Bruce Porter, Jr., Visits Old Home.

Bruce Porter, Jr., whose mother lives at Mt. Vernon, S. Dak., left this morning for Spring Grove, 111. He had l>een visiting his sister, Mrs. Mills, at Muncie, Ind., and came here Tuesday for a short visit with relatives. He was accompanied by his friend, Dean Thompson, who has been employed by Bruce’s mother on her farm. Mr. Thompson will leave Bruce at Chicago and will go to Mt. Vernon, where he will again be employed on the Porter farm. Bruce reports that there are thirteen counties in South Dakota that did not have to furnish men on the first call for soldiers, as these counties had given more than their quota as volunteers.
