KAPUNDA.
[From our own Correspondent]
September 9.
The weather is very changeable now ; we had hot winds yesterday, but today steady heavy soaking rains. I attended the general monthly meeting of the Kapunda Volunteers last Saturday, when the following resolutions were passed :
"That any one firing at the new target without first hoisting the danger flag be suspended from any firing whatever for two months."
" That any one who does not attend drill once a week shall not be allowed to practice firing for one week-either Government or private -and that all rules be strictly adhered to." The Captain announced that there would be a special meeting next Saturday to elect three corporals.
The Kapunda Mining Volunteers elected their officers last Saturday. The following were chosen :
Captain, W. Oldham, J.P. ;
First Lieutenant, T. F.Oldham ;
Second Lieutenant, W. C. Oldham ;
Sergeant-Major, W. Jeffs ;
Sergeant, J. Daly ;
Corporals, C. C. Oldham, and T. Liddy.
Present total number enrolled in the new company, 75.�/i�
