funds" The one given to the Boone
company amounted to about $50 apiece
for the 90 boys from Jefferson. A1'er

and sent its members into dozen
other commands. At the time OF It's
disintegration the mess fund, was
divided up" and the Jefferson boys
received exactly $3.50 apiece. The peo-
pie of Jefferson. who contributed so
literally to this fund, can not view TINS

II the money had originally been
divided among the boys from Jetfer-
