He grilled teens, pressed them to admit false ages, then allowed tardy registrants to enroll as “patriots.” About four new recruits joined Brady’s tally via this tactic. Also, Hilliard Simmons, grandson of Riley Harkey, nephew of Mrs. Thornton, is in U S Navy hospital in Chicago recovering. Elder J T Whitt to preach at Pecan Grove schoolhouse Sunday June 17 at 11 and 8. Public invited. Best of everything in baked goods.
