good work Is they carry the account Of our
proceedings here to every part Of the coun-
try. 1t is an enterprise that will bear re-
peating, wherever there are families of those
who are absent fighting the battles OF our
country. let me illustrate this by the an
ecdote Of the two farmers. A farmer met
neigh Dor one morning, and told him that be
had discovered new plan by which he
could fatten his hogs on saw-dus,. His
friend was anxious TO hear how this great
saving was accomplished. He told him to
just put little grain with the saw.dust. and
the more gram the better. So it is with the
donations-the more you have Of them the
better.
The women of our neighborbood contrib
uted to this enterprise. Even the little girls
and boys have taken stock in it; and you
see their contributions Of chickens and veg
e;ables in the train as i. paraded through
your streets to day. What contrast IN the
acts OF these women here, and the "ladies"
We hear Of 10 the South. They spit their
treason in the faces OF the Union soldiers.
while our women contribute delicacies and
eatables for the comfort of his family. But
this unholy rebellion is about TO be crushed
out. If it had not been for the sympathy
for it in the North. it would have been put
down long ago. Had il not been for the
action Of rebel sympathizers among US, the
late raids into Kentucky would never have
taken place. But thank God. the rebels
will never be able to cross the Ohio river.
We regret that the poor facilities afforded
our reporter, and the great annoyance OF the
crowd that packed the streets from side to
side, pevented him from securing the con-
Guiding sentences of Mr.. Cox's remarks. as
they were well timed, and made his the
speech of the day.
Representative Woodruff, Of franklin
township, was next called for, and respond
ed in very earnest and pointed manner,
showing that his heart as we'll as his head
was enlisted in the work Of aiding to sustain
the government, by lending substantial en-
enlargement to the soldiers who are fighting
its battles. He said:
Ladies and gentlemen: l would just as
much expected to have been thunderstruck
as 10 be called upon here to make a speech.
But when see the vast concourse Of people,
and recollect the occasion that has called US
together, / am treasured of our ultimate
success in prosecuting this war against reb
els. This demonstr alton here is worth more
than the mere value, in dollars and cents,
of the articles contained in these wagons.
The example that is set here is not confined
to our State; but it is extending all over the
loyal North, from the broad, sunny prairies
of the great State of Illinois, to the granite
hills of New Hampshire.
This is contribution by the many loyal
men and women of the county to sustain
and support the families Of the brave men
who have gone from among us. and are now
amid the sutferings of the camp, and the
dangers of the field, to insure our safety
here at home. The soldier came to the un-
Outstanding, when he went into the army,
chat we would take care of his family while
he was there taking care of the country
In this good work the farmers Of WAYNE
county have always been ready to engage,
and this demonstration here day shows
that they are ready yet. II is an evidence
to my mind that while the sun shines, they
will never be willing to see Indiana tackled
on to the tail Of the Southern Confederacy.
We have a few Of the rebels up here among
us it is true; but it is my opinion that if the
three great States of Ohio, Indiana and H.
they can never be put down. But We must
do our whole duty. l am willing to do
mine, and | am certain that the farmers of
Wayne county will ever stand ready to do
all that is in their power to promote the
comfort of the families of those who are
away in defense of our country, and main
tanning the honor and glory Of its flag.
