sections. The Union station was filled
with relatives of the returning soldiers,
and when the trains arrived all rushed
to the cars to greet the members of the
regiment. After the greetings were
over the soldiers marched to the large
freight house of the Nashville, Chatta-

The First Tennessee Volunteers,
which enjoys the distinction of having
been the last of the volunteer regi-

ish-American war to be mustered out,
were welcomed at Nashville last week
by tens of thousands of their friends
and neighbors. Large crowds came in
from many neighboring towns to do
honor to Col. Childers' boys. They
were greeted by Gov. McMillin and his
offisial family; were fed until they
could contain no more, and then turned
over to eager relatives and friends,
whose banquets, Publications, presents
tions of swords and gifts and other
manifestations of affection and admira-
ton lasted well into the night.
The regiment was reviewed by the
State and city officials, after a parade
which was participated in by thousands
of marching veterans, militiamen and
civic societies. The city was literally
decorated in honor of the returning
soldiers and no effort was spared to
make their greeting all that they could
desire.
