Although theFa arc no NATIONAL ceme,

And the form Of the memorial is beau

which loving hands decorated the
graves of the fallen soldiers on Thurs
day last fully represented the senti.
ments of the hearts that twined them,
and the people who united in the cele-
bration. The north and south respect
and honor the men who gave them-
selves for the preservation of what each
couceived to be their rightful Cause. In
this celebration the graves of both
federal and confederate dead in many
places were strewn with flowers
and the act no doubt tended to dispel
the bitterness of sectional feeling har-
bored even 1T this day by some. In the
eager rush OF business and the crowding
exeitements OF our time, these fallen
heroes may seem to be forgotten, a
