the long line of autos, containing
the soldier boys and their friends
accompanying them on their Car
thage trip; there were fully twenty
five autos in line and they made a
good showing in the parade at Car
thage. Our boys are to be con-
graduated on their being sent to San
Diego, which is one of the best train
ing camps in the country. Four Of
the twenty-one were workers in the
shoe factory, and the latter shut

trip to Carthage, said there were
about 5000 people at the depot to
see the boys off; they went via Quin-
