However, they seem to be satisfied with the present officers, who will hold over.

Tuesday morning the local board received or- ders to send one colored = man to Camp Funston, Kansas, April 26. The news was passed around town and some people seemed to be of the opinion that the colored boys who were in the draft would turn white, but such was not the case. Before night James Misner, who works with the Crouch Brothers as -a_ clothes cleaner appeared before the board and asked to be sent. He. said that it was immaterial whether or not it was his turn, he wanted to go, and it is probable that the board will grant his fequest. So far as we know Mr. Misner will be the first representative of his race to volunteer for service from Bates county. At a public sale in the Rockville neighborhood some time ago an old hen was put up and sold and the pro- ceeds turned over to the Red Cross.

A so-called worthless dog was sold at auction for the benefit of the Montrose chapter some time ago for $25.
