Confederate memories more sRcredlys

all of its terrific force. and nowhere do
the people more enthusfa stically join In.

Thrown wide open to the guests. The
unVeilng ceremonies were conducted In
a dign!fied and impressive manner man

or an utterance (which could reasonably

of smoke coming from their smoke
stacks. We're driving them to their ut
most capacity. The Three Friends, 1t is

and flnally when she Three FRIENDS
came inside the reef. the Raleigh altered
her course, giving up the chase. The
reports that the Raleigh fred at the
steamer are without foundation
