AUGUSTA, Ga, April 27.-Memorial
day was observed here with unusually
imposing ceremonies, by a parade and
procession. The cornerstone of the con-
federate monument was laid. In his
speech General Evans said: "Let us
do nothing to keep alive the passions
of the war, but study its lessons in pru-
dence and profit by its teachings and
wisdom. TO stir up the old animosi-
ties is madness. The voice of the
monument will not be for war, but for
peace. 1t will say to us on the
purple tide of blood that flowed
from the hearts of sons we
have buried, we do not eXhume its
remains. We were utterly defeated
and we dismiss our resentment. Sadly
we have folded the dear old cross of
stars which we followed through
many storms of shell, but we take
with the true hand of southern honor
the staff that holds the flag of stars and
stripes. / respond with the truest feel
General Bartlett, spoken at the centen-
NAL celebration of the old revolution"
Afterwards the ladies' memorial as
ISOLATION decorated with flowers the
graves of the confederate and federal
dead in the Augusta cemetery.
