Thy voice il heard thro' rolling drums.

station was temporarily in the COM

young fellows entered N expressed
their desires to enter the service as
private soldiers. Mr.. Afford asked
them their names. addresses. ages, etc,
and took down their replies for future
reference. They were duly informed
on all points concerning pay, rations,
clothing, etc. and seemed satisfied
with the situation.
"All right" remarked Mr.. Afford
finally. You men report here to-mor-
row night at $50 o'clock for instruc-
tons In drill. You will be assigned to
some company at that time"
