DAY LONGER
Rf;cmen NAV Not Leave Macon Un-
til Friday or Maybe
Saturday.


From a letter received from a
member of the Brunswick Riflemen,
at Macon, it seems that some slight
change has been made in the depart
ure of the troops and it is likely that
the local company will not entrain
until late Friday or, it may be. that
they will have to wait until Satur-
dav afternoon or early Sunday.
The Fifth Regiment was tc have
been the first to leave and now 1t has
been decided that it shall be the last
with the cavalry and the hospital
corps. This it is said, will be about
Tuesday of next week. The men in
camp have been disappointed so many
times recently it is supposed that
they have become used" to it.
