Excerpt from Johnsville in the Olden Time: Other Stories Militia trainings, in the days we write of, were in vogue throughout the country. Muster-day was a great institution - ou such occa sions all went to see the sogers. Ethiopia, in particular, was let loose. For months and days prior to muster, the, colored gentry through out the country were usually wide awake. All of them invariably had the promise of a look at the sogers, and the loan of a horse for that day, if they were good boys, and did up their work betimes. They therefore would, without exception, perform the various services re quired of them, at such times, with alarming dispatch - not forgetting to give the promised horse occasionally a sly mess of oats.
