population Of the United States. and will
go just 50 far and do just as much for

terday was a sad day for many of our
people here, as the p. m. train carried
twenty-one Of our boys to Kingfsher
for examination in the crack infantry reg
l. boil
manded by George McCord Of Arizona
There was an immense crowd at the
depot to see the boys off. After a fine
talk by Hon. r. ]. oWmack, the people
babe the boys goodby. It is not to their
dlscredit or that of old soldiers to say
that tears were in the eyes Of both. Many
of the young men are the sons of old
soldiers. and are all young men of more
than ordinary ability, and from all ranks
in life, two attorneys being among the
number, besides painters, cerks and farm
er boys.
The following Is a list of tho twenty
men selected out Of sixty who offered
themselves: Charles DEAN, W. L. Hick-
