History of Morgan County
Continued from Page One

AS to the military history OF
Morgan county, not a great deal
can be said further than the will
ingness of her citizens to respond
to the call of the country in time
of war. No battles have been
fought on it's soil of any impor
lance. She furnished her full quo
ia during the Mexican war. Dur
ing the war of the rebellion al
most the entire male population
responded to the call OF the
Union, very few joining the con
federates. During the Spanish
American war the county helped
to maintain the record of the Ola
Volunteer State by furnishing
MANY more than her quota of vol
unteers, the number exceeding
two hundred.

COLORADO DAY AUG.
FoRTY-FIRsT ANNIVERSARY OF
ADMISSION TO UNION.
Governor, In Proclamation, Declares
II Should Be Observed as Most
Patriotic Day Of State.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Governor Gunter issued
the following Colorado Day proclama-
tion:
The State of Colorado by legisla-
tive enactment, having set apart Au-
gust the first of each year as public
holiday known as Colorado Day,
this forty-first anniversary of Colora'
dos admission to the Union of States,
should be observed as the most patri-
otic day in the history of the Cen
tennial State" Let US make 1t day
to pay tribute to the young men of
Colorado who on August 5th enter the
service of their country; as well as
the soldiers who saved the union In
1862 and those who in 1898 were the
first to unfurl the stars and stripes
upon a foreign shore that heralded
peace and freedom to the Philippines.
Now, Therefore, l, julius c. Gunter,
governor of the State of Colorado, be-
lieve it eminently proper that there
should be a gigantic military and pa
triotic parade to provide the one and
perhaps the last opportunity to look
upon Colorado's splendid young men,
as they pass in review, who have
answered the nations call and who
may soon see service on the battle
fronts across the sea; and, further,
respectfully urge our citizens to dis
play to the utmost degree possible the
national, state and allies flags.
In Witness Whereof, l have set my
hand and cause the great seal OF
state to be affixed, this twenty-fourth
day of July, nineteen hundred and
seventeen.
