or disloyalists in Mercer county they
are due to move. 1t will do them no
good to take to the woods, because
the active, loyal people of the county

fuss about disloyalists or slackers, but
it is firm in the faith that the war
with Germany is an affair in which
every citizen of America should bear
part, and has organized itself very
thoroughly to see that no citizen of
Mercer county, at least, shall shirk.
The leader of the organization of
Mercer county is Justice George A.

chairman of the county executive
committee and the neighborhood com
mittee. and member of the finance
committee. Unlike certain county Of
