Chas A. Branaman Home After U. S. Army Enlistment.

Charles A Branaman arrived here Thursday from Galveston, Tex., where he served an enlistment in the U. S. army as a member of the 19th Infantry. Most of the‘time he was in the quartermaster’s corps, to which he was detailed. He was given a discharge that any young man-can be proud of, stating his character to be excellent, no unauthorized absences and with services honest and faithful. Mr. Branaman is a brother of Mrs. Harry Magee and has other relatives in the county. He expects to re-enlist in the army but does not want to be sent to border duty or assigned to the fort at Galveston. The recent tornado and flood there caused them a great amount of trouble and Mr. Branaman states that ho will be better satisfied inland. If he enlists within three months he will get a bonus of $45 and after that $3 extra per month on his second enlistment.
