Carroll Wesley Leatherman, who drew number 258 and therefore Headed the draft list, has joined Company M and will thereby be able to go into service with the home boys. Young Leatherman is 22 years of age and has a splendid physical physique and will maHe a most excellent soldier. He is the son of David Leatherman, of this city, and a nepherw of James N. Leatherman, cashier of the First National Bank of this place. He is a young man of most splendid character and will make a most excellent soldier. He received a gold star in 1907 for five -years of perfect attendance in the public schools of the county and in 1910 he was graduated from the public schools of this county. It is possible that the example of young Leatherman will be followed by a number of others and that Company M will have her quota before the drafting is commenced.
