FORTY-SEVEN LEFT AUBURN TUESDAY MORNING.ENTRAINED FOR CAMP TAYLORBig Crowd Gathered at the Auburn Depot to See the Men Board the Train for Their Part in Service.Forty-seven men left DeKalb county Tuesday afternoon for Camp Taylor, taking the New York Central train at Auburn at ten o'clock. The trip was made in day light, arriving at Camp Taylor in time for supper.Early Tuesday morning people began to pour into Auburn from various parts of the county in order that they might have a farewell goodbye with the boys who left their homes and community. To many of them il was a cheery good-by. That kind of a good bye will be the pleasant goodbye for the soldier to remember. To some the parting good-bye was full of sorrow. Tears were shed by all, but some of them kept the tears back so that the soldier boy did not see them. The scene at the depot was one of a God speed nature, and every body who gathered at the depot had a God-speed message for every parting man. To those who remained at home, they begin to realize that they have not yet been called or that they have been numbered among the slackers. There are those who have a greater duty at home, or an equal one. But the man who remains at home, no matter whether it is duty that keeps him, will, after the war is over, regret that he was not numbered among those who responded to to the call of their country.At nine o’clock the drafted men gathered on the court house lawn and formed in procession? The Auburn city band gathered at the court house and Also a drum corps and with the members of the G. A. R. as an escort the parade started for the depot, with admiring friends following. At the depot there was considerable time to wait and the good-byes were said. The ladies of the W. R. C. of Auburn distributed boxes of very substantial lunches to the men as they boarded the train and all left with a feeling that DeKalb county is proud of the contingent of men sent to Camp Taylor on July 23. 1918.The following is a list of the men called:Ralph R.
