The Fourth Wisconsin Regiment.

(From the Admission, Alabama, Hot Blast.)
With the mastering out of the
Fourth Wisconsin regiment, which
event will take place, according to
the present program, on next Tues
day, will be the severing, for a time
at least. OF many warm friendships in
Admission.
To the people of Admission the mem
bers of the Fourth Wisconsin, both
officers and men. have become as
brothers and neighbors. The hardy
sons of the North have won, not only
the highest admiration of the people,
but their warm friendship and person
al esteem as well, and the very gem
eral verdict among Annistonians is
that it has been good and pleasant to
have the the Wisconsin boys with us.
Through them this portion of the
South at least has been drawn nearer
and closer to the North in bonds of
friendship and brotherly love
The Fourth Wisconsin is model
regiment. 1t has always been con-
sidered by Annistonians, ever since
the day af its arrival from Camp
Douglas, as superior organization,
both from a military and social
standpoint. The educational stand
ard in the regiment is higher than
any other regiment sent to Camp
Ship, as evidenced by the number
of letters written in the regiment
and by the large number of newspa-
pers and periodicals subscribed for and
read by the mem bers. 1t is matter
of record that the members of the
Fourth Wisconsin have bought and
used more postage stamps, wrote more.
letters and have read more newspapers
since they have been here than any
other regiment at Camp Shipp.
The standard of morality in the
Fourth is of very high order. The
men of the regiment have figured less
in police court annals, have INDUCED
in fewer brawls and rough houses and
have been less given to debauchery
than those of almost any other volun-
teer military organization in the SER
vice. and it is a matter of record in
Admission that the Fourth Wisconsin
is in this respect the best regiment
Camp Shipp has had.

WELCOME HON E.
Company c. Receive
Marked Honor on Re
turn to Lancaster.

Last Thursday evening was the
date set for the return of the Lancas-
ter contingent of the Fourth Wiscon-
sin from Camp Shipp, Alabama, and
our citizens. headed by the w. r. c.
and G. A. r. orders, gave them right
royal welcome. Members of the post,
the Lancaster Cornet band and citi-
zens to the number of thousand or
more had gathered at the station as a
reception committee. Some disap-
pointm emit was experienced on learn
ing that only part of the soldiers
were on the train and that the others
would not arrive until eight or ten
hours later on a special. However,
the program was carried out as origi-
nally planned. The soldiers were es-
corted by the band and ''boys of '61"
TO the post hall where an elaborate
spread had been prepared by the w.
r. G.. ladies to which the soldiers,
their relatives and others did ample
justice
After the meal was finished and the
tables removed Mrs. Starr, president
of the corps, called the meeting to or
der and announced in order pro-
gram which had been hastily made.
1t was expected to have an address
from Lieut.. Dodd containing a his
tory of the Fourth but his absence
prevented this feature of the program.
DR.. Edwards gave the formal adj
dress of welcome which may be found
in another column. His remarks were
followed by vocal quartette by Miss
es Nora Knapp and Thyrza Mitchell
and Messrs. Roy Knapp and Frank
lockwood; recitation by Florence
Bradley; vocal solo by Miss Mitchell;
and short addresses by Alex Ivey, c..
r. Showalter, Rev. L. j. Brown, Mrs.
Catherine Strong and Rev. Morgans,
which was interspersed with choice
music by the band and samples of
bugle calls by Melvin Goodrich, one
of the 4ths buglers at Camp Shipp.

Address of Welcome.

Hail. Lancaster, at the reception given to
returning soldier boys from Camp Ship,
Admission, Ala, March 2. 1897
Returned Soldiers Of Company c., 4h
Wisconsin:
To say that you are welcome home
again is TO state our feelings very
mildly. 1t is not necessary to say
even this much. You can read the
welcome in the faces of your friends,
you can feel it in their cordial hand
clasp, you may hear it in their words
of cheer and congratulations on your
return, you may know it by the prep
arations made to receive you, and the
numbers that gathered together to
meet you at the depot-by the num-
oers here tonight,
Their welcome is none the less cor
dial from the fact that you have had
no opportunity to show your valor
on the battle field, that you return
not to us battle Scared, wounded or
racked with pestilential Cuban fevers.
that you come not upon crutches or
swinging armless sleeves. And glad
we are that you do not. In our well
come we would not discriminate be-
tween you and your comrades who
have gone farther and Jared worse
You are as welcome as if you had
captured Santiago or stormed I'll
Caney, and you are in better trim.
You have no traces of having been
fed on canned meat or refrigerated
beef and doubtless were not. And
vet you have done what the bravest
did. You offered your lives on the
altar of your country's honor and then
patiently did your bidding as soldiers;
YOU could do nothing more. 1t is the
first duty of the soldier to obey orders
and to 90 where sent. 1t is not his
prat to choose the field of conflict and
the post of danger. You may have
been and doubtless were disappointed
because no government ships were
sent to carry you across the summer
seas to the isles where glory was to
be won.
1t was your fortune to pitch your
tents under the magnolias and pines
of Alabama and to 60 through the
monOtonous round OF camp duties
while your comrades were winning
the warriors wreaths of laurels on
battle plains. But so it was. You
couldn't help it. Still there were
compensations for the disappoint-
ment. You were doing your duty
where you were placed. You were
an armed force in reserve. The fact
that there were such reserves is a
factor in the success of those fighting
on the field. Spain was made TO an
derstand that there were many such
in easy call. The leaders knew those
whom they met in battle to be only
the advance guard of the great Amer
lean army. They knew there were
more to follow, and that at the call
countless host Of those not yet enlisted
would swell your ranks, that they
would come las the waves come
when nayies were stranded And

who shall say that this knowledge of
the reserve power of the American
nation did not hasten their surrender?
The active soldier and the reserve
stand side by side. There is no diff
ference between them. When you
enlisted it was with no other thought
than marching to the front and facing
the more or less deadly Spanish
musketry and artillery. You were
prepared, expectant, anxious to File

a camp in Alabama. Do you know
the meaning of that name. Alabama?
1t was given to it by the early explor-
ers from an Indian name which
means "There we rest You did not
expect it at the time but they march

southern states, and there you rested,

an honor because of the worthiness of
the occasion, the high character of
those who welcome you and those
who are welcomed. 1t is privilege
because the last months of my own
army life, ended May, thirty-four
years ago, were spent in Alabama
.'Tenting on the old camp ground"

beautiful state. / could tell you a
story of our not unpleasant sojourn
there, but the time has come when
the veterans of the G.. A. r. must sur
render their storytelling privileges to
Younger soldiers, to their own sons
and grandsons it may be. Your eX-
periences may be as thrilling as were
ours and even more varied but they
are of the same class and illustrate
the same high principle of devotion
to the interests of the same country
and loyalty to the same glorious flag.
But this occasion reminds me of
our return from Alabama. We had
done some fighting and more garrison
ing of cities. The hot summer was
upon us and we were wearied with
what seemed to US needless duties.
We were dreaming of, thinking of,
longing for home. Home never
seemed to us so beautiful as then.
Finally one day when we were tired
waiting, the bands as if with one ac-
cord struck up the music of Home,
Sweet Home" most loved of all Amer
national melody. We knew what it
meant. We should strike the home
ward trail. We should revisit our
loved northern homes, look again up
on the bright lakes and green fields
of Wisconsin and Minnesota, look
again upon the castellated bluffs of
our own Mississippi, and more than
all upon the faces of our loved friends
at home. We were young fellows
then, most of us not older than the
soldier boys of the Spanish-Cuban
war. And home meant as much to us
as it does to you.
In the full memory of the cordial
welcome that we received, brought
wildly to mind on this occasion, and
in behalf of the veterans of the Grand
Army, of the members of the Woman's
Relief Corps, who have spared no
pains to make this occasion enjoyable,
in behalf of your friends. noighbors
and of nearer and dearer ones, bid
you one and all cordial welcome
