Monticello Plans For Home Coming of Soldiers.

Monticello is planning a celebration in honor of the members of,Co. C, of that cityr who have been on the Mexican border for several months. Although nothing definite has been settled as to the manner of the celebration in Rensselaer, it would seem is if the plans made by Monticello are good ones and Rensselaer could have a similar one. The Monticello committee will ask that-following the mustering out of the soldiers from the federal service at Indianapolis, the company be kept together and all come back to Monticello in a body. It is planned to have music and oratory with the banquet and the program will be in charge of a committee appointed for that purpose who will select a speaker and provide whatever else in the way of entertainment is needed. The banquet here could be held in the armory. Mayor Spitler could give the address of welcome, while the ladies of the churches could help in the work of serving the banquet. A public meeting should be held at once and committees appointed and arrangements made for the reception of the soldiers. y •.
