TO march and fight under Major-General
Fitzhugh Lee. and won't have any other,

while seated in an easy chair at the At

the boys want to fight, want to be right
in the thick OF it, want to show the Spa

above the mercenary, want TO let the

Fitzhugh Lee. and if they have back

that brought out the manhood in a man
that Rev. Mr.. Jones first encountered
Lee.
He was a gallant soldier, and every
inch a man, a true Nirginian gentleman:
and his men fought about him like
knights Of old, for they loved their heroic
leader" said Rev. Mr.. Jones.

and heroically connected with it To
leave him out of cavalry charge Is TO
