made to raise the required numbe: o
volunteers, and to save Vniton county
from the disgrace Of a draft, In orde
to accomplish that object, we warned
our fellow citizens of their danger
We appealed tC their patriotism, ant
as an inducement to volunteers t
sever, at least for a time, the strong
ties that bound them to their wives
their children, and friends at home
and 90 forth at tho risL of theis lives
in defense Of our Common Country
and our dearest rights. We SOlemnIJ
and repeatedly pledged to those Vol
nnteers that their families should be
strictly cared for during their absence
and that we Who remained at home
wou d see that they did hot suffer fol
the necessaries and comforts Of life
Hundreds of brave and patriotic mel
believed and relied upol what we then
said, they took Us at our word, they
left their wives, their children, home
and friends, and are now upon the
tented felds, and Vinton county has
the honor and credit of having thus
far nobly responded to tho call of the
Government, and has been saved from
draft.
| am satisfied from what | see and
hear almost daily, that there are quite
a number of families of volunteers in
Vinton county, who are destitute Of
even the ntcessaries of life. There
are also a number Of widows of yOlun.
teers who have fallen in the great
struggle tor our national existcRce,
who have not received one dollar rom
the Government on account of arrears
of pay, bounty or pension, and who
are destitute.
Winter is near at hand, and | fear
unless our pledge is redeemed, unless
our liberal and patriotic citizens who
have the means, and who have been
permitted 10 remain at home and en-.
Joy the comforts incident thereto, see
to this matter in time, and where it is
needed, furnish provisions, fuel &c.
Many will experience actual suffering
and we shall be condemned, There
is no escape from this duty and this
and trust that our
citizens are willing to redeem those
pledges, and that they will not even
manifest negligence in so doing
Many OF them have already contribu.
ted literally and deserve credit,
among whom will name by way Of
an example to those who have not
given single dollar. DR.. McFadden,
Of New Plymouth, who is man Of
moderate means and who has already
contributed oVer. 1920 to volunteers
and their families.
Will not the Commissioners of
VintoD county borrow some money
ss they are authorized to do for this
humane purpose Z and if they will not,
would suggest that it would bo well
or the Military Committee CT our
county, who have thus far performed
heir duty energelicly, and to the en-
lire satisfaction Of all, to take this
natter in hand, and if they thought
advisable, appoint committee of one
