poor in worldly goods but rich in the
glory won on stricken fields and that
honor which gives history its glorious
pages, driving away the blush that rises
from some dark deed that demands record
ing and lighting its story with devotion
TO principles and cause and valiant
struggles against mighty odds.
They are the veterans who are unable
to pay the expenses of their stay in Sa-
Vannah. By some careful economy or
self-denial they have been able to get
mere, saving as best they might in order
TO gather together the railroad fare neces-
sary, knowing that the promises of the
committee of Savannah veterans might be
relied upon and that once here. they
would find bed and board provided for
them.
Such has been the case. At Turner Hail
and Hibernian Hall the INDECENT veterans
are quartered, cots occupying the spa cious
halls and Offering repose to the frames
that withstood so nobly the trials and
hardships of the sixties. There they slept
last night some of them the night before,
and there they viii sleep tonight. In that
care of their less fortunate fellow soldiers
by those upon whom fortune has not look
ed askance, is found a pretty lesson, and
the comradeship is an exemplification of
that love and devotion that bound those
men together when united in a common
cause.
Many of the old soldiers are not only in
digents, but cripples as well. The scars
OF battle are borne by neatly all, but upon
some war has set its indelible mark, show
Ing its terrors in MANNED limbs or stricken
bodies. Empty sleeves and wooden legs
are'not uncommon upon the streets of Sa-
vannah to-day, and among the INDECENT
veterans the percentages is greater than
among those who have yet remaining the
regulation number of arms and legs.
