came twelve colored men who were cooks
during the war. Then came the Frank
lin Guards, 81 strong, under command OF
Capt W. l.. McGhee, all in full military
dress.
Other people followed on foot, in va
rious kinds of conveyances and on horse
back, and the procession marched to
the speakers stand in the Academy
grove. The services We're opened by pray
er by Rev. G. NJ. Duke, the chaplain OF
the Association, who served as member
of the Warren Guards.
Then Hon. Walter Montgomery, JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, spoke. His
speech was able, learned, we'll thought
out He gave a running sketch of the
war and dwelt on the glorious examples
set by the loved sons Of the South. He
showed the most intimate familiarity
with all the great epochs and trials OF the
war and was listened to with close atten-
ton.
After his speech dinner was announced.
and the vast crowd of more than 5000
people were beautifully supplied with
handsome collection prepared by the com
mittee in charge. Eata bles were in the
greatest profusion and of every variety.
and every one was supplied till all were
satisfied.
After dinner Gen. Ransom addressed
the crowd. He was the same dignified,
courtly, polished, patriotic man whom
every one admires, and his speech was
indeed a gem.
He spoke entirely without notes, and
he lauded the Confederate soldier and he
plead with the younger generation that
they should study their heroic deeds and
treasure in their hearts the sacrifices
which they had made and the blood they
had shed. His speech was eloquent,
patriotic, soul-inspiring, and he was
cheered to the echo.
Rev. James B. Avirett who was
chaplain Of Ashby's command, spoke.
He, too, told in thrilling words of the
in the midst of these glorious struggles
came with words of praise and adulation
Of those heroes of lost cause. He is a
speaker Of wonderful force, and his
speech was filled with the flowers of
rhetoric.
Or. J. u. Malone, who was chairman Of
the committee, deserves the warmest
lpraise for the successful manner in which
his efforts have been crowned. He was
the moving spirit in the undertaking and
has spent his time and means unsparing-
Ily in the accomplishment of the success
Of this Association.
The Franklin Guards won many com
, mendations for their soldierly bearing.
; Capt. McGhee, who looks every inch a
soldier, deserves praise for the high state
: of their training.
Rain in the afternoon broke up a
game Of baseball between Louisburg and
Nashville.
The crowd was orderly and well be-
haved, and, altogether, the Veterans pic
mic OF '97 was red letter day in Louis
