SOLDIER PARADE.
Bluff CITY Grays on Duty---A Sword Pre-
sentation and an Exhibition Drill.

The Bluff City Grays turned out
last night in gallant style and gave a
brilliant exhibition of their efficiency
and soldierly qualities at the EXPOSE
ton building. The attendance of
spectators was numerous and the ex-
ercises were witnessed with much de-
light and enthusiasm.
The exercises commenced with a
dress parade, Lieutenant Rhett acting
as adjutant, Sergeant Wildberger as
sergeant-major, and Lieutenants Pet
TIT and Armour commanding the first
and second companies respectively
Captain Cameron acting as the colo
mel. After the dress parade and just
before the companies were marched
off the parade ground, Sergeant
IriOn stepped to the front and CEN
ter, and advancing to the group
OF officers presented a handsome
sword to Lieutenant Rhett. In his
remarks Sergeant Irion referred to
the feeling of appreciation and pride
held by the company toward Lieu
tenant Rhett on his courteous de-
meanOr, soldierly bearing, courage
and devotion to duty, The. sword, he
said, was intended as a memorial
tribute to chivalrous heroism and as
an incentive to future acts of merit
and fidelity.
The recipient responded in eloquent
and feeling terms, and gave expression
in beautiful sentiments to his appre-
citation Of the unexpected compliment.
Then followed a company drill of
picked men, commencing with the
manual, which was most excellent.
and concluding with the various com.
pany maneuyer marching. The APP
plause was frequent, and it is safe to
say the boys showed up at great ad-
vantage. The presence of a large
number of the far sex did much to
stimulate the soldiers to do their best.

The Atlanta Constitution of the

Memphis a few seasons ago and was a

winsome manner and endeared by his

little wonder that the city, in some
sort, turned out to attend the nuptials
of this couple.
After the ceremony the attendants
ushers and a few friends repaired to
the residence of Mr.. Ellis, where a de-
lightful lunch awaited them. AS it
was arranged that the bride and
groom would leave on the 2:15 train
Tor Florida, the stay at the house was
necessarily limited, but was full of
pleasure. The presents were unusu-
ally handsome and numerous.
At abOut2 o'clock the happy couple.
accompanied by a crowd Of friends,
rode to the depot and took seats in a
special through car, furnished by the
Central road for Mr.. and Mrs. Balm.
