held are Phil Finch who died in Florida

The simple. but very impressive. cere-
monies were conducted over the grave of
Phil Finch by the Rev. ]. g. Murray,
cha plain of the Third Alabama regiment
on the staff of Col e. L. Higdon. He
made an eloquent address on the soldier
citizens of Alabama, and of their past
record He said he had but one wish to
make and that was that the members OF
the Alabama National guard should al
ways live such lives that when they died
and their comrades came to pay them a
similar tribute to TIE one paid yesterday
afternoon, the living should feel IN their
hearts that the dead had set a worthy ex-
ample and had never dishonored the un-
form they wore.
SOLDIERS HIGH STANDARD.
Mr.. Murray spoke Of the high stand
ard set by the soldier citizens of the
country, and said he felt highly hon
ored that the volunteers should request
him for the tenth time in as many years
to speak to them on this occasion. He
spoke of death. 'the grim eaper which
must come to all at some time during
their existen whether they be great
or small, whether they lived In a cot
tage or a palace, Mr., Murray said he
knew of no death which was so glorious
as that found amid the scream of shot
and shell on the battle field. He then re-
ferred to tho Spanish-American war. say
ing that one of these in whose memory
The services were being held had died
while IN the SCI vice Of his country, help
ing to protect the flag and fighting for
a cause which God had shown he thought
right and just Another had passed away
in Mississippi, but tic rest had died In
their native state, Alabama.
The services were opened with prayer
by the Rev. Dr. A. b. Curry. who in
voked the blessing Of God on those gath
cred around the grave of their dead
comrade. While he prayed the soldiers
stood with hats pressed against their
left breast, the custom of the army when
