These Boys Will Go

Saturday’s Daily. Frank Hawkins, Perry Sorel, Wallace Stivers and Roy Jakes are four young men from this town who have persisted in their intention to join the Mouticello company, and have passed the examination. Wilbur Tharp, wlio was most anxious to go, was rejected on account of eye trouble. Walter Tharp passed the examination, but it is said will not go on account of parents’ consent being withheld. Frank Shide, from about 8 miles south of Rensselaer, is also a member of this company. These boys are all here to spend Sunday and the Fourth.
