AuAPPY SUGGESTION.
A Monument to the Faithful Slaves in the
South During the War.

South During the w ar.
From the Tribune of Rome.
That was happy suggestion at the
Lee memorial exercises few days ago,
when Southern veteran said: "To the
slaves of the South from 1861 to 1855, a
monument should be erected, and in
letters of gold their faithfulness, their
devotion and their love should be told"
Northern people, as rule, do not, and
perhaps cannot, understand the ties
that bound master, mistress and slaves
together. And these ties, tender and
lasting as life, still bind The old time,
but now rapidly passing Daddy" and
Mamma" and the old and young
"Marsters," and the old and young mis-
sus," together. The young southerner
has an undying affection for his old
black Mamma" for her who nursed
him and looked after his Maynard foot
steps. And the now gray old Mamma, :"
keeps warm place in her kind old
heart for young "Marster."
Around the old negro cabin, under
the shadow of its time stained caves,
where wierd stories were told in the
cleaning, are twined some of the ten.

to the players, careless of the morrow
while the little picaninnys danced in tn,

Those were happy days on the oil,
plantation. 1t is doubtful if the dar
keys-many of them, at least-are a
happy and contented, and as well provi

food, clothing, good medical attentio
and everything necessary to preserv

Slavery, in its last analysis, is repugnan
to the human mind. The South woult
not take these people back as slaves,
she could do 50 by simply saying tn
| word. These people are entitled to til
lasting gratitude of the South for tn
manner in which they bore themselve
, during the war.
Yes, monument to this dark race
which worked and TILED for the wome

men fought, fought for home and love

"Don't take my land, the farmer
said;

"It's bought and paid for, it is

But Jim hung out the same old sign
"Kermission."
When asked if he were knave or
fool,
Who interviewed to save Jay Gould,
His eyes took on vacant stare,
He answered with wrsthful glare
Kermission."
Dark panic lowered over head,
Black ruin, far and wide, was spread,
Brave hearts, berett of hope, went
down,
But Jim kept up the same old
sound
'Kermission.
Wearied beneath his tyrant yoke,
In sternest wrath the people woke.
And as before the storm he fled,
He, glancing backward, family
