Farewell to Guardsmen

The farewell reception rendered
the lIaclede guardsmen in the park
last Friday night was fitting to the
occasion and in keeping with the
spirit of the times. The address
by Rev. Robson was one of the
best ever heard here on any oc-
casion and should be words of in
spiration and guidance to the young
men who have taken upon. them
selves the task of defending the
flag in a foreign land.
The music by the l. o. O. F.
band of Linneus was good and
patriotic and there was plenty of
it. The Ladies Aid served ice
cream and cake and the soldier boys
were treated as many times as they
care to go to the table, and at the
close of the address they stood in
line and were given hearty hand
shake by several hundred. G. G.
Bigger was chairman and master
of ceremonies,
