Mr.. DE BAuTTE's STATEMENT.
NJ ENI ORAL DAY.

Ossian says In his weird language that tho
memories OF things that are past are pleasant
and mournful to the soul" We who have lost
friends and loved ones in the heroic struggle
between the North and South can appreciate
the poetry of the Northern bard. When we re.
call the memory OF he past there Is music and
light In our thoughts Ii we think of the heroic
deeds ACCOMPLISHED. and there are tears in our
eyes when we remember the lost friends who
fell gloriously i'm the van of war. To morrow is
the day consecrated for memorial offerings to
be laid upon the graves of the departed heroes
of the Lost Cause" Let there be no lack of
sympathetic flowers and votive off rings. Let
graves of the departed heroes who fought for
tho right he garlanded with laurel and
roses. Let beautifully moulded hands carry
the emblems of love and beauty to the last
resting place of the deceased brave, and soothe
with thankful prayer the souls of the heroes of
yore. In this world of lies and deeeptions, of
corruption and sin. we must cling to something
grand and sacred. We know BY woetul expe-
Renee that the living are frail and the demi-
gods Of to- day may be the convicts OF the NOR
row: but the dead have been immoledized into
eternity. with their virtues eneircliDg them as
with halo OF light. These we can safely re-
we're. To the heroes Of the past made eter-
nally ideal bv death, we can bring without
after tho ought our votive offerings and worship
at their shrine. The admiration Of heroic
deaths and the reve renee tor holy traditions
are the true foundations OF q nations honor
and the basis Of true virtue in republics.
A committee of ladies' will be at the Green
wood Cemetery to receive offerings.
