He ar- ranged everything this morving, and it isthe desire of the city officials that everybody who can, see the boys off. It is probable that the biggest crowd out for many a day will turn out on this memorable occasion, This morning a meeting was held at the armory and there were 135 ac- cepted. There was great enthusiasm manifested, and the boys proved that they are thoroughly in earnest, and intend to go. Col, Smith is expected this after- noon, and the company will be muse tered in at once, and be equipped as soon as possible.
