CADETS AND SCOUTS
TO UANL: PART IN PARADE.

Marching with the soldiers in tn"
parade will be the Boy Scouts of Rich
mond and tho John Marshall High
school Cadets.
The First Regiment Band and kess-
nichs Band will also form :. part OF
the procession. state aud ciiy officials
will probably ride at tho head OF the
line.
- have nothing 10 d" with a parade.
but ! am heartily in favor of IT. SAID
Acknowledgement Sale yesterday. The
soldiers made u fine appearance after
their long period Of training on the
border. and hope many people who
missed seeing them when they arrived
will yet have Il chance. The parade
ought to have a good effect in arous-
ing military enthusiasm and in causing
young men TO join the militia.
The state military authorities have
no control over the troops until they
are mustered out OF tho Federal service.
| understand that Governor Stuart will
review the First Regiment If nc is
here at the time Of the parade. There
is some doubt as To his being in Rich
mond next week"
