THE G. A. X. APPEAL.

When the Christian minister, Finch, {

The Blue and the Gray, " the most beau

action OF Northern ladies placing flower
on the graves of the Confederate deau

When they laurel the graves OF our dead.

cry for help from the people OF Charles

shot which made the war fact, and
through the Commander-in-Ch of the
men who answered that shot, the cry is
taken up and brought home TO these
men, that they may give rs their means

to the families OF the men whom they
met and vanquished on the field of
battle. 1t was grand act on the part of
General Fairchild, and the response from
every city and plain in the nation
will be equally grand, proving that
the men who faced the people
OF the South as deadly foes
in years gone by, have Christian and
kind hearts, and many suffering women
and children will be comforted by means
OF the gift of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public, which in this particular cause has
the opportunity now OF proving itself
grand indeed. Let the response be gem
eral and generous, and give the lie to the
preachings of political demagogues that
there is any feeling but that of fraternity
and brotherly love between the soldiers
OF the North and those OF the South Let
every man who wears the honored badge
OF the Grand Army make special
task OF hunting up his comrade, and
see that both give such as they
can to this noble cause, and thereby
prove again and again to the chivalrous |
people OF South Carolina that the war
was ended at Appomattox, and that the
greed OF lying politicians is not truth in

manfully fought for their principles. Out
