THOMAS COX MAY GO TO WAR.

Our splendid townsman, Thomas Cox,.has received the following notice’ from the Chicago British-Can-adian Recruiting mission: “You will be included in the 4th class which consists of men between the ages of thirty-five and forty-five, who are married. This class will not >e called for a considerable time. However, all British subjects who wish to join our forces will have to do so before three months. If they do not do so within that time they will be drafted into the American army.”

Mr. Cox has taken out his first papers but this does'not change his status as a British subject. He is full of patriotism and if he can be assured that his family will be properly taken care of he will enlist in the British army. If you have lost any stock, call A. L. Padgitt, Phono 65.
