There 10 no doubt whatever that q draft
will take place In September If our quota
IL not full at the time specified. Those
who read the dispatch published BY rs
yesterday morning from Provost Narshal
General Fry to Col: Ely must be fully con-
4yinsed. 1--we wish to avoid the draft, our
Supervisors must take prompt and careful
action in regard to this bounty question.
We hope that ct their meeting to-day they

thoss who enlisted during the period stated,
that the subject may be freed from avery

In connection with this subject We pub
liSb The following proceedings Of . meeting
recently held In Liberty township: "a ,
At meeting of the citizens of West
Liberty and vicinity, Robert White Fas
called to the Chair and John Il. Cooper
RGB appointed Secretary. -IlA5 i-Ea
The President stated that the object of
the meeting was 10 give an .eIPression in
regard to the late meeting Of the County
Supervisors In the. city Of W heeling. And
We, citizens Of Liberty township, feel a.
-suted that the county Of Ohio ean'increase
her bounty 70 the original allow anceS in
paying volunteers, and more If necesaary.
And being: assured that the Supervisors 4

Realised, That We instruct our Superb
sor, A. @. Boggs, at the next meeting OF
the Board Of Supervisors, TO vote and use
his influence for the increase Of the bounty
from a$1OO TO $500. s.a5 L..5 gII6
Retoieed, That this meeting feel assured
the Board Of Supervisors need not falter at
this time In Offering bountieB suffioientsto

RssoIVed, That the above be published in
the Wheeling LntslIgeneer.
- The above proceedings viii suggest to
the Supervisors another matter of impor-
lance. In view of the fact that some Of
the adjoining counties are offering $500
cash down for one years men It will be
almost impossible for us to obtain 9. suf-
Aeient number ofaFecruits to all ,our, quota
BY Offering one hundred dollars down and
twelve dollars 9 month for Onsyear'S men.
The fortunes of war are exceedingly I'M
certain and men who enlist to Eight for their
country want their bounty money in hand
that they may dispose of or invest it to suit
thsmsslyss..a The beat way 70 obtain re-
,cruitS, in our opinion, Is TO, do as was re.
