T1he most eminent historians and authorities of this (lay acknowledge this. He paid a beautiful tribute to the men who wore the gray and was ap plauded for his most appropriate addr'ess. After this add(ress the band played and several of the veter' ans made short talks. Among those who made talks wvas Rev. B. Holder, who is 92 years old and wvas the oldest man present.
