During the week several men
from our neighboring towns were
here representing militia companies
having come here to notify some
of their members and enlist others
in answer to the calls that may be
sent out in consequence of the
Mexican situation. 1t would seem
to us that these towns might be
patriotic enough to acquire their
necessary number fom their own
community. Quite number of our
young men who had previously
joined these organizations were
callrd upon and had to go to their
dnty. Their is considerable talk
among the boys here to orgnize a
volunteer company should a call
for volunteers be issued.
