evening. a very interesting ceremony
took place on the parade grounds of
the First Regiment-the presentation
of elegant swords to Col. Clarence
Smith, of the First Regiment, and to
Lieut-Col Charles n. Sims, of the
Second West Virginia Regiment. The
presentation speech was made by Maj.
~. w. Scott, commanding the first
battalion, who said that no one had
done more for the State Guard than
Col. Smith. He had been connected
with 1t ever since its organization; had
always worked heart and soul for the
good of the Guard, and was an officer
loved by every man in his COM
mand. Speaking of Col. Sims, he said
that he had kept the regiment together
when it would, perhaps, have been
disorganized, and that the soldiers felt
that they owed him debt Of graft
tude He was man for whom they all
had the highest regard.
In response, Col. Smith said that a
surprise could not be greater. He APP
preciated it from the depths of his
heart. and whether or not he was con-
neloted with the regiment long, he
would ever remember it's brave boys.
He loved them every one, and loved
the First Regiment, which would be
willing to respond 70 any call that its
country might make at any time Col.
Smith made feeling response. He
was always q and willing to serve
the Guard in ..Iy way. In conclusion,
he said he loved the whole push"
