ne JACKSON WarO hepuD1c0n6 had a
grand torch flight procession last Mou-
day night. The clouds had lowered
and a heavy rain fell during the early
part of the evening but by 3 O'Clock
they had lifted and barring the muddy
condition of the street and the high
wind, there was no serious inconveni-
eDce to those who desired to participate
THE PROCESSION MOVES.
The procession moved from the resid-
ence of Alderman John Mitchell. Jr..
714k N. I'D Street.
The streets few moments preceding
were apparently deserted and the dripz
ping limbs of trees gave a sombre ap-
pearanee to all around
1t was surprising to see In whet
short space of time these same thor
ough fares could be filed with a mass OF
people.
The First Battalion Band plaved
"Rally Round the Flag, Boys'' and
from every quarter came young and old.
The torches were lighted end the tr ans
parencies brought out.
AN AMUSING FEATURE.
One of the most amusing features of
the parade was the company OF young
men under command OF capt. james
Hill all of whom wore beavers some OF
which might have been handed down
from the Revolutionary sires.
The magnificent display wss headed
by Mr.. Charley Young, the Chief Mar
shall, who was supported by other
marshals, mounted upon spirited AMI
mails. Among these were Messrs. Alex.
ander Gaines, John Morris, Gray. r.
II. Glover and Others whose names we
