MORE FOR THE LIBERTY ARMY.

AS early as O'Clock last Saturday
morning the shrill bugle call permeated
the homes of our city for the purpose
of ralliyng our citizens for another trip
to Dodgewille to bid farewell and God
speed To the additional forty young men
from this county who were summoned
to Camp Grant to join the great liberty
army by the way, largest army of in
telligence and patriotism in the history
of the world.
A goodly number responded to the
call, but the weather was decidedly
chilly and no doubt kept some from
rallying. The band and fife and drum
corps Were out for the trip. making it
in all a splendid crowd, one which ne
cessitated many automobiles to convey
them to the county seat, from where
the train left at $50 Our city's dele
cation got there in ample time to par
ticipate in the parade to the depot,
helping materially in the impressiveness
of the occasion.
The names of those leaving for camp
on this call were given in this paper
