  A 
  short 
  reference 
  to 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  mile-stones 
  in 
  the 
  com- 
  

   pany's 
  history 
  cannot 
  fail 
  to 
  be 
  interesting 
  to, 
  at 
  least, 
  the 
  

   former 
  and 
  present 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  body, 
  wherever 
  these 
  

   lines 
  may 
  reach 
  them. 
  " 
  The 
  boys'' 
  will 
  remember 
  the 
  4th 
  

   of 
  July, 
  1879, 
  in 
  Winston. 
  Indeed, 
  how 
  could 
  they 
  forget 
  

   the 
  glad 
  scenes 
  of 
  that 
  day 
  — 
  the 
  marching, 
  the 
  music, 
  the 
  

   concourse 
  of 
  people; 
  Salem 
  Square 
  at 
  night, 
  with 
  its 
  thou- 
  

   sand 
  colored 
  lights; 
  its 
  velvet 
  carpet 
  of 
  green 
  grass; 
  its 
  

   stately 
  poplars 
  and 
  elms, 
  with 
  their 
  soft 
  luxuriant 
  foliage 
  — 
  

   a 
  fairy 
  land, 
  in 
  fact, 
  and 
  chivalrous 
  youth 
  and 
  maidenly 
  

   beauty 
  were 
  its 
  occupants 
  that 
  night. 
  But, 
  should 
  memory 
  

   fail 
  tlu-m 
  as 
  to 
  these, 
  the 
  remembrance 
  of 
  the 
  warm 
  recep- 
  

   tion 
  and 
  gracious 
  hospitality 
  of 
  the 
  Winston 
  Light 
  Infantry 
  

   would 
  ever 
  remain 
  green 
  — 
  a 
  joy, 
  a 
  lasting 
  charm. 
  

  

  PRESENTATION 
  OF 
  FLAG. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  fall 
  of 
  1S70 
  the 
  sincere 
  interest 
  felt 
  by 
  the 
  ladies 
  

   of 
  Durham 
  prompted 
  them 
  to 
  donate 
  to 
  the 
  company 
  a 
  

   hands(nnely 
  embroidered 
  silk 
  flag, 
  which 
  could 
  not 
  have 
  cost 
  

   less 
  than 
  one 
  hundred 
  and 
  seventy-five 
  dollars 
  — 
  in 
  every 
  

   sense 
  an 
  appropriate 
  gift 
  — 
  and 
  so 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  love 
  of 
  home 
  

   and 
  the 
  innocent 
  ones 
  there 
  remain, 
  so 
  long 
  will 
  this 
  beauti- 
  

   ful 
  ensign 
  be 
  honored 
  even 
  at 
  the 
  cost 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  ruddy 
  drop. 
  

   The 
  j»resentation 
  ceremonies 
  took 
  place 
  at 
  the 
  Grand 
  Cen- 
  

   tral 
  Hotel. 
  Mrs. 
  J. 
  B. 
  Whitaker, 
  in 
  a 
  graceful 
  and 
  appro- 
  

   priate 
  .speech, 
  tendered 
  the 
  flag, 
  responded 
  to 
  by

  The 
  *20th 
  May, 
  ISSO, 
  was 
  truly 
  a 
  celebration 
  day 
  in 
  the 
  

   history 
  of 
  the 
  Durham 
  Light 
  Infantry. 
  The 
  Orange 
  Guards 
  

   of 
  Hillsboro, 
  Winston 
  Light 
  Infantry 
  and 
  Danville 
  Greys 
  

   were 
  the 
  guests 
  of 
  the 
  Company, 
  and 
  everything 
  that 
  could 
  

   be 
  done 
  was 
  done 
  to 
  make 
  their 
  stay 
  pleasant. 
  The 
  troops 
  

   were 
  quartered 
  in 
  the 
  west 
  wing 
  of 
  the 
  then 
  W. 
  T. 
  Black- 
  

   well 
  cV 
  Co.'s 
  large 
  brick 
  factory. 
  The 
  programme 
  was 
  such 
  

   as 
  is 
  usual 
  on 
  similar 
  occasions 
  — 
  marching, 
  parading, 
  ora- 
  

   tions, 
  and 
  the 
  like. 
  At 
  night 
  the 
  large 
  brick 
  warehouse, 
  

   now 
  owned 
  and 
  occupied 
  by 
  Capt. 
  E. 
  J. 
  Parrish, 
  presented 
  

   a 
  scene 
  which 
  has 
  never 
  before 
  nor 
  since 
  been 
  duplicated 
  in 
  

   Durham. 
  A 
  table 
  groaning 
  under 
  all 
  the 
  delicacies 
  and 
  

   substaiitials 
  which 
  the 
  barbecuer, 
  the 
  grocer 
  and 
  the 
  skilled
