SOUTHERN GlEANlNGS.
An Interesting Feature.

On OF the proposed features of the
United Confederate Veterans reunion
to be held at Louisville. Ky, May 30-3l
and June 1928, is naval parade on the
Ohio river under the direction of Col.
]. w. Dowles. Rev. NJ. NJ. Benton is
an enthusiastic member of his COM
mittee. He served in the confederate
navy. Comparatively little is known
OF the confederate navy, because its
deeds are over-shadowed by those or
the army. In 1861 confederate sailors
were still in the service of the United
States, and the momentous decision
must be made whether to go home to
fight for their native states, or remain
where they were. Many sent in their
designations, and yet had to fight in
the United States service five months
after having done so. Hundreds OF
miles of sea-coast were defended by
tugs and ferry-boats, which could only
serve to draw the Yankee vessels from
the forts so that provisions might en-
ter. DR.. Benton can give an interest

ida and the Alabama, and of the fight
