FAREWELL.
The Sixth REGIMENT Breaks Camp
and Leaves for Toledo,

dilu Leaves IUT IUltuO,
The last hours of the Sixth's stay in
Marietta were rendered unpleasant by
a drizzing fall of rain which Increased
to a steady unremitting downpour as
the time approached for their depart
ure. The Sixth virtually came, lived
and stayed under a rainy canopy oi
clouds for the past week. But they all
believe that every cloud has silver
lining" though some are rather du-
blous about the clouds that hang over
Marietta.
The usual morning drill was held
yesterday and after this was over
preparations for breaking up the camp
were began.
Shortly after noon, wagons loaded
with the companies baggage came
down to the yards, where one car had
been reserved for the storing of the
regiments effects. All afternoon the
boys were busy packing and did not
finish until the first division was ready
to depart. The tents, flooring and 9th
er camp fixtures will be packed up and
shipped later. A detail of men was
left here for that purpose and soon ev-
cry vistage OF the Sixth's stay here will
be removed.
Yesterday afternoon while party of
soldiers were coming down town on a
street car, one of their number, Robin
son Otis, of Co. l, was suddenly affect
ed with heart trouble. He was hur-
riedly acrried into the Union Depot
and laid upon the floor where Drs.
Waters, Chief of the Hospital Staff,
and o. M. Willis attended him. A hy-
perdermic injection was made and af-
ter a time the soldier recovered suf-
ficiently to be taken on the train.
Breakin gcamp was an interesting
spectacle. Two men were stationed at
cash tent and one looked after the
tent supports. At the bugle call the
tents fell almost simultaneously and
what had been miniature white city
wa slevelled to the ground
The soldiers, headed by their band,
marched down from the camp last eve
ming through the driving rain storm.
Several battalions were compelled to
wait outside the Union Depot sheds
while arrangements were being made
for their section. Yesterday gave them
touch of real campaigning weather
and to some Of the veterans brought to
mind the days spent in Cuba.
The trains were in three sections and
left at 600, 6:15 and $3.50.
Many affecting farewels were wit
messed by the reporter and the girls
seemed especially 10th to see the SOL
diers go. The driving rain prevented
many people from seeing the Sixth
leave, but there was nevertheless
quite crowd to wish the boys God
speed
The party of ladies who have been
the guests of the Sixth while here, left
yesterday on the 1925 train. Those
composing the party were Mrs. DR.
Sneider, Mrs. DR.. Watts and two child
rem, Mrs. Col. Stanberry, Miss And
rews, Mrs. Krealoh, Miss Edna Watts,
Mrs. Col Bryant and daughter, Mrs
Capt. Rydman and Mrs. Major How
ellis. The majority of the ladies are
from Toledo.
Gov. Nash and party left over the o.
& L. X. at 6:20 a. m. Wednesday morn
ing. They will go Oy way of Newark
and Canton.
The soldiers were just forming pleas
ant acquaintances in the city which
will be broken by the hasty departure
All MISUNDERSTANDING between the
soldiers and citizens have been cleared
up and it is only with feelings OF
kindness that they part. Marietta
wishes the boys of the Sixth success
honor and glory, whether it be on the
bloody field amid red scenes of car
mage, or in the peaceful walks of civil
life. The regiment as whole is
made up of gentlemen and is a credit
to the state
Mr., A. Fleming, A. r. Emery and H.
W. Yearick, representatives of the
Times, Blade and News. of Toledo, left
with the regiment These gentlemen
are hustling newspaper men and have
made many pleasant acquaintance
while in the city.
