the parade was that section OF II en-

THEY KISSED THE FLAG.
One OF the touching incidents OF the pa
rade occurred as the carriage containing
Mrs. Davis and her daughter passed down
Broad street between Fffth aud Sixth. The
Augusta (Ga) Camp was facing the vehi-
Giles. and as the two ladies passed the
Cobb Legion rag. born by that organiza-
ton. they each grasped the banner and
kissed II devoutly. The yociferous cheer
ing that followed this act can scarcely be
ina gined.
