The going away of Shelby county’s second quota of selected men for the National army was the occasion for one of the greatest demonstrations in Sidney’s history this morning. At the south steps of the court house, the 56 men were met by the Sidney band, which accompanied them to the C.H. & D station. At the park at the top of the hill they were met by the children of the schools, who also marched to the station. Thousands of people had gathered at the station to give the boys a send-off.
