Organizing a Company In Newton County.

Three young men from Brook, Messrs. Snyder, Hess and Wilson, were in Rensselaer Thursday to get information relative to the organization of a national guard company in Newton county. The plan is to have platoons in each of the four towns in the county, Brook, Goodland, Kentland and Morocco. The towns are of about equal size and it is hoped to have the membership about equally divided in the four towns. One of the towns would be the headquarters of the company, but officers or non-commission-ed officers could be stationed in each town. Just as soon as the required number is pledged, the roster will be filed with the Adjutant General, who will order the physical examination and muster the company into the state service.
