FLAG FOR GOVERNORS GUARD
a Beautiful Banner Presented by Til,
Ladies of Raleigh.


AT noon yesterday there was Il touch
ingly beautiful ceremony.
1t was the presentation Of company
flag to the Governors Guard by the la
dies of Raleigh.
On the most ordinary occasion it would
have been fine sight, this column OF
strong uniformed men. standing in front
of half a hundred of Raleigh's best and
most beautiful women to receive from
their patriotic hands an emblem of 10y.
atty to the State, and a token of the
everlasting love Of woman for all that
is brave and noble and patriotic.
But yesterday these exercises had q
special significance. The men were
about to go to the front, and the knowl
edge of this fact, together with the
touching utterances of Capt. G. b. Den
son, who made the speech of presenta
tidn, and of Col Eugene Harrell, who
responded in behalf of the company
brought tears to many eyes.
Both speeches were most fitting and
appropriate to the occasion. After the
flag had been presented and accepted, a
beautiful prayer for blessings upon il

was uttered by Rev. A. A. Pruden, chap
lain of the First regiment.

The first blood of the Confederacy was
shed by Wyatt, of North Carolina, and
the first precious life laid on the altar
of his country in the war with Spain

Worth. We sympathize most tenderly
with his loved ones whose hearts are
breaking, but the young man died like
a hero, and his State will always honor
his name.-Charity and Children.
