Nashville puts us very much IN mind
of Grand Rapids, being located III the
valley and on the hill tops. Its river,
however, does not take a direct course
through the city. IL Is ever changing
It's direction like a graceful winding
| panorama.
The Old battle-ficlds of the South are
now attracting much attention. \
/ quarter of century ago the bravest
men of the nation met and struggled
IN mortal combat as men had never
| struggled before. Now the survivors
/ of the great contest, from North and
| South, are meeting again on these sac
| red spots, with hands united IN the
| strong claspOf friendship and brOtherly
! love; their eyes sparkle with mcrrImont
/ aS they recall the Jokes and humorous
/ incidents OF camp, or they are hllCd
! with tears a. they point out the spot
! where Il dear friend, or perhaps u
! brother, father or husband, gave up hls
/ life in defence of Il cause dcarcr e
them than life itself. These brave men,
whose heads are now covered with
silver instead of black hairs, as well as
all other good men and women ire
| spcctive of cline, want their pOsterity
to know the truth. They should know
It, impartial and unbiased, concerning
TINS and all other struggles OF our na,
tional independence, and its mainte-
| nance.
