that the wire fence destined for the in
closure of the Cemetery, posts, etc, have
been received here and paid for. As
speedily as possible it will be put up iu
| good style. This is gratifying to all
t who feel an interest in the work. The
place which, for many years, has been
| a source of humiliation and mortifica-
ton to the people, now bids fair to soon
become in appearance worthy of an en-
| lightened people. Much remains to be
done, but not SO much by far as has
been. Thanks are due to our people of
all religious denominations for the as
sistance they have given in conSumma
ting the work. The town AS corpora
ton, has rot been called upon for q dol
lar to aid in this noble and praiseworthy
work. We felicitate our people in view
of what has been done, and is yet to be
done.

people followed the example. Whoever
has visited Paris has doubtless observed
how much pride the French have dis
played in Pfre la Ch0i*e. In England
iiike spirit is exhibited; nor are our
cities lacking in it. In all ..hese PLACES
the cemeteries have been adorned with
the most admirable taste, and have
been made open places of recreation for
the traveller as well as resorts for those
who grieye for the departed.
We hope to soon see our cemeteries
vie in cheelfuness and beauty of ap-
pearance with the most lovely of other
villages. TO Mrs. 2. A. Gray, whose
devotion to the work has been conspicu-
Gus and unremitted during the last eight
months, the thanks of the people are
Justly due. We hope our people will
not falter in we'll doing-assured as
they are that every dollar of their con-
tribuIiUns has been and will be p1u.

Veterans aud the last OF the full generals uf the
c0nfedtracy, has closed his illustrlous career,
his noble spirit having passed INTO the mystery
of death at 3:25 o'clock to-uay.
The brilliant service and imperjShable deeds
| rendered by hlm Ill the Mexican war wreathed
a cha plet of falne around his brow, and flashed
his name across the history OF that epoch to re-
main unIlmmcd forever
In our Titanic struggle stricken down at
Bull Run, lie was ole of the first officers whose
blood was poured out for the south, and he is
sued the last order of our fateful war. He rose
rapidly from captain to the rank of full general,
ana nlled the successive military grades with
natchless ability. Invested with plenary DOW
els IN the Trans- Mississippi department, as a
military commander and as q civil ruler he has
left to his countrymen and to posterity record
| for ability and integrity which will forever
challenge admiration
| Dignitied, modest, tender aud of most lovable
disposition, he was intent upon every measure
which bencfited his people or made prosperous
our reunited country.
His funeral will take place at Sewancc, Tenn,
on Friday, 3lst inst, at Il M, and the general
commanding desires that all possible Eonors
