Men Who Have Enlisted.

ans, the invitation is to be extended t.
you as an official mark of Barres prid
in the solemn sacrifices you have mad
; in sending young men of your kin to TIL
colors. At the regular meeting of th'
council last evening, Mayor Glysson wal
authorized to appoint committee o
men to solicit automobiles and to make
other arrangements for an excursion tc
the military post Sunday, July Is. Will
the cooperation of Capt. G.. n Barber ot
the Headquarters company, everything
will be provided for the entertainment
of Barre visitors on that day and it is
the prime purpose of the council to fur.
nish an opportunity to visit the Barre
boys at no expense to the families rep
resented by young men now in the state
National Guard.
1t is an enterprise which will enlist
local citizens who are not officially con-
nected with the city government, mas
much as large number OF automobiles
will be required, but in a more limited
sense it will be an official farewell to the
boys who may be leaving soon for other
training camps and thence to the front
to do their part in writing the history of
America and the great war. Alderman
Milne took the initiative in the move,
the council fell in with the plan and be-
fore the subject was temporarily dropped,
Mayor Glysson had appointed Aldermen
Milne and Healy to act with him in CO.
operating with committee that is to in
clude citizens outside the council. Al
derman Milne said he had talked with
many people who have boys at the fort
and with the enlisted men, all having ex-
pressed a keen desire to assist in making
the excursion and farewell an event to
be remembered. The member from ward
| also quoted Capt. Barber as saying
that two days notice would be suffi
eient for him to arrange for rations and
the services of the regimental band.
More about the big excursion will fol-
low in the days to come. Mayor Glysson
is to announce the remainder of his COM
mittee appointments at once, the city
council will lend an official tinge to the
farewell by making the trip in a body,
and the Barre Board of Trade, according
to Alderman Milne, has indicated its pur-
pose to cooperate with the council an
eminently fitting move for the reason
that the Board of Trade was continually
active in recruiting two companies of
Barre boys now with the colors.
Few other matters of moment were be-
fore the council for consideration. Elder
Albert NJ. Gish OF the Mormon church
appeared with request that the permit
allowing the Latter Day Saints to preach
their gospel in the public highway be re- |
newed. Alderman Reynolds moved that
the request be granted and Alderman
Rossi appeared in the council chamber in |

gestions made by Aldermen Hesly and |
Milne the request was laid on the table |
for a week Even If the agitation /
aroused by the Mormon petition a year /
ago is to be revived, there will be moth
ing doing until next week Tuesday night.
