fully al home We would further sug
gest that each local committee,
through IT'S chairman, call d meetinr
at an early date and determine the
time and place Of meeting and greet
Ing of the returning soldiers recog
mixing the fact that, with the excep-
Ition of the two companies Of the Ma
tionai Guard III Annapolis city, most
of our boys will not return In Z body
and the date will necessarily have To-
be postponed to time when all, or d
large mapority. are at home.
The committee has not undertaken
to name committees OF colored people
to receiye the returning soldiers Of
their race simply because they did not
have al hand the names Of proper per-
sons to place upon the committee but
will be glad to receive suggestions
from the relatives and friends of col
4ored soldiers Of the county ID rela
ltion to this matter. and to name such
committees as they may deem proper.
In conclusion. We urge upon all of
our citizens the duty Of giving all aid
possible to these committees tn order
that We show those who are returning
from the war that We appreciate their
great effort and the sacrifices they
have made for Us all
