armed and uniformed troop with
sabres and replica of the Confederate
war uniform. Two or three infantry
commands in typical war time Confed-
crate uniforms and forage caps, and
armed with the old-time muskets, pre-
scented q soldierly appearance, and
marched with as good alignment as the
younger men. Their old and faded uni

appearance made a pathetic sight as
they stepped to the music Of the bands
and the drums.

q gray suit and soft hat, was ap-

Of age. The aged soldier who won
his title IN real war, sat his horse ad-
mirably. and was kept almost con-

| two rode side by side, and were easily
recognizable from tho picture OF them
