It can be truthfuly said that the an

the most enjoyable events in the his
tory of Brunswick and the occasion
brought old age and young manhood
together ini the common cause of hon
oring an organization which has such
a glorious history.
Members of the company, in uni
form. were in the receiving line and
every guest wag made to feel that he
was welcome. Promptly at 8 o’clock
the scores were invited into the long
north room where a sumptuous feast
was spread on tables which were tyell
filled, After the invocation by
W. F. Symons the Inner man was Ap
peased after which the real program
started.
Reminiscences by J. J. Spears and
Henry Holmes, original members of
the company, delighted the many
hearers. J. J. Smith, the third of the
then boys who marched off with the
Riflemen in 1860, was also present.
Among the former commanders who
delighted the assemblage with narra
tives of different periods in the his
tory of the organization were W. P.
Symons, I* A. Robinson, C. A. Taylor,
E. C. Butts. The tales of the ’Sixties
as told last night, were of an Inter

pany’s history. MaJ. Pope made a
splendid talk and highly compliment

today as a part of the First Georgia

Capt. Harwell and his officers de
