The Graves Of the Nations Defenders.
Tribute Of Beauty to Patriotism.

GLOW sleep the brave who sink to rest
BY all their country's wishes blest."
Notwithstanding tiie short notice given In
which 10 make the necessary preparations for
strewing the Graves Of our honorcd dead with
flowers, on Saturday last, and the approaching
storm at the hour appointed for the assembling
at the Courthouse, there was about i've TO six
hundred persons present who seemed dctermin
cd on taking the chances Of getting wet rather
than miss taking part in the grateful tribute TO
the nations defenders.
The various committees are deserving Df much
credit for the faithful performance Of the duties
assigned them. The graves were all marked
with flags, also the name Of each soldier written
on a card and fastened tn the flag. The floral
committee secured an abundance Of flowers, ev-
ererceus. &C., and had them ali collected at the
Courthouse in proper season, .t
At few miuutes pasta O'Clock the procession
was formed, and under the directon OF Captain
HoRD marched without music to the Cemetery
Arriving there, the aoral committee proceeded
to strow with the fragrant spring flowers the lit
tie mounds at their feet. Not grave was neg
lected. No one so unknown as not to share in
the glory Of his fellow soldiers. Even that one
little mound 10 the potters-aeld was not forgot
ten.
