The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1914-10-16
Friday Morning.


Friday Morning.
The parade was to have been the
crowning event of one of the most
glorious reunions, but the rain fell all
night and during the early morning
hours. DIR. McRee and his aides, w.
B. Stovall and DIR. w. NJ. Turner, as
soon as the clouds began to break, as
sembled the troops and the line was
formed and began to move. But no
sooner had this been done than heavy
downpour began to fall. The line COM
prised Troop A at the head OF the pa
rade with 65 men under Capt. Frank
Anderson, Forrest cavalry, from Nash
vile, the only organization Of cavalry
in the South. With this company was
Miss Martha Handy as sponsor. Tnen
came Capt. Hewlett with Company B,
Capt. Sadler with Company G, and
Capt. Hugh Mcdonald With Company
E, followed by almost the entire dele
cation of old soldiers here, numbering
about 600 men. On horseback were a
number of young ladies in red and
white, with their escorts.
The rain prevented the old soldiers
from going to the fair grounds for bar
becue, but barbecue dinner was served
in one of the buildings uptown. About
700 were fed and provisions for many
more left over. Twenty-seven carcasses
were served with an abundance Of other
choice meats and delicacies, the finest
that Tennessee affords. Every visiting
veteran was well housed and overflow
ing with praise for the kindness and
generosity pisthe Union City people
The occasion was remarkable in many
respects. Old men in the seventies and
eighties were as gay as boys and kept
the streets lively with their jokes and
pranks. They swarmed the movies and
kept things moving all the time, and
left Union City with ''God bless you,
I have never met a better people in my
life. \
