| of Lynchburg. Va. and vicinity. I'm pub
lie meeting assembled. That we meet in
81. .,.fr... Of
respect 10 our old heroic and beloved
comrade, IIeutcnant-Geueral Jubal An
dorsOn Early, whose death we mourn and
| 10 whose relatives we tender our affec-
tionate sympathy.
We lose i'm him a friend who had a
warm place in his heart for every brave
man who did his duty and a ready hand
ever glad 10 help the weak and the needy.
He was a stern soldier and devoted pa
triot, but he gave up everything 10 serve
this people. eXacting no sacrifice that he
did not make and inviting no peril that
| he did not share. He was as fast TO his
friendships and his principles as he was

lie hated an shams and false pre-
tences, and had the heaven-born faith
which no calamity could shake i'm truth
/ and justice. His virtues were the more
displayed by every trial to which they
We're subjected. His courage rose SUI
| perior TO the odds Of battle and he led
forlorn hopes as If he advanced TO fore
! gone conquests. His figure in misfortune
was that Of commanding heroisms Such
share of prosperity as hefell him, he dis
pensed in generous deeds, careless of
himself and thoughtful of others.

Upon the fields Of war he was then
, hon0red cOmpeer as he was the trusted
friend Of Lee and Jackson. and his fame,

| icles Of history Will not permit the glory
Of his great achievements 10 be dimmed
by the catastrophe which engulfed the
/ people, nor can the memory Of his Vir-
tues fade while truth and justice live.
Such was his manliness and love Of truth
that his name has become already the
proverb Of honest bodily fortitude and
courage.
