about the funeral car. 4 heart OF
roses and floral shields from the
ladies and FROM Confederate veter-
ans Of Lee county, Ala, were put
on board. At West Point the crowd
was denser, if possible, than at Ope-
hka. The children had the day
here. Every boy and girl had q
magnolia or cspe 'essamine, which
they passed up 70 the veterans. The
ladies handed up more elaborate
offerings. Those on the outer cir
cles Of the crowd passed them over
to those in front. At Lagrange

little distance from the side Of the
track. The solid wall Of ladies' and
children lined the road for about
$50 yards.

fired volley after volley as the train

With the exception Of. one wreath Of

era, the memorial tribute of the
old Confederate soldiers of that
city, there were no floral tokens on
the casket outside of those of the
Louisiana veterans and ladies of
New Orleans till Besuvoir was
reached. But if the other points
contribute as we'll in that respect it
will take one Car for the flowers.
The rich uniform of the Governor
of Louisiana was heavily laced in
gold, every officer being in full
dress. The gray uniforms of the
men of the united Confederate vet
erans, badges and buttons of the
other veterans most of them worn
with red and white ribbon and the
familiar gray slouch hat make the
cars present striking appearance.
The grave and dignifed appearance
of the veteran escort is psrticu 'arly
notable. The generals, colonies and
privates have the air OF performin g
the sacred duty and each bears
equally his turn in standing guard

At Beauvoir, Mr.. Davis old home,
the track and station platform had
beed carpeted with the most beauti-

the momory of one whose declining
years had been passed at that place.
It had been expected that the escort
would have time to visit the Davis

short for this purpose. Gen. and
