are legion, heard of it. they made haste
to congratulate him on his appoint
ment.
He is especially well known in G. "A.
r. circles in the State, having been as
sistant quartermaster general undo
Department Commander John ID.
Myrick, late of this city. and Gen.
Sclden Common. This position IS one
that brings the officer in close touca
with the members of the organization.
He has also before been in the position
of assistant adjutant general. having
occupied the Office in 1885 and 1885, re-
spectively, under Commanders James
A. Hall and S. w. Lane.
AS Mr.. Carleton has an office in TINS

ment headquarters will be here. Orders
of Importance are expected to be sent
