past, transmit these endearing associations to
those who are to come after us. One by one
the old are passing away, and in few years
the personal representatives OF the Confederate
soldiery will be few and scattered far and wide.
Whist time and opportunity are their heritage
which can be devoted to'the high purposes of

the survivors mingie in fraternal association,
because they can speak and can commend as
no Others can, and 1t is their privilege as well
