While this response is gratifying in View of the slowness of recruiting {all overfstill at the same rate it will take nearly a month to complete the quota. It is desired to have the quota from the 3lst Regiment complete by the end of this week. and in order to accomplish this, recruits will have to come out. If Grey county does not furnish its quota within a reasonable time, it will be the privilege of some other section of the province to make up the deficiency. Up to now our county has not failed to supply all and even more than the number of re- cruits she has bee-n asked for.
