"THE SOUTHERN WOMEN"

i We reproduce an article from tn,
Chicago Times-Herald, written by Mrs
Sara Beaumont Kennedy in the accus
toned charming style of that alwayl
entertaining Memphis writer. 1t is /,
splendid article and worth much NOR,
than the perusal. 1t is worthy plac,

/ Came to think Of it, however, wha,
need has the Southern woman of de-
fsnse among Northern people, or any
other peoples IL not the position OF tht
Southern woman one to be looked up te
with envy, rather than shielded with
the armor OF explanation. or cloaked
with the mantle of defense, Does she
not occupy the highest altitude attain.
able by her sex. and is not her place in
history secure? We thinkso.
1t was the Southern woman, the
mother, or wife, or sister, or sweetheart
of such men as George Washington and
Patrick Henry who inspired the kind
ling Of the fire which blazed our way to
liberty, burt away the colonial chains
which bound us, and gave us place OF
safety and greatness among the nations
OF the world.
| 1t was the Southern woman who gave
the nation men like jackson to hold her
greatness there.
1t was the Southern woman whose
bravery Of heart and nobility OF soul
dared the hardships, faced the dangers
and endured the privations Of the new
world, planted the rose OF civilization
in the wilderness of the west, and lifted
the standard OF American manhood to
a place among the stars.
Yes, it was the Southern woman who
was the embodiment Of all that was
sweetest and purest and noblest and
sadest in the lost cause--and for this she
needs make no apology. 1t was her
spirit that inspired the Southern legions
at Gettysburg, it was her spirit that
lowered over the field of Manassas, it
was her spirit that wept at Appomat-
tox but they were tears of sorrow, and
not of shame. They were tears that
need no explanation now. The world
knows them for what they were, and
SO respects and honOrs them.
To the Southern woman--G God bless
her!-is due, more than to any other
agency, the purity and prowess of
American history. Her hands have
made its flags and its flowers, twlned
the laurels for the brows of its heroes,
and twisted the wreaths for the graves
Of it's dead; she has mothered its wor-
riors, its statesmen and Its poets. taught
its music and it's religion. been its
queen and its guardian angel.
She is today the most glorious and
exalted type Of womanhood the world
has ever seen, and her critics are but as
evidence Of the fact that
she is what she is.

and in protecting all tablets, monu.
ments and other artificial marks that
the government may erect The affairs
OF the park shall be administered by
three commissioners, to be appointed
by the Secretary OF War, each of whom,
it is required, should have served at the
time of the siege and defense, in either
the Confederate or Federal army. Two
OF them must have served in Hen.

missioners shall make their headuuar
ters in the city of Vicksburg, on the
grounds.
Provision is made for a secretary to
be elected by them, with the aualtfica-
tions OF a commissioner. He shall also
be historian Of the park, Compensa-
tion for all these officers is to be fixed
