upon them in every way. The cafe
was decorated in Confederate colors
and the Springstein 'Cornet band was
present and furnished splendid music
When the band played Dixie" the
spirits Of some of the old fellows could
not be controlled and they broke into
that rip-roaring yell-that famous
rebel yell" which thrills the hearer to
the bone, but which cannot be re-
produced by pen or musical instru-
ment or by any throat save that OF q
Confederate soldier when the excite
ment of conflict or memory Of 1t Is on
him. Rev. DR.. Lingle opened the din
ner with prayer. After the feast,
