Show P (Communicated) Will They Return? "The Editor Beaver County NEWS, With the exception of one brave boy who uufurled the stars and stripes, aud one old, gray-haired veteran aud one beau'iful young lady, whose smile and loving manner meant much to the brave solditr boys who are going as "lambB to the slaughter," apparently Milford seemed to be dead, dead. It will only be a matter of time until we will be permitted to bid our sons "God speed," when the riverB run with blood, then will we remember our God. Praise be to the young lad (Homer McClanahan) with the banner; praise to the veteran with the Bilver locks; praise to our fair haired eister for their patriotinm. Employees of Atkin Ranch, by J. R. Lee. Editor's Note; -The above refers to the passing through Milford of the Utah Battery, Wednesday morning. The news of the coming was potted by this paper the evening before and confirmed con-firmed the next morning. It is are-gretable are-gretable fact that tho crowd did not carry fiag, or at leatt raise a welcoming welcom-ing and good-bye cheer for the boyt. We are of the opinion that ihc omiiiiion waa the result of thoughtlessness rather than lack ef appreciation and the editor feels his full share of the blame. While there were lorat) cheers and "good-bye's," the demonstration was sadly inappropriate inappro-priate to the occassion. The delegation dele-gation from tbe Atkiu Ranch deserv commendation. |
