probable that the annal muster of the
National Guard will be held earlier
this year than is usual, probably from

, principally to the fact that the tern
of enlistment of large number of the
men, expires about the middle of the
month, and again the usual time OF
holding muster, during the week OF
,, Augsut 6, would bring Old Home
Week and muster week at the same
time and inconvenience many of the
members.
