Mrs. Jenkins knew these women in

The newspapers we've largely respOn-

larly is this credit due to the pub

all individuals entrusted with share

This thing Of looking upon the
country publisher as an object OF
charity. and what patronage Is given
him as merely Ito help along Is anti

From the Eudora, (Ark.) IIerald.l
Official figures show that it cost
the Government $4,000, $50 to register
and enroll the army just drafted. The
Confederate Government enforced its
draft law at very little cost, and 1t
was simple: There was a provost
marshal in every city and town, and
conscript officer in every county tor

SCRIPT officer to round up every white
male Of the military age, and send
him to the provost marshal. who for

may be said of other BATTLES during
