Marshall County.

The people of Marshall assembled at the Court House for the purpose of considering the propriety of offering bounties to volunteers to fill the quota of this county under the "late call." On motion, Mr. Joseph Turner was appointed President and N. R. Shattuck Secretary. The Rev. Mr. Trainer explained the object of the meeting to be, not only to consider the subject of bounties, but to appoint delegates to the Grafton convention.
After some discussion the meeting voted, almost unanimously, to instruct the Board of Supervisors to offer three hundred dollars ($300) for volunteers, whether they may enlist for one, two or three years.
