Home Coming
Of Company E.
Plan of Langdon Club Shape
Loyal Reception When
Boys Come Home

At recent meeting of the Lang
don Commercial Club and citizens it
was decided to arrange for a suitable
reception for the soldiers and sailors
of Cavali er county now and soon to
be discharged from the service.
The committee in charge of this
matter has decided to have this re.
ception at Langdon at the time that
the members of the 116th Trench
Mortar Battery are discharged and
are able to return to Langdon. This
occasion was selected for the date of
the reception as it is generally as.
sumed that more men will return at
one time f,om this military unit
than from any other. So far as
known it ia expected that at least
125 men of the company of ISL
that left here will be able to return
at the same time.
All soldiers, sailors, special SER
vice men and others, who entered the
service of the country, are invited
to attend this reception. The date
o. the reception can not be definite.
ly stated as the committee does not
know when the men in the 116th
Trench Mortar Battery will arrive in
Langdon.
The notice of the exact time of
their arrival may be short and this
will prevent giving general notice
throughout the county. AS soon as
the date can be definitely fixed the
committee in charge of the reception
will advise the telephone central
office at each point in the county and
all soldiers now at home are request
ed to advise the local telephone office
at their home town of their location
so that they may be promptly notified
The tentative program as arranged
will include dinner and supper for
all, program at the auditorium in
the evening, dances, etc
The committee desires the atten-
dance of every man in the county
who has been in the service and will
endeavor to make this most plea
SAINT reunion. AS this in vitation may
not reach all who have been dischar
ged. citizens are requested to advise
all in their respective localities.
No efforts will be spared to make
this first reunion of the men one that
will long be remembered and trust
that it may lead to others in the
future.
