Gen. Lee s Birthday.

The 18th Of January is day which
should be hallowed in the SOuth-the
birthday OF the most gallant comm n
der. the brave and courtly Lee.
Here in Fredericksburg. where the
fiercest battles were fought where
every tres and stone is associated with
the name of Lee, we should keep
warm in our hearts the memories and
traditions that relate to him. and ,
therefore, we urge upon our people to
Commemorate, in some BETTING man
neIt this anniversary. With the daugh-
ters Of the Oonfederacy to take the
lead, we should not want for followers.
Let us have for the old veterans and
their "sons" lest they forget, " a So
cial gathering, where the old time
songs of Dixie shall be sung and rem
iniscences Of the camps and fields ex-
changed. Let us be loyal to onr
buried past, " though our hopes are
set upon a living present. Iu many
places in the South, and even in
the capital of the nation, this day is
so observed, and those who participate
in such celebrations are happier for it
We trust the citizens and women OF
Fredericksburg will assist the veterans
in making the occasion worthy Of the
name whose memory it honors, and
will respond with hearty goodwill
when called upon.
