word was good enough the officers
we've permitted to keep their swords
and the soldiers their horses. He said
he loved the country, he loved the
State and by the grace of God he
would live and die in East Tennessee.
He reiterated the statement that if
the country should need the service
of her sons, the confederates would be
ready to rally to the country's call "a
they were to go out for the confeder-
ate cause in 1861.
He said 1t was the transmission OF
character that was the great thing to
leave to our children as their heritage
in preference to houses or lands or
fortune. Reference was made to the
integrity and uprightness of the late
Judge Jackson as an example worthy
of imitation.
The speaker closed with an eloquent
appeal to the people to be men and
women.
HON. II. II. INGERSOLL,
of Knoxville, then made an address
on making a Nation" He said that
he was proud to address the old con-
federates, his former enemies, hut for
the last thirty years his best friends.
He said he was happy to meet and
mingle with them in rejoicing in our
noble heritage. The address was main
ly on the strength and patriotism of
the nation, and the beauty of union
and of the freedom and the sovereign
rights of the people.
The exercises on the stage closed al
noon for more refreshing one just a
little distance away, where an abun
dant supply OF the products of the cul
linary art was rendered to all. The
dinner was served from large table
in the form OF hollow square, and
the refreshments thereon displayed the
freest hospitality of the good people Of
Johnson City.
THE PARADE.
At O'Clock the parade began with
800 veterans in the line OF march, Gen
John B. Gordon heading the process
sion.
Alter the march Gen. Gordon was
introduced from the stand in the
grove, his address being brief but elo
quent. In one OF his flights of clio
quence he said that the blush ofshame
had never yet come upon his cheek
for being a confederate soldier He
couldn't believe he was wrong, nor die
he believe the federals were wrong
but from the standpoint of each they
were both right, both patriotic, both
liberty loving, both fighting for theil
dearly beloved land. The time has
now come that both will stand shout
der to shoulder for the common de
tense of a united country's flag.
