Of rifles so as to make more noise,
headed by the oldest private OF the
company, James Carver, who is also
a veteran of the Civil War. was drawn
up at the south end of the station, and
as the train pulled in they fired three
volleys as salute to the officers whom
they admire and respect.
The first to appear was Captain
Lovejoy. who stepped from the parlor
car with a happy smile upon his face
to see the groups of friends standing
about. every one rushing in his direc-
ton to get chance to clasp his hand
once more. He shows that he has
been Ill by the extremely yellow hue
Of his face, but otherwise he appeared
In good health. He has had time since
his illness to recover little of the lost
flesh and strength.
When Lieut.. Savage was seen, he
was attempting to help his father. who
met the party at Gardiner, pull the
coat of blue closer about his shoulders.
He did not lack for assistance. and he
was helped from the car and to the
hack. leaning upon the shoulders Of
his father and John Newman. He
smiled happily though feebly at the
words of cheer from his friends. He
is still very weak from the illness, but

will be stronger after a rest from the
long journey which was very trying to
one in his condition. After he had
been helped into the carriage three
ringing cheers were given for him by
the crowd, followed by three for Cap
tain Lovejoy.
Lieut.. Savage was at once driven to
his home on theA East side. While
waiting for ahe hack which was to
take him home, Captain Lovejoy held
an informal reception on Commercial
street, and for many minutes his hand
was continuously shaken.
Soon the hack arrived, and with Mrs
Lovejoy, his father and brother Frank
he was driven home. Private Carver
occupied seat beside the driver. with
the Stars and Stripes which floated
over the captain on his drive through
the streets.
Augusta is glad to welcome back
these two brave and popular officers
and wishes them a speedy restoration
to their usual good health.
