The squad that departed to-day was under
command of Recruit Harry Hilibush
The total number sent away during the
four days the recruiting has been in progress
here is 1870. Lieut. Sviter, the recruiting
officer says that Shenandoah and ShamOkin
are about alike in the display Of patriotism,
but he thinks that should he remain here
this town would excel the other town in the
number Of recruits.
1t is not unlikely that the squad that left
to-day will be the last to leave this town.
Lieut.. Siviter hourly expects telegram from
headquarters notifying him to stop recru
ing. He will continue receiving applications
however, and send away recruits every day
untl the Omclal notification arrives. He
expects to be cut off because he knows that
he has recruited more than enough men to
fill the 2lst Infantry. He has sent out over
four hundred men. All the men he
enlists and sends away before the official
notification arrives will be attached to the
regiment. All sworn in, but who do not get
away before the telegram is received, will be
relieved and must stay at home. This after
noon several men hurried to the headquarters
to get in before the shutdown and there will
no doubt be a number ON hand early Monday
morning
Lieut.. Siviter and Corporal Clegg were in
yited to the meeting room of Watkin Waters
Post No. l46, G. A. R., last night after the
Post concluded its routine business. After
an exchange Of greetings the Post members
took the recruiting officers to Breens cafe,
where couple of hours were spent very en-
jOyably.
