McPHERSON COUNTY SOLDIERS.

McPherson county is exceedingly proud of the part its young men are playing in the support of the nation in the present war and they have already presented to the nation far more than the contemplated quota this county should furnish to raise the first section of a half million men for the United States. If every other section of the nation would respond as generously as have the McPherson county boys, there would be no need of instituting draft proceedings.
