Tuscaloosa, October .-(special)-The
peace jubilee in Tuscaloosa was a great
success.
Not even the recent celebration of the
rompletion of the new road drew the crowds
that thronged the streets today. Excursion
trains brought hundreds of pleasure seek
ers. Country people rolled into town on
wagons and over one hundred citizens of
Brookwood drove over in private convey
ances. There was a general gathering of
war veterans.
AT noon the dummies carried large por-
ton of the crowd to Lake Lorraine, where
they were treated to a regular old-fash-
toned barbecue. AT three there, was
toned barbecue. At 8 o'clock there was a
general gathering of visitors and citizens
on the main streets to see the great pa
rade.
The procession was headed by the Brook
wood brass band Next following was the
carriage containing Mayor Jemison, oGv-
ernor Johnston and Attorney General Fits.
General George Johnston, Colonel Bank
head, Major Brandon, Colonel Stansel and
other distinguished persons in their carri-
ages came next, and after these a picked
company of boys ranging from to 10 years,
cadets of the Werner Military institute,
the Alabama corps of cadets, the War
rior Guards and trade display of floats,
wagons, wagonettes. etc., representing the
different business interests in the city.
As the column passed the Washington
hotel company of little girls, dressed in
the natioanl colors, showered roses on the
u arrior Guards, while singing 1.-THE Red.

1t was universally regretted that Major

the programme.
Major Jemison in his speech paid hand
some tributes to the heroism of both Majors
Foster and Brandon. General Johnston in
PRODUCED each speaker in appropriate words
which were loudly applauded.
The Governor Spoke
1t was generally spoken that Governor
Johnston made the finest and happiest
speech he has ever delivered before Tus-
caloosa audience. Colonel Bankhead also
seemed inspired and made the speech of his
life, without word of politics. Major Bran
don's address was full of patriotic enthusi-
a.,r and eloquence.
At night there was brilliant pyrotechnic
display, and among the fine effects pro-
duced was the portrait of the only member
of the guards who did no return-J. F.
Blacksmith his familiar title burning above
''Happy Jack"
The L. T. F.s gave one of their SWEETEST
germans in honor of the occasion, which
was largely attended.
At the city hall general reception was
held to the guards and visitors, and the
gayety of a glorious day and jubilee was
made complete by a grand public ball and
carnival
