On motion, Capt. VIM. Garrison, ex-

| honorary member of the club.
Capt Garrison was called on for a
speech, and responded in his usual ap-
| propriate way. He dwelt upon the
brotherhood of man, and said life is too
| short for sensible men to keep up Sec
tional strife. He had always been ready
to take the brave Confederates by the
hand and welcome them as brothers.
| He thought all present should rejoice
that they had lived to see the day when
no man dare wave the bloody shirt for
political effect. He related an incident
| OF the surrender, where Federals and
Confederates mingled together for days,
with not harsh word on either side.
Ed. Sample, the climbing young De-
| mosthenes of Barber county, was called
on for talk. He responded in an elo-
quent fifteen minute speech, which was
frequently interrupted by applause.
Though he was not old enough to go to
the war, he furnished number Of rela-
tives; though he could not point to any
battle and have the pleasure of saying
that he had participated in that bloody
strife, he could point Ito the records
| made by both Union and Confederate
soldiers, and say that his countrymen
had done these things. He believed
the Confsderates fought for principle
| that Was dear to them. The matter had
been discussed in congress, in the pull.
! pit, attic Preside, and was at last re-
| ferred to the abltrament of the sword,
! and forever settled. Young men Of to-
day, who have not suffered in person
or IN property by the war, can read the
record Of that ftrife, and find that every
! act OF bravery and heroism enacted by
| q Federal soldier, found its counterpart
in brave aud heroic deeds done by Con-
| federAtes, and they refer to all these
splendid achievements with pride, be-
| cause We are all American citizens.
Whenever there.has been a prospect of
war with foreign country, the Con-
federate organizations were the first 10
offer their services in defense of our
| flag and country. We rejoice to-day
in the fact that we are a free, united
| and independent people.

| ord OF a certain ex-senator, and COM
pared it with his own, saying he mad
