Sixty-one young men from Jeffer-
son county left Charles Town yester-
day evening for Camp Lee to 60 into
training for army service. II was the
largest contingent that has yet been
called, and was composed OF a line
body of young fellows. The men as
sembled at 2.30, when they were re-
ceived by Captain H. c. Cetzendanner,
chairman of the local board, and given
their instructions. Later in the after
noon the women of Charles Town en-
tertained them at a bountiful lunch in
the firemen's hall, treating them de-
lightfully, and the Red Cross presented
each man with a sweater and package
of useful articles. The boys appre-
ciated the kindness shown them, and
several asked us to publicly express
their thanks. At 6 o'clock the party,
headed by two bands, marched to the
B. & o. station, where an immense
crowd had assembled to see them oh.
The bands played spirited music con-
tinuously, but there was a sadness
among the friends and relatives that
could not be dispelled, and many tears
were shed. The boys who were to 90
were in fine spirits, however, and as
their train pulled out they cheered and
waved in lively style. A number OF
persons drove to Harper's Ferry in
automobiles to spend little more time
with them before they took troop traiE
for Washington later in the evening.
BY this time, doubtless, they are set
tied at Camp Lee.
Vim. E. Kearfott, of Kearneysville,
was in charge of the party, with the
following assistants: Earl G. Rocken-
baugh, fist assistant; Wardell Nc
Donald, second assistant; Oscar Lee
Hoffman, third assistant; Donald
Myers, fourth assistant; Brown l.. Ris-
sler, fifth assistant; Llewellyn Potts,
sixth assistant; Luther Snyder, sew
enth assistant Of the 81 men in this
contingent, two were volunteers, Vim.
E. Kearfott and Gilbert Lee Dodson.
Five men who had been in the call were
excused under new regulations; name
