names of volunteers. and 1t was not
difficult work for the majority OF
them called on those who had the
lists and asked permission to put
their names down.
H. E. Meyers and DR.. F. H. Nero
have one list and F. E. Hall has an
other and on the two lists there are
more names than will be required,

will be allow to furnish twenty
five men.
Governor ClOugh has been Inter-
viewed by people from this city,
