Third Division of Clay Country's Selective Soldiery Leave Louis¬ ville for Camp Taylor, Ky.
The tlllrd division of Clay Countj''s selective soldiery enrolled under the government's llrstcall left LoulsvlUe, the county seut, and passed tlirough Flora, bound for Carap Zacliery Tay¬ lor, Ky., yesterday, Oct. 3rd. In ar¬ my terms a division of men used to mean 2000 infantrymen or more, or four full rei;lments, but In this case the word division really means but twenty-three men. Tliese men, or rather boys, were entrained at Louis¬ ville at 10:24 a. m., reaching Flora at 10:45, where they were transferred to a special un the main line, and in less than thirty minutes thereafter were .speeding on their way to camp and the eventualities of an unknown fu¬ ture. Sertjeants Wm. Floy Mallnskl, of Flora, and Jacob V. Bryan, of Lou¬ isville, were selected to liave cliarge of the squad until camp was reached. An Immense crowd of people atten¬ ded the assembly and departure' of this contingent at Louisville. A " short program, directed by Capt. Cul¬ bertson, was carried out at the Court I House, the principal features of j which were stirring, patriotic speecli- ifts by Col. Randolpli Smith and Judge 'L A. M. Kose.
