to the Strathmore hotel. thence north
on Fourth street to Macon avenue,

thence south on Fifth street TO Main
street,thence east to the Canon Hotel

disbafded. There were groups repre-
senting the various patriotic orders
affiliated with the G. A R. notably
from the Woman's Relief Corps, the
Ladies of the G. 4. r., and the Daugh-
ters of Veterans, in the parading col
umu.
There were $50 old soldiers in line
and they presented a martial ap-
pearance as they marched through the
streets. although the halting, faltering
steps of a few OF them showed that
Father Time was sapping the strength
of these splendid BOYS OF 81" who
fought at Shiloh. Atlanta. Corinth
and Cold Harbor. at Gettysburg and
Antietam. at Vickshurg and Fort Don

Custer, Merritt. Thomas and other
great captains OF the war. some OF
them in the Army Of the Tennessee,
some in the Army OF the Potomac and
others in commands OF no less tmper
