EFFORT TO RETAIN
OLD COMPANY !
New England States to Unite to Re.
organize National Guard, and Brat.
tleboro May Have Company.

In concert with the other New England
states, as soon as most of the men are out
of the service, an effort will be made in
Vermont to reorganize the National
Guard. 1t is expected that move in this
direction will be made in this state as
soon as the 26th division returns and is
mustered out.
An effort will be made in Brattleboro
TO retain an organization, and it is hoped
that the old Company | organization may
be retained It has been suggested that
to insure company here company of
the Volunteer Militia be now organized
and at the proper time secure federal rec
ognition so as to become National
Guard unit Of course such company
would be filled with men who have been
in the service. SO far as possible. 1t is
believed that former members of the Ma,
tional Guard viii not be adverse to con
tinuing in the service, in view of their
natural pride in the great record made
by that arm of the American army in the
war, and the consequent satisfaction in
being connected with it.

from the United States army, will return
TO the practice of the law at Brattleboro,
but his definite plans in that connection

return to civil life and to the profession
of the law. He is at the present engaged
