminated in approved Christmas fashion. It was unveiled at the conclusion of the dinner, which was served at 7 o'clock, and Lawrence McMillan was unanimously choosen Santa Claus.
The members were lined up about the room, and as a present for each was announced the recipient was required to advance to the center, unwrap the gift, exhibit it to the appreciative assembly and read the inscription upon it.
Lots of fun was occasioned by the distribution, and the Christmas tree is assured for an annual holiday feature hereafter. (date unknown)
