That the spirit of patriotism has been
arousod throughout Somerset county was

stalwart young men frjrn various sections
of the county, who patiently awaited
their torn to appear before the examining
surgeon and the recruiting olHeer. who
had availed themselves of the use of R.
P. Cummins Port Boom for the purpose
of recruiting a volunteer company for the
war.
