The stations above mentioned, with a few exceptions,
are the department or district headquarters

lettersaddressed to those stations, marked
to be forwarded, will reach their destination.
Insulting Ladies on the Street - A young man named
Clem. Mix was last night arrested by officers
Rager and Kendall for insulting ladies on the street, by making obscene
remarks regarding the size of the limb
to which their feet are attached. He was fined by the Mayor eight
dollars.
30 July A Patriotic Township - Washington township,
Pike county, has a credit of 110 men on
former calls for troops. As her quota under the present call is but 42
men she will still, after filling it, have
68 men to her credit. There are not many townships that can make a
better showing than this.
There is another entry on 18 July - rather special I
feel:
We have heard of numerous instances of female
heroism in the harvest field which do credit
to woman
s heart. The male population, in great numbers, are off to the war. And
the noble women at home are garnering the
grain for them. Everywhere the neighborly system of exchange of labor,
(in which women and children have been largely
engaged to their infinite credit,) has been adopted, and the wheat
crop, one of the largest ever produced, will
be havested and saved.
Now, if I had just found out exactly what the goose
ordinance was.
