THEIR KIND RECEPTION AND HosPITABLE
TREATMENT BY THE SOLDIERS OF THE CITY
OF HILLs''-A SHORT, BUT PLEASANT VISIT
On last Wednesday night the Depot Of the G.
& o. r. R. was the scene of much animation
the clank of the artilleryman's sabre and rattle
of drums, Joined with the neighing Of the great
iron-horse impatient of his unwOnted burden,
awakened the echoes Of the surrounding hills,
and announced that the Staunton Artillery
and the Stonewall Brigade Band were about
leaving for the Lynchburg Fair in acceptance
of an invitation extended them by the Lynch
burg Light Artillery Blues.
Taking the Express at 1920 with full COM
plement of the Band and thirty-five members
of the Artillery with Capt. Fultz In command,
we whistled away past Fishersville, and
Waynesboro' and diving through the tunnel,
FASTENED across the red hills Of Albemarle and
soon reached the classic cityof Charlottesville,
where we hastily changed cars and were soon
''going down to Lynchburg town. at q rate
which landed US under the hills of that ancient
city at o'clock in the morning.
Here they were met by the Lynchburg Light
Artillery Blues, the Home Guard, and the
Harmonican Band by whom they were escort
ed first to the Armory of the Blues, where re-
freshments were furnished them. and then to
the Norvell House, where they were provided
with comfortable quarters and an excellent
breakfast.
At eleven o'clock all the companies, includ-
ing the Danville Greys, formed in front of the
Norvel House, and were welcomed by Maj.
John w. Daniel in one of those beautiful,
chaste speeches, for which he is so famous.
Thence they marched to the Fair Grounds, a
mile out of the city, and were disbanded to en-
joy themselves as to them seemed best During
the day the Stonewall Ban assembled at the
Central Pavilion and played a number of pieces
in their usual excellent manner.
Returning to the city in the evening, they
paraded several of the principal streets. and
the whole turnout made quite an imposing dis
play.
The parade over, they artook of sumptuous
supper at the Norvell and later attended a
banquet, given by the Blues. 1t was a most
enjoyable occasion, and some very felicitous
speeches were made, but the greater part of the
time was consumed in conversation and the
convivialities OF the occasion.
Our boys returned home Friday night per.
fectly delighted with the kind reception they
had received and full of praise of the Lynch
burg people and especially the whole-sou
members of the Lynchburg Light ARTILLERY
Blues.
