Militia May Get a Trip To The Mexican Border.

While no official orders have been received by the local militia company there seems a fair chance that is may be called into the service of the United States to help quell the Mexican revolution. The apparent purpose of taking the regular army to Texas is to bring about a cessation of the revolution, which has been going on there for some time, and from the division of militia affairs of the war department comes the unofficial information that the militia may be called Into service. The commanding officer of the Monticello company is quoted as havlpg given it out that he has been notified by the Adjutant-General to hold the company at that plaee m readiness for call. It is being urged that all companies recruit at once up to full strength and the local organization is in need of a dozen or fifteen vigorous and active young men to comply with that order. Enlistments will be received at any time by either Captain George H. Healey or Lieutenant Herman B. Tuteur.
