ST. HENRY SURE
IN IT YESTERDAY

The citizens of st. Henry, who had
charge of the patriotic exercises in this
city yesterday preceding the departure
of the selects for Camp Sherman, turned
out to man, judging from the crowd OF
people from that village. 1t was thought
the weather might dampen the ardor OF
the people, but weather seems to cut no
figure these days.
dFrom the time Rev. Dennis Schwe;t-
ger, of Burkettsville, delivered his fer
vent and patriotic invocation for divine
guidance and assistance in the conduct
of the war until the conclusion of DR..
Scihrack's s address, in which he particu-
larly praised American valor, there was
the closest attention to the messages
they camp to impart.
The people seem never to weary of
paying tribute to the boys going to the
front and yesterday was but repetition
of the exercises that have taken place
on every previous occasion.
At the conclusion of DR.. Schirack's s
address, three cheers for Old Glory and
the selects was given with will.
Comfort kits were present 10 the lads
by the ladies of st. Henry.
