accountable obstacles which have
arisen to delay the event, the boys Of
Company Il, with the exception of four
Or five members, arrived at Grange
vile Sunday night on the delayed train,
and were given royal reception at the
hands of our citizens. The weather
was most unpr0pitious, the wind blow
ing a gale and carrying the fine snow
with an almost irresistible driving
force: but nothing daunted, the citi-
zens to the number of several hundred
gathered at the depot and with the
band and torch light procession es-
eorted the soldier boys to their bar
racks from which place they dispersed
to their homes and to the hotels, where
arrangements had been made for those
without homes
Upon receiving word that the train
had left Fem, nine miles west, the
church bells, fire bell, steam whistles
and the snow pillow engine all burst
forth in a medley of discordant noises
