changes of the utmost Importance to
the national guard, was issued from
the Office of Adjutant General Byers

regiments are changed from the Forty
ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty first and Fifty
second, the numbers held through the
| Spanish American war period, to the

first district and our troubles will be
looked after by the new Fifty-third
