emony. But the joy of the home

yew organizations were out formal
ly to 'meet the Unit, but far better,
everybody was out Informally to
meet it, and the smiles and the hand
shakes and the light in the eyes of
ths home folk was far better to the
tome-comers than any amount of
formal speechmaking could ever have
besn.
The short welcome accorded them
by Judge Kerr and the city fathers
vhen they appeared before the re
viewing stand were a sufficient evi
dence of the feeling which! the city
v-ished to formally express.
The program! in brief- was a pa
rade, a short welcome, dinner at the
Phoenix and an hour's visit with the
home folks.
The dinner at the hotel was a
ivmitiful affair.
" 1S every soldier and nurse there
was apportioned informally a number
of beautiful young girls and matrons,
who assisted in serving them the de
licious dinner. Pink and white car
nations and roses were the decora
tions. At 7:15 the unit left for Camp
Taylor, after spending the four hapf
piest hours m its experience.
Besides- the former Bourbon county
members of the Unit who had previ
ously received their discharge from
the service, John H. Mogan and
