morning, when they will be open in case
there are any necessary matters to be at

TO the memory OF Nathaniel Greene. Ru-
mors had become rife that his remains
could not be found, and the municipal
council, shocked and indignant at what
might prove to be a brutal dissertation,
caused a search to be made which, to
the intense public regret, was unavaiing
and fruitless. But the commissioners
who had in charge the erection Of the
proposed monument proceeded with their
patriotic labors, and in 1925 were pre-
pared to raise the shaft at whose base
you now stand. It's corner stone was
placed and dedicated March q of that
year by General the Marquis de Lafayette,
the illustrious comrade and intimate per-
sonal friend of the noble dead
And now, for nearly three-fourths of
century, this marble testimonial to Ma
thaniel Greene. the first and only monu-
mental testimonial consecrated to his ex-
allied memory rears its white summit
toward heaven, as if attesting there on
nigh the unfailing devotion and graft
tude of the people, with whom he almost
daily walked and communed and who,
with reverence and tears, bore him to his
last resting place. It's proportions are
moderate, its design seems simple but IL

town OF only 5000 citizens. 1t represents

We greet you here to-day;
And from our fulsome hearts
We raise our grateful lay.
Long have our hearts been to you
In love and friendship bound
And now we come to meet you
On the old camping ground.
As through your beautiful country
We made our journey to-day,
And saw the grand fertility
That in your borders lay.
Our spirits rose within us,
AS they never did before;
And we blessed this chance now given us
To add our tribute poor.
AS we raise the glorious banner
OF friendship, love and truth,
Bespeaking for dear Savannah
An eternity of youth.
And so wen fill the bumper,
And to its dregs Wen drain,
In honor of old Savannah
And its immortal fame.
God bless you and keep you always,
In veal or woe through life;
May every good attend you,
And at last eternal life.
