THE MILITARY CELEBRATION.
The first anniversary celebration of the
| J-.l.:.. n;ae-, l--t Thu-eloy. " e"nnose
beyond the most sanguine expectations that
had been entertained. At an early hour in
the day people commenced pouring in from
the country, and long before the appointed
time for the exercises to begin, the streets
we're lined by an expectant throng, attracted
by the novelty of military display, the FIRST
made by citizen soldiery in Yorkville, since
the reconstruction era inaugurated in South
Carolina soon after the close of the war.
The programme was successfully carried
out in every particular. At 4 o'clock in the
afternoon the Cadets of Kings Mountain
Military School, under command of Colonel
Coward, and preceded by the Yorkville Hell,
icon Band, marched from the Garrison to the
Armory of the Jenkins Rifles, where this
company, under command of Captain Gard,
ner, was formed in line ready to receive
them. At this juncture, Lieutenant George
D. Wallace, of the United States Cavalry
now on leave of absence and visiting his pa
rents in this county, having been invited to
participate in the celebration, stepped for,
ward, in full dress uniform of a cavalry off
Ger, and took his position, as Adjutant, at the
left of Captain Gardner, when the compa'
MES marched in column of fours to the depot
to meet and welcome the visiting company
from Chester-the Lee Light Infantry, Cap
tain Marshall.
The train bearing this company arrived
promptly on time. The men disembarked
and soon formed in line, when the other cons
panies, who we're at "parade rest" received
the command, "Attention !' The visiting
company was then received with military for.
malities, the band struck up an inspiriting
march, and the column moved off in the fol.
lowing order:
Yorkville Helicon Band, eleven pieces.
Color.bearers Haynes and Wagner, with
United States flags.
Cadets of Kings Mountain Military School,
COL A. Coward, commanding.
Jenkins Rifles, Captain j. r. Gardner.
Lee Light Infantry, Capt. J. X. Marshall.
The marching of the column through Main
street presented spectacle we'll worth seeing.
Though there was nothing of competitive
spirit manifested by the different companies,
yet each acted on its mettle, striving to do its
best and marching by columns of companies,
every man bearing himself as veteran, the
display was imposing and magnificent.
Arriving on the parade ground of Kings
Mountain Military School, where several
hundred persons, including large number Of
ladies, were assembled, the companies-the
Lee Light Infantry resting on the right, and
