Mexican situation grows more grave with risk of clash

Glenwood notes local militia enlistments rise as Captain Humphrey awaits orders. The Glenwood union gospel team draws a near 200 audience and an open air meeting ends with the Little Brown Church song. Local land transfers and library notes follow, including property deeds and reading room notices.
