Monticello Businessmen Are Joining the Militia.

Monticello Journal: About fifteen new members, among them several businessmen i of the city, joined the local militia at its regular drill last night. The national slogan of preparedness is being emphasized in the militia work over the country and the men here are taking hold earnestly and with enthusiasm. THOJmen are receiving thorough instruction in the drills and it is planned when the weather becomes favorable, to give drills outside in the street. There is no finer exercise than drilling. Nothing more stimulating or beneficial for the tired business or professional man. That is one reason the opportunity to join the company makes such strong appeal to the businessmen of the city.
