Monon’s Roll of Honor Now Numbers Thirty-Five.

Monticello Journal. The town of Monon has an honor roll of thirty-five, that number of her young men having surrendered their business and their occupations to rally to the colors. The News says the young men who have enlisted from there were actively engaged in civic duties, mingling prominently in social and business affairs and are of the cream of the community’s young manhood. They are now widely scattered over the c untry at a number of army posts and training caps. One man enlisted in the guard here and one at Winamac. Representatives from Manon in the army are located in Maine, Kentucky, Texas, North Carolina, Florida and the Great Lakes. Only four of the number that 'have so far enlisted at Monon failed to pass the required physical examination. Nearly all of the enlistments were .secured by Postmaster Bennett, who has been' very active in securing recruits for the army from his town.
