 But there's a land l hope we'll see, Where, there's no sorrow, and no wars | Where there's an endless reville,
 Which Angels sing beyond the stars. Goodbye, beloved friends, goodbye, Our lives are passing fast away, | Like clouds that neck the lilac sky, Or moths that round the candle play. | A few more years twill be at best.
 When all of us who wore the gray, Wiu have passed. lets hope, to rest,
 Awaiting that last judgment day. Goodbye once more. a last goodbye, | Together here no more we'll meet,
 Our friendship though shall never die, | A soldiers love knows no deceit. There Is a bond as strong as steel. l That binds Us as the day to night; l That is, that we shall always feel,
 That what we did was for the right.
 The formal exercises closed with Dix
 ie" played by the orchestra and sung by | the veterans.
 Great Crowd at ReceptionJ The reception which followed was at-
 tended by one of the greatest throngs
 that has ever gathered in Montgomery. The Auditorium. Council Chamber and
 all the adjoining rooms were thrown | open for the social intercourse of the
 hostesses and their guests. In the Council Chamber punch was
 served. The room was brightly decorat-
 ed in red and white bunting, and Con-
 federate flags. Over the punch table was
 the tattered old flag of the Autauga
 Rifles which has been recently presented

 was adorned with red and white roses. Refreshments of a delicious and sub | stantial character were served. The | crush was remarkable but despite the
 throngs which seemed to multiply as the | evening drew on, the veterans were
 served, and seemed to enjoy the spirit of
 the occasion to the utmost. Beautiful women, handsomely gowned.
