splendid opportunity for the assembling of
The regiment l served with nv companv
under Col. LaWton in the Spanish war, ana
l am delighted with the idea of serving
under him again. Our relations with Col
Wooten and the officers of the Fourth
Regiment We're very pleasant, but think
it well that all the companies in this i'm
mediate section should be included in one
regiment
Capt Dart stated that Coz Lawton said
he would be more than pleased to take his
regiment to Brunswick and that he
thought it very likely that the five Savan-
nah companies of his original regiment
would accept the invitation. The Guards
Battalion, which has recently been trans
ferred to the regiment being without the
regulation uniform and being short Of
equipment in other ways, may not be able
to see their way clear to make the trip
Col Iawton suggested" said Capt
Dart, that the Rifles should come to Sa-
Vaunah to take part in the parade at the
veterans reunion next month and
promptly accepted in behalf of my compa-
ny. This win give an opportunity for the
assembling of the entire regiment.
I'VE have been guaranteed a very low
rate for the troops for Governors Day."
said MIR Leavy. 1.-The fare win not ex-
coed S1.5O for the round trip and the sched-
ule is such that the trip can be made in
one day, so that the troops can be back in
Savannah by midnight. They would have
practically an entire day in Brunswick
The military and citizens of Brunswick
will entertain the visiting troops and we
win guarantee them an enjoyable time"
