WILL GO VIA MISSOURI PACIFIC Leaving Plattsmouth in the Morning, and Arriving at Funston During Night. >From Wednesday’s Daily. The last of the men which have been sent from this county, during the month of August, will depart from the Missouri Pacific station tomorrow morning of the 9:17 train going via Kansas City. While the callings of the boys from this county this month seemingly have been small, there are still when the computation is made, what would call four hundred from this county during the year. There were three to go to Ft. Logan, six went to the auto school at Kansas City, and at the same time there were six sent to the special training school at Lincoln. This nine to go to Funston tomorrow, two went to the Great Lakes, and one enlisted Robert POISALL went to Ft. Logan, and seven enlisted and went to the navy at San Francisco, they being Albert MILLER, Will NEWMAN, Earnest BUTTERY, DeForest DWYER, Chester BRIGGS, Mearle RAINEY, and Andrew C. MARSHALL (June). Besides these we fear we have missed some one which may have gone some place else. This makes 34 for this month while it is still considered a quiet month. There is also called for the next month for this state, 1,496 but the quota for the county has not as yet been announced, which are to go forward early in September.
