VETERANS DRILL FIRST TIME IN 50 YEARS MEMBERS OF MEADE POST, NO. 2, SHOULDER ARMS BEFORE BIG CROWD For the first time in over 50 years. 11 members of Meade post. No. 2, Grand Army of the Republic, should dered guns Saturday, and before a crowd of hundreds at Gladstone park went through the manuel or arms and drills In the same way as during war times. Commander ot the Post Clyde acted as commander. The little group of men formed Into line before the grandstand. Each had some little touch of color, carefully peraerved and each stood erect, head and shoulders back, but of the 11 there were a few leaning heavily on their guns. The announcer called out the next number on the program and the band on the far side of the ball diamond, where the drill was held struck up "Marching Through Georgia." Commander Clyde, himself a trifle bent, stepped to the head of the column of ten and gave a command. The veterans marched across the field and back again, and then baiting before the grandstand, went through the manuel of arms. The band con tinued with "Marching Through Georgia," but the applause, which was almost continuous, was louder at times than even the loud boom of the base drum. Here and there in the cr jwd there was an uncovered head and mur ine rs of honest reverence and respect were heard everywhere. If a poor girl had hair of spun gold some folks would say It looked like corn molaases.
