BACK IN 1861.

c. w. Hill was at the court house
Wednesday morning mingling with
the young men that were called in
for examination for the war. Mr. Hill
remarked that when his company
took their physical examination for
the civil war that it was made in a
flash. The mastering officer simply
ordered them to open ranks and
passed by each man, and looked him
over. In the company only one man,
James A. WATSON, of Panora, was re-
jected. The whole company was eX
amined in about an hour. 1t was on
July 5, 1861 that this company of
soldiers left Guthrie Center for Coun-
Gil Bluffs where they were mustered
into the United States service. Patrio-
tic farmers in the county came with
lumber wagons to haul the soldiers to
the Bluffs. There were no spring
seats, just board thrown across the
wagon bed. The first night they
camped at Extra. They had no blan-
kets or equipment but they were nice
ly taken care of by the citizens of
Extra and along the way. The second
night they camped near Lewis and
the third they made it into Council
Bluffs. Just before the company
started from Guthrie Center Mrs.
George W. Harlan, whose husband
and brother-in-law were in the COM
pany, made a splendid speech and
presented the departing soldiers with
flag which was carried through the
war, and is now in possession of Mr..
| Hill and is most priced by him. When
the soldiers reached the brow of the
hill at what is now the William
Banks farm, the soldiers got down
| from their seats and formed a line
facing Guthrie Center, waved the
grand old flag and took what many of
the soldiers felt might be their last
look at Guthrie Center, but fortunate
ly nearly all were permitted to return
at the end of the war.-Guthrian.

Dog days are hard days for the

the harvest work heavy and his feed
is therefore cut down. Too often the
colt does not receive the increase in
grain he should have to make up
for the milk he is deprived of. Some
times, too. scours result because the
milk is too warm when he does get
it. To keep the colt growing nicely
he should have what corn and oats
he will clean up three times day
