| mer," remarked one representative. 1.-THE
band had played quite number of popular
| airs, patriotic and otherwise, and as there
we're quite number of southerners present
| they were requested to play Dixie, and
such yell went up as never heard before
and don't think / could have raised my
voice to such a pitch of intensity as / did
| on that occasion. But we were a long way
from home, and the sound of our old
| favorite reminded us of home, and we
made the welkin ring"

the train left the city until it reached Tybee
