York Soldier Boys Home Again

Company A arrived in York at 2:45 this morning, and was greeted by more than a 
thousand people at the depot, notwithstanding the fact that their late arrival 
was a great disappointment to the citizens generally.

The company left Camp McKenzie, Augusta Georgia, at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, 
and was thirty-four hours on the road.  About seven hours the company was side 
tracked close to Lynchburg, where a wreck on the main tracks caused a delay.  
The company broke ranks immediately and the tired soldiers hastily h----- up 
thier homes.

A formal reception will be given the returned volunteers this evening.  A large 
parade will take place, and a banquet be served to the soldier boys at the 
Colonial Hotel.
