tables had been spread, whose total
length, according to acual mea ure-
ment, was over q quarter OF mile. No
LEES than hundred carcasses were bar
becued to the queens taste in the
pits close by, and the tables were piled
with profusion of~good things rarely
seen at barbecue. The veterans
charged with the spirit Of 81 and
were nobly sustained by their guests,
the brave and the fair supporting each
other in a common attack on the feast.
There was enough for all, and after the
tables we're deserted, sregiment OF dar-

and were satisfied. After dinner the

parted by twcs and threes and scores

and dust, which seemed to sift through

NO TRADE MADE
BUT A GOOD DEAL OF GOSSIP
AFLUAT.
The Exact State Of the RumOred Con-
sOIidRtiOn Of the street Car
Companies.

1t hiss been current ON the streets
for more than week that there was
contemplated consolidation Of the
two street Ger lines OF this city. The
APPEAL heard OF the rumors, but re-
fused to give publicity to what at the
time was mere idle gossip. Later de-
velopmen's, however, have been made,
and the APPEAL Is in position TO
speak autboritively when it says there
ia no truth whatever in the rumor OF a
consolidation, The facts in relation
to the whole matter are abou.
as follows: A we'll known Memphis
capitals. several days ago secured q
wiitten option from the majority oil
the stockholders Of both companies in
which fixed price was named Tor the
sale of both lines. 1t was to be an alb
solute purchase by this gentleman
who represents eyndic lie OF wealthy
Memphians of the stock and appur-
tenar ces of the old and new company.
The opt'on has not expired and negc-
tia ions are still pending for
the purchase and in all proba,,
bilty will be cousummsted
within the next forty-eight hours.
The price was not given the APPEAL
reporter, but IL ia said TO be 81 900, 900,
in round figures. The capital stock OF
the Memphis City Railway, or old
company, is 100000. They also have
S96. 600 worth Of bonds outstanding.
The Citizens Street Railway, or new
company, represents a capital stock OF
$3.50 600. The valuation OF each ia
said to be in the proportion OF 5000, OOO
for the old and 100000 for the
new. 1t is stated IS potitive fact that
the bulk OF the capital nee ded to make
the purchase will be furnished by
Memphis capitalists The gentleman
who is at the head OF the syndicate Is
most favorably known to the commu'
nity, and his connection with the
contemplated purchase Of both lines ID
guarantee that the best tervice
will be rendered cit zens aud every
facility afforded for comfort and
regularity in the running OF both lines
Should the purchase be made the en-
tie street railway system OF Memphis
will be under one general supervision
There are many knoty problems ye'
to be solved before the purchase car
BIS made, and possibly the negotiation
now pending may fall through, but al
signs now point to a Gale.

ing, that Nor h Mississippi ever saw.
The idea was conceived by few OF
the old toldie,s OF Tate county about
two weeks ago and in few days grew
into such mammoth proportions that
the entire plan had to be changed.
From sunrise until noon every avenue
leading into the town WIS thronged
with people, walking, riding, and drlv-
ing in buggies, carriages and wagons;
the mail train from below was well
filed and fp- cial sent out from Mem
phis at s o'clock took on large crowds
at all the stations intervening. There
we're veterans present from nearly
every one OF the Southern Statee, the
greater port on, however, residing in
the surrounding counties. Five hum
bred recorded their names in a book
kept by the committee for the pur-
pose, and there were at least 200 ex-
Confederate soldiers who did not reg
lister. The vast crowd of men, women
and childred covered every available
foot of space in the ample grove where
th4 exercises were mainly he'd, the
number being variously estimated at
from 5000 to 1000.
The arrival Of the traiu from Mem
phie was announced by the booming
Of cannon, aud the Coldwater band
struck up a lively air as its human
freight was discharged upon the plat
form. Immediately afterward the
ve'ersrs, wearing little flags OF red,
white and blue upon the lappels OF
their coats, marched in double column
to the courthouse, preceded by the
band, brass twelve FOUNDER bringing
up the rear, Capt P. NJ. B.Wait acting
as grand marshal Of the day. The
courtroom was cleared of all except
ex Confederst S, and Mr.. N. A. Taylor,
who acted as master of the ceremonies,
introduced the Hon J. @. Rosebolough,

Grenada-NOtts.

Col. A. @. Kirby, engineer OF the
Memphis, Kaupas and Western rail-
road, returned 10 the city yesterday,
and was interviewed by an APPEAL
reporter last night. In answer to an
inquiry as to the prospects OF his pro-
iected road, he said "a preliminary
survey has just been completed OF the
difficult portions Of the line in Arkan-
sls-namely, from Newport TO the
Miss 1url line, and a practical route
found, the maximum grades being
under eighty feet to the mile and

An unassuming looking gentleman
in a seersucker sack coat, dark colored
pants aud rs cent straw hat was
seated at about 6 pm. yesterday on
the iron steps Of the building corner
OF South Court and Main. His hair
and mustache were light colored, the
former heavily tipged with gay. An
APPEAL reporter ives about to pass the
retiring stranger without notice when
some familiar feature attracted his at
tention and led him to bestow q

America, the land OF the true and the
brave, receives from all the nations OF
the earth. Gen. Grant claimed the
glory OF the war; let US claim at least
part Of the credit OF building up this
our common country" A shout of
applause wss given Capt. Dockery. 1t
was then moved thst the veterans eff.
feet permanent organization. Col.
Ton White, of fernando, was elected
temporary chairman, and made a brief
address thanking the veterans for the
honor they had conferred on him. He
thought the meeting q good thing.
'For twenty-one years" he said, 1--WE
have retired to our homes and Guilt
waited the arts OF peace. But the
years are passing, raven locks are
growing gray, and the time is ap.
preaching when we must look forward
to the sound OF the last trumpet. LIST
us cherish the memory of those who
have gone before us, dying nobly ON
the field Of battle, leaving US legacy
OF honor and glory.
The Hon. ]. G. Peterborough and
Sam r House were made secretaries.
Mr.. Thomas Eason was then elected
permanent shsirman and made ing
ing speech which captured the crowd.
The soldiers of the Confederacy, he
said, fought nobly for principle, but
had long ago accepted the arbitrament
of war. He concluded with the re-
mark that though the banner had no
warrior band 10 hold it aloft, there
were brave men aud noble women
left who would embalm it forever in
their hearts.
The veterans then marched TO the
grove, a quarter OF mile away, where,
under spreading oak, dozsns of little
children wearing dresses of red, white
and blue were seated upon platform,
and from which Miss Thompsie Will
Jams charmingly delivered the follow
ing:
