the banquet. General Sanger announces that

dances, coon hunts, possum hunts. fox
drives and many other amusements in
which the soldiers are cordially asked to
join. The outlook is pleasant in every way.

in the answer of the state executive. Many
companies are arranging with the ladies of
their home towns for bed ticks. Company n.
of Logansport, is fitted out, as are the boys
