VETERANS OFt86L6S. .v Maeoo, Ga WH4 With Jay-Maa? Sol dier Paso Brforo Mr. Iavta-Ba4( , rresrnlatlaaa-Flre works, Kto. : . It was a glorious day for Macon. The 'swan aong of the Confederacy,'! the last review of- the Confederate veterans by the man who was tbeir chief, was a grand success,' and the wen, - who fol i iiwcd through the fortunes of war the dam and bars, were there in force to do honor to that former chieftain. The weather was decidedly unpropltious. ' At about 10:1) Joe Mount, clanda Estea. A. K. Freeman, W. C. 6herrill, J. T. Rosa, L. C. Gugel, Bui Hope, -Ab Jonea and W. A. Johnson, representing the lunimiiico oi iwenry-nve wnicn nas naa charge of the arrangements for the dem onstration, marched up to the beautiful residence which it Mr. Davia's Macon home. Mr. Davis, in response to the cnila apiieared upon the veranda, aur loundud by the members of his family. J oo Blount, chairman of the executive committee, stepped forward, and in a very pretty and appropriate speech ten. tiered to Mr. Davis a very doe badge: Tcara starU-d to Mr. Davis's eyes at he re ceived the tribute of affection and in a voice full f emotion he thanked the young men for their gift. He said : "My young countrymen: Words cannot ex jxcat my gratitude. I am proud to know that you hold in reverence the memory and principles of your fathers. I am glad of the fact that we are still a free people, and I assure yon this token will ever . be cherished by me. The badge consisted oi two broad pieces of ntUm with Georgia state flags pendant from the rosette. The top ribbon was a white one, and was one of the badges worn by the executive committee of the association, with the exception that it bora Mr. Davit's name. The second rib lon was a gray one, and bore, in gold letters, . the following legend : "Mr. Davis. .While the survivors of the Con federacy do honor to their chief talan, we their tons, remembering your faithful neat to and sufferings for them, join our ht'srta with their gratitude, and together pledge you eternal kve. Our prayer is Unit God, who has ever been just, may still care for yon and, when the end comet. crown your with glory that never fades in acaute that never dit." lhsn Mr. Mount turned to Miss Winnie and pre sented her with a similar badge, ' Cant J. L. Hardt man, Jr., of the Floyd Rifles, then stepped forward and presented to Mia Davia another badge, this time as a token of love from the Floyd Rifles.' This badge was a very pretty one a combination of tke Young lien's Veterans' badge and that of the military company. The ribbon of the Rifle contained a list of the various bat tles in which this famous company pr ticipated. The two ribbons were Joined by a pretty silver canteen. Short speeches were made at the bouse by Governor Gor don, Senator Colquitt and ex Governor Watts, the war governor of Alalmma. The young men wire introduced to the distinguished people, and after music by the band they naa taken with them, le- 1 From the time of the return of the young men from tlilcmt, the streets be gun to assume a decidedly lively apitcar- ante. They bad been .crowded before, but by noon "everything goea" seemed to be the motto. A cannon bad been placed ia portion oo Mulberry street, in front of the Lanier house, and this was fired at intervals of about live minutes. A yell went up with every ronnd. A yell tf joy, not of pain. The boys were putting happy, Macon prohibition liav leg begun to get in its work. Atone o'clock the line of veterans, under com mand rf Maj. William Hcfiry Ross, be gan to form on Mulberry atrcet. It was certainty a touching eight to see the nnimcd and battle-scarred veterans, as tiiry fell into line. Almost all of the Houtbrrn state were represented, but Georgians formed the bulk of the crowd. Here and there a bettered and bullet torn battle flag was to le seen, and the sight of it made the blood tingle and called for cheers from the crowd. It was nearly two o'clock when the pro-ts-aion moved. There was no liand in line, but the hearty yells and cheers, first from the veterans and then from the spectator, who lined the sidewalks, furnished the aweetest of antipbonal music. A courier waa sent ahead to inform C'apt. Johnson of the approach of alio column, A heavy and comfortable armchair had Item placed upon the veranda, and aa the head of the procession waa seen rounding the foot of the hill, Mr. Davis, Iraoir.g upon the arm of Capt. Johnson, and sur rounded by Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Hats, Mia Davis and Mrs. Johnson appeared. Mr. Davis sat in the chair wiih the ladies on either sldft. His appearance was the sig nal for loud cheering, and the crowds at the foot of the hill, disregarding the ad monitions of the two pol icemen who were suppoaed to keep the crowds back, clamberea over the fence and charged np the hill. Kaeh tried to get as ner Mr. Davla as possible, and the result waa a blockade right at the start. Mr. Da vis leaned over the ratling and shook hands with a few before the policemen and tome mounted soldiers sue cerded In clearing a space for the line of marchers. Governor and Mrs. Gordon and (tenator and Mrs. Colquitt were among the first to tske positions beaides the distinguished guests. Quite a number of prominent Atlanta and Ma con people took places on J he veranda. When U" veterans filed into yard tha Bibb county raval y veterans lead the line, and aa they passed, the members doffed their hats to Mr. Davis and cheered Id in Warmly. Then came the In. J fantry, There were probably two thous-, and men In line, and the spectators swelled the crowd to five thousaud. As tho leaders of the Infantry i cached the place .where sut the man they had came to hon or, they broke ranks aud amid tho great est excitement crowded to the veranda. It was a scene which one could never for get. Cheering tbeir old chieftain as Georgians alone can cheer, they crowded and jostled, pushing and pulling one an other I ko mdmcn, each intent upon getting as new Mr. Davis as ho cou'd. Then it looked as if the crowd, in its mad cnthusisMn, would tear Mr. Da via from ' tho veranda, which waa itself so crowded that it was almost jinXsible for those upon H to move. Realizing the necessity for action, Senator : Colquitt ' mounted the railing, and after several at tempts succeeded in tecuring compara tive quiet. , Then he urged the crowd to be lets demonstrative, calling etteution to Mr. Davis's feeble condition, and urg ing that they "shout for hint, worship him, but for his ots dear sake do not try to ahnke hands with him." For a time Mr. Davis remained in his ch:iir, content with bowing his acknowledge ment, but it was not long before his en thusiasm got the better of him, and he rose to his feet - It ' was evident that he had something, to any au4 in a moment there wa almost per fect silence. With his thin hand extend ed toward one of tho old fliiga near by, ho -said: "I ,am like that flag tattered by storms and - year. I love it' for its own take. I love it for even yours. . I love it aa a me mento of w hat your fathers did, and what they hoped you would do. God bliss you! I win see you again.1 The cheering of the crowd was deafen ing. There were cries of"Gordon,""Gor don," from all aides, and unable to refuse these appeals, Georgia's gallant governor stepped forward. There were loud cheers and then comparative silence as he said: "My brother soldiers, it is my infinite pleasure, in your behalf j to welcome' to J tnis great state ana to the hearts of the people the grand old chieftain." Govern or Gordon was frequently interrupted by wild cheering. At the conclusion of his remarks, the band-sbaking was resumed. It waa soon apparent that there would be no end to this if the veterans were al lowed to have their own way, and ar rangements were quietly made to get Mr. Davis in the house. - A window back of him was opened, and through it he walked into the sitting-room. Mr. Davis and the ladies rppeared npon the second story balcony, and from there they greet ed those below. Mr. Davis bowed in re sponse to the continued cheering. This lasted for some minutes, and after it was announced that Mr. Davis would go to the fair grounds, the crowd gradually melted away. As the crowd melted away from in front of the mansion, the dis tinguished guests took carriages, which were in waiting, and under escort of the Bibb County Cavalry, were driven to the fuir grounds. Mulberry street was crowded with people. The drive was a decided - ovation. Beaching , the grounds the carriages drove direct to the band stand, where a large crowd was In waiting. The grounds were full of veterans, who were bound to get another look at Mr. Davia. There waa a great deal of enthusiasm manifested, despite the fact that many of the people on the grounds were greatly interested ia the horse racing, snd did not seem to be aware of the presence of the distinguished visitors. Arriving at the stand .President Northen introduced Governor Gordon, who said a few words and introduced Gen. Clement A Evana, Gen. Jackson, and ex-Governor Watts, alio, by the way, ia the only surviving member of the Davis cabinet, who made ih'rt speeches. Then Gen. Henry R. Jackson was introduced, and made a speech. V.! - r . : . Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Ilsya and Mits Win nie were called for, and each bowed her ficknnwlcdgnicnls. Returning from the s'and the veterans crowded around, and tlx scenes of a few hours before came near being repeated Mr Davis got in to a close carriage, but some of the wild enthusiasts who wanted to shake his , hand broke in the glass with their AVts. The only haira done was to their vwa knuckles. The Davis party dmvo. back to Ilillcrcst; At half post seven o'clock the grand torchlight rrn esion of the Young Men's Veteran im btinn began to move from the Floyd Rifles armory up Mulberry street. . The display was an excellent one.and there were prolmbly 3,000 torches in line, l'asaing by the Johnston man sion, they were reviewed by Mr. Davis, who sat at a second-story window. Cheering, yelling and hurrahs and fire works wrre the evening's attractions.
