OUR SOLDIER BOYS

The 31st Michigan Expect to Go to Cuba About Dec.1.

The 31st Michigan are rejoicing at the prospects of going to Cuba. Lieut. - Col. Shubel thinks they will leave about Dec. 1. The men are not particularly sorry that their opportunity of visiting Atlanta has been cut off, as the reports of musty buildings, red clay, and inhospitable inhabitants have not created a very good impression of the city among the soldier boys. Most of the men like the idea of a southern trip, and are perfectly willing to spend the winter in Cuba. A change of climate will, be a great relief, as it is getting too cold in Knoxville for comfort.

The Krag-Jorgensen rifles were received Saturday and the men were delighted to exchange their old Springfield rifles for them.
