C'pKi" C C Hammond of Co:i
puny A at Kugeup, came to this city
Thursday 'ind a meeting was held
in the Masonic ha'l at S o'clock in
the evening at which a majority of
tlioc signing for eulistment and a
number of citizens were present.
Captain Hammond explaiucd the
i bjeet of the meeting, saying that
the formal ion of a company in this
city fully depended ou tho report
he made to headquart jth, but we
had no need to fear on that line as
he was nunc than pleased with the
condition and interest taken, and
after lining the boys up he said ho
could not make any but a most
favorable repot t and feels mire that
Cottage drove will have one ot the
bent companies in tho state.
Inteiesting remarks were made
by ! C. Johnson, F. J. Hard, At
torney Medley and others, all
pledging their hearty support to
tho company.
A company is composed of C5
privates and -l officers making oS
men necessary for the formation of
a company. The list contains 10.1
names of good able-bodied men, bo
.ve will have no trouble in getting
the required 'S, if every oue sign
ing the roll will make it a point to
be present when the company is
formed.

"Captain C. C Hamm -nd, of Co.

from Cottage drove, where he was
sent by Adjutant General Finzer to
ascertain the c niditions- looking to
!the organization of an infantry
company in that city. He says the
meeting held Thursday t ight was
attended by over seventy of the
men who had signed the petition
for the company and by over 200
other citizens of the citv and that
the enthusiasm is great. The
whole town wants the company and
the people will do everything to
encourage it. The matter of suit
able quarters was dNcusfcd and the
captain loarued that provisions had
been made for a hall to be occupied
for a fow months aud 15. K. haw

enterprise, who is talked ot as be

erect a new two -story brick block,

Captain Hammond lnu scut in a
favorable report to the adjutant

will not be long before orders come
to muster in tho company." Ku

why the referendum

Voters who are asked to lend
thf ir aid io the movement by sign
ing petitions F-hould firmly refuse.
Many have already signed because
they have been asked by friends to
do so, without re sizing the serious
ness of the consequences. They can
very properly request the privilege
of striking th ir names from the
petitions. Those who are wasting
their time in a movement which
cannot possibly be productive of
good, and will almost certainly be
productive of harm, should decline
to assist further in the work Ore
