Our @: ota Under The last Call.


If any pc rson wants to know what it is.
we ask why had you so little interest in the
matter that you would not 90 out to a pub
lie meeting last Saturday evening to learn.
Soa e way or other many people have set.
ted themselves down into the suicidal be-.
|ief that VIC are exempt, and they manifest
no further interest in the matter. From
t:at de'usop they viii soon awake to the
reality Of the case. Five hundred thous-
and more men have been called for. and am
pie time given to furnish them. II they
are not furnished voluntarily by tho 5th
day Of September, they will be furnished
compulsively on that day, or as soon thore
after as the drawing can be- done. Now
hadn't We better interest ourselves, and
know how we stand ID?
Other towns and cities are awake in the
matter. Other towns are at work. They
know, rs We ought to know that there is no
certainty that this is the last cali that will.
ke made--that if another call is made, it
viii be closer call than this, because the
number from among whom the selection is
to be made will be less, and they are awake
to these considerations. and getting every
man thai tits possible to reach credited to
their towns. St. Paul has already raised
$4,000. and already have their recruiting
Offices open, and have despatched their
agents south to look after their interests
Already they boast and with reason TOO
that that city will be the market for recruits
from oil parts of the s'n4e, e,tcio 'oW co from

St. Paul anil 1e credited to that cit>, and
when the draft is made. st. Paul will I've ex
cmpt, while it " i'll fall with terrible force on
such placos-as He'd Wing, where no care was
taken of their interest
Now is the time to got recruits. Recruits
will be had; # We do not get them they
will go from our own city, and from our
own county to St. Paul, and that city will
gst them.
There are many items that ought to be
attended to; one is, thcrc ale many names
on our enrolment list, OF persons notori
ously disqualified for military duty. that
ought to Be stricken of; for tho larger the
list. tho larger will be tn, number of mon
apportioned to US. It is plain then, that
We ought to purge our list Of al names that
only tend to'augment our quota. Lot US
take for instance the name Of our worthy
Post Master BY reason Of psrmanent
iameness he is totally disqualified for Scr
vice, yet his name a there. We nigh,
msption several others, but will only name
one. Tho name of Thomas Adams is on
tho list. yet At the time he was enrolled be
was suffering from = white swelling, from
the effects Of which hs has since been oblis.

is another matter that ought to bc attended
