MEMORIAL DAY.

For the ARGUS.
Let us meet to-day with reverence
To honor our noble dead,
Who in defense of our Southland
Their blood did freely shed.
We will decorate their graves to-day
With fresh and fragrant flowers
And keep our memories ever fresh
Of these heroes of ours.
Let us gather on Confederate square
And hear the orator portray
The valor and the courage of those
Who proudly wore the gray.
We will e'er cherish the memory OF
These brave heroes who fell,
Laying down their lives a sacrifice
For the land we love so we'll.
One by one they have passed away,
IT'LL only few remain;
Let us gladly do them honor,
For their like will never be again.
