FORTY-SECOND GEORGIA
MET IN ANNUAL REUNION
Little grottiw of nged men. nomd bent
with toll and InHrmlty, some still erect
and energetic, filled tha sidewalk In
front of the court house Saturday
morning. Many of the men wore bits
of faded ribbon, pinned to well-worn
coals with the bronxe cross of the
Southern legion of honor. There were
greetlnge In familiar tones as Home new
comrade came with halting etepe to
Join the groups on the sidewalk under
the cool shadow of the building. It was
the reunion of the Forty-second regl-
ment.
Forty-five years ago the Forty-sec
ond Georgia marched away, 1.200
strong, with new gray uniforms, under
a strange banner, with red and white
bars. Saturday morning not more
than 125 nt the regiment answered to
their names. Some were too far away
to reach the reunion, others too en
feebled by age or sickness. Hut the
great majority of the absentees had un-
awered Ihe last roll and passed on to
the silent bivouac of the spirit army.
But the men who come Were the
same young fellows who murched away
that summer to battle for live years
for the cause they felt was right. Just
as young In spirit, Juat as full of love
for their country. The atmosphere of
the armv pervaded the reunion, the
generations since the great conflict
were swept from the memory and the
comrades of long ago became comrades
again for a day. The little grodps
talked In cracked voices of the day*
at Manassas, In the Wilderness, at the
siege of Vicksburg. They fought again
tha battle* of bygone daya, they laugh
cd over metdorles of camp ground
Jokaa.
Colonel Thomas Still at Head.
Colonel L. P. Thomas, who com
manded the regiment through the close
of the war, Is still nt the hend of the
Forty-second Georgia. He beara hla age
better tlmn moat of the veterans and
he had a good word for ever}’ man
Saturday. Dr. W. M. Durham, the sec
retary, called the roll front a Itook
which has done service for yeurs. Con
gressman Livingston apjtcared before
the exercises began and occupied a seat
on the ldntfurm. He was quartermaa
ter throughout the war.
The roll tvaa a long one. It began
with <’oiit|iany A, and continued
through the many oompanles of the
regiment, but the responses to the
names were few. Occasionally the sec-
retuVy would pause after reading a
nnnte ns If expecting a reply when from
u distant corner of the hall some voice
would answer, "Dead." Age has made
tnnny Inroads In the regiment since the
lass reunion.
The speaker of the day tvaa Thomas
, a. Jeffries, who welcomed the veteruns
‘on behalf of Atlanta nnd the officers
nt the association. Bhort talks, remin
iscences of the great ’war and reports
of deaths among the members occupied
the remainder of the meeting. At noon
u number of the veterans boarded the
special cars and paid a visit to the fa
miliar ground where Ihe buttle of At
lanta was fought, while others remain
ed to enjoy the watermelons provided
by the officers.
