the following are the proceedings OF Il
meeting held for the purpose of adopting
measures to raise the quota OF this township
under the last call. The meeting Monday
evening was well attended, but at the adjourn
ed meeting of Tuesday evening the number in
attendance was rather small, fact which we
hope does not warrant tue inference which
some are disposed to draw that our people do
not feel personally interested III the matter
Al are interested the time for action is lim-
ited-and to be effective there must be
united and earnest effort. The committee ap-
pointed will we presume al once enter upon
the discharge of their duty and tine success
Of their labors will depend entirely upon the
manner in which they are sustained by the
people Of the township and the liberaity with
which the call that will be made is responded
to. We do not deem i: necessary to enlarge
upon the matter-nO one will TAIL To see the
necessity of immediate action if anything is to
be effected. The resolutions adopted speak
for themselves Read them:
