Co. F. 2nd INFANTRY, M.N.G.
Company Order No. 24

Departure Co. F will leave for the annual tour of field duty on the night train on the C., St. P. M. & O. Ry., leaving Worthington Wednesday, July 15-16, 1908, returning July 16th, 1908.

Equipment Each man will be provided by the Quartermaster with uniform, leggins, campaign hat, hat cord, 2 chambray shirts, rifle, bayonet, cartridge belt, canteen, haversack, shelter tent, half blanket, roll straps, blanket and rubber poncho.

Each man should provide himself with 2 white collars, handkerchiefs, toothbrush, soap, towel, comb, needle and thread, extra stockings and underwear. All other baggage is prohibited.

The blue uniform shall be turned into the Quartermaster at once to be packed for shipment.

Duty Company F has by its two years service in the Third Regiment attained a high standard of excellence, and holds an enviable position in the esteem of the officers and men of the guard, and it is the earnest desire of the commanding officer, and should be of every man that, upon this our first tour of duty with the Second Regiment, that standard and position shall be advanced in every department that makes for an efficient fighting organization, especially as regards attendance, marksmanship, and soldierly conduct.

Attendance Orders for camp duty originate with the Commander-in-cheif (sic) and company commanders have no authority to grant furloughs or leaves of absence from that duty. However application for such leave, stating the reason, if any, may be made in writing to the company commander and the same will be forwarded by him through channels, with or without his approval, as the reason stated may seem to warrant.

There are now pending several applications for enlistment and failure to attend the encampment or to make seasonable application as stated will be deemed sufficient ground to discharge the delinquent, especially if his place and equipment be required for the accommodation of recruits, or his record is unsatisfactory.

There are many men in the ranks as capable and worthy of holding warrants as those who now wear the stripes, and it is manifestly unjust that such should attend camp with the rank and pay of privates when their superiors are delinquent. Accordingly notice is given that all non-commissioned officers should attend the full period or resign their offices.

If for any reason a man can attend but five days, he should go the first five if possible and make his application for furlough while in camp.

Marksmanship Much attention is now being given to marksmanship throughout the Union, and Congress has equipped the entire Guard with the new Springfield rifle, the best military arm in the world. Many inducements in the way of medals, decorations, competitions and privileges are offered to enlisted men to perfe[c]t themselves in this regard.

Soldierly Conduct However much the company commander desires a full attendance at camp, yet he prefers to dispense with the presence of any man who does not resolve, and in that resolution persist that during this duty he will faithfully apply himself to the duties of a soldier, and will ever regard the soldier's motto; "OBEY FIRST, COMPLAIN LATER."

Special drills will be held July 13, 14 and 15, in preparation, and should be attended by all, especially the new men.

Let each man retain and refer to this order in procuring his equipment.

Co. F. took the 1:10 train Wednesday night for their annual tour of ten days camp and field duty at Camp Lakeview, Lake City, Minn.

Smith expects ten more Saturday night. The rifle enthusiasts in the company believe that with the recent addition of David Fauskee, Claude Johnson and others to the team that won the indoor championship of the state last winter that they have a fighting chance for the regimental trophy now held by Co.

PIONEER LAID TO REST
Charles Wilkinson Succumbed to Pneumonia last Friday

On Saturday morning occurred the death of Charles Wilkinson at his residence near the fair grounds, death being due to pneumonia. In his demise Nobles county loses one of its pioneers, a noble man and a worthy citizen.

Charles Wilkinson was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, near Zanesville, on the tenth day of July, 1836. His boyhood was spent in the same community. Early in life he married and was for several years engaged in railroad contracting and bridge building in Ohio. In 1872 he removed to Minnesota, coming direct to Nobles county, where he settled on a claim in Seward township, where he resided until a few years ago, when he came to Worthington.

Mr. Wilkinson served in the war of the rebellion as a private in the 195th O.V.I. [Ohio Volunteer Infantry??], and at the time of his death he was a member of the G.A.R. Post of this city.

Mr. Wilkinson had not been in the best of health for some time and on June 24th he was stricken suddenly while at the dinner table and was compelled to take to his bed. All that loving hands and medical skill could accomplish was done but to no avail and on Saturday, surrounded by sorrowing relatives he breathed his last.

The funeral services were conducted under the auspices of the G.A.R., Rev. Cahoon delivering the address.

Besides his wife he leaves to mourn his loss five children, one child, Charles, having preceded him to the grave. The surviving children are: James Ernest Wilkinson, Mrs. Richard Darlington and Mrs. Fred Dahlheim, of Worthington, Mrs. Albert Little who resides on the original Wilkinson homestead, nine miles north of Worthington, and Mrs. William Geswender, Spokane, Wash. All the surviving members of the family were present at the last sad rites, except Mr. Geswender, who was unable to attend. The sympathy of the community is extended to the sorrowing family so bereft of a tender husband and loving father.

On Monday a photograph was taken of Oscar F. Blood, Mrs. A. Blood, Mrs. A.A. Jones and Miss Hattie Blood. To the casual reader this simple announcement does not have much significance, but when it is known that those who posed for the photograph represent four generations of one family and the oldest child of each generation, it becomes a matter of interest. That is exactly what this particular photo means. Mrs. A.A. Blood of Morningside, Sioux City, Iowa, is the mother of Mr. Oscar F. Blood and Mrs. A.A. Jones is his grandmother; Miss Hattie Blood is his eldest daughter. The family is quite proud of the distinction which they enjoy and the photo will doubtless be greatly prized by present and future generations.

QUIET WEDDING
Wags Spoil Plans of Chas. Pannell By Advertising

Last Thursday night at 10 o'clock at the home of the groom's parents in this city occurred the marriage of Charles M. Pannell, formerly of Worthington, but who of late years has been making his home te [at?] Drinkwater, Saskatchewan, Canada, and Miss Mabel F. Anderson, of Org. The ceremony was performed by Rev. William Fletcher, pastor of the Congregational church, in the presence of the immediate relatives of the contracting parties.

The groom is well and favorably known in this city where he grew to manhood. A few years ago he went to Saskatchewan, where he engaged in business and has prospered. The bride is one of Worthington township's most estimable young ladies whom we regret to lose.

The marriage took on the nature of an informal affair, if such a term may be applied to a wedding, but the groom was the recipient of an urgent message recalling him to Drinkwater, and so decided to take his bride with him at this time. After the ceremony a bountiful wedding supper was served and the young couple left on the two o'clock train for their Canadian home.

An amusing feature of the wedding and one that upset the plans of the young couple for a quite [quiet] marriage, was the posting of large placards bearing the inscription:

This placard placed in conspicuous places by some wag served to notify their friends of their intention and shortly after the ceremony mysterious gatherings could be seen on the street corners and about eleven o'clock the crowd gathered in front of the residence and gave the happy couple a good old fashioned charivari, the instruments employed in creating the bedlam embracing every known noise-maker from dynamite cans to the vocal organs.

The young couple departed on the two o'clock train for their future home amidst showers of rice and congratulations of their friends. The Advance-Herald joins with the host of friends in wishing them a smooth and pleasant journey over the sea of matrimony.
