The Dsmooras got mild ''call down
tor intiDating that the ssnd-oH to b
given the men starting for Camp Deveu
90 Tuesday morning might have lss
exercise Of lung power than when Oh
arst call men left This want the oose
The schools saV to that.
Before it vas time for the train III
high school and the grammar school o
South Parie were on hand 1t the station
With their banners and their hagS an
for more than half an hour they ksp
things moving With songs and cheers
They cheered Zach one Of the men figh
down through the lisf. though - tn
men we're still ct the court house, 10 4
doubtful II they fully appreciated VIA
they we're getting In that line, and the.
left no time unoccupied.
As the train was half IN hour late
there Was some waiting time, but It va
not until just a the train Vas pulling
into the upper end Of the yard that IN!
one Was induced to speak. Then thert
we're brief but earnest remarks BY A. &
