Last Monday was Memorial day. We
did not have the pleasure of attending
the exercises at the Fair grounds but
ii was our good fortune to witness the
decoration of the Monument at about
8 O'Clock in ohe evening. A prayer by
one of Ncwbcrry's eminent divincs
was offered up at the foot of the Monu-
mont at the conclusion Of which ii song
was sung and the procession repaired
to ROscmont CcmctcLy and the old
graveyard to decorate the graves. The
exercises at the Monument were very
impressive and it is not likely that the
undersigned will soon forget them.
We stood there aud in our heart we
| thanked our lucky stars that we were
born Southcrncr, among u people
whosc independent spirit yet tender
/ devotion aEt! rGmlciii6ofaiiuc Of loved
ones is not surpassed by any people
| under the sun.
There is no trucr indication Of pco-
pies sincerity in the principles of
! cause that was lost than the alfectionatc
devotion and tender regard which tho
/ Southern people pay to those who
bravcly laid down their lives upon the
| battle field in defense of Right and JUS
!. tice. Our old "Vets" both dead and
| living deserve I'LL the honor and praise
| that grateful and approaching pos
tcrity can bestow upon them. May we
| mover fail to honor and cherish their
] .n,o,
| indifferent, nor our minds forget Of
| those whose valor on fiery fields of
death has never been surpassed, whose
record from 160l-l865 against unlimited
resources and overwhelming numbers
has won the admiration of the world
and clothed every one of them in cver-
lasting and spotlcss robes of glory.
Such q glorious record will always
! brighten the pages Of Southern history
and fill the heart of the Southern youth
with that patriotism and love Of coun-
| try which will never permit the loath-
some pinions of oppression and dis
honor to breed over q fair and sunny
land so bravely defeated in days past
by and gone. Listen! who ccnsures us
for entertaining such sentiments?
Who questions our loyalty to the
Union? Must we forget the tears and
sutfcrings of those who sacrificed life
and property in defense of a righteous
cause in order to pacify few small be-
ings who persist in calling us rebels
Never! We are not censured. Our
| lo,olt. io innnl fon
under the folds of the stars and stripes
during which time we have grown
stronger than ever, and this is suf1i-
cent proof that VIC arc reunited pco-
pie.
AS we do not live at Prosperity We
do not know whether she has made q
mistake in deciding against tho dispcn-
sary or not 50 we have unlike some
others concluded to go slow with our
| ngratulations. AS We said in q pre-
vious issue if blind tigers are dealing
out the cusscd stuff in q town it is bet
ter for that town to have q dispcnsary.
Now as VIC have said we do not live at
Prosperity, and therefore VIC do not
know whether blind tigers haunt the
black alleys and dark corners of that
town or not.
We saw friend from St. Phillips in
town last Monday: he had u mighty
big bundle wrapped up nicely under his
arm. 1t looked like what We have good
I reason to believe was q suit of clothes.
Look out friends somebody is in search
