COMPANY Fl left last Friday morning for
Camp Olympia amid scenes of enthusiasm
such as have seldom been witnessed in this
city. Business was generally suspended,
shops, stores and places of business were
closed and thousands of people lined the
flag bedecked streets through which the
company marched to the station. The
Montpelier Military Band led the parade
and the members Of Brooks Post, G. A. R.,
followed by seventy honorary and former
members of the company did escort duty.
Before the boys left the armory Mayor Senter
and Gen. Stephen Thomas briefly addressed
them, and the regimental flag was given
into their keeping by order Of Colonel
Clark. Many fearful eyes were seen in the
crowd that surged around the station be-
fore the train pulled out, but every mother,
wife, sister and sweetheart felt proud OF
their loved ones, glad to send them forth in
the service of their country, feeling sure
that they would bring no discredit to the
city Of their birth.
