E. L. Hammerton Entertains Soldiers At Indianapolis.

Thursday evening, Dec. 14th, the home of E. L. Hammerton at 427 N. Jefferson Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., was the scene of a pleasant gathering for a few members of Co. M, namely: Privates Archie Lee, Orphia Gant, Glenn Burns /and Joe Elder; also Sergt. Silas Heatfi, from Co. C of Monticello. An equal number of lady friends of Miss Maude Elder helped to make it pleasant for the boys.' The house was beautifully decorated in patriotic and Uletide decorations. The evening was spent in dancing and playing cards, the ladies at times entertaining the soldiers with the latest popular music and songs, all new to the boys, after which refreshments were served and at a late hour the jolly soldier boys, with their newfound friends, left on their •roundabout way for the fort.—Contributed.
