 Jim Henry Malone he became your cap tain. He led you on many ensang lined fields until, sword in hand. his eagle eye peering through the dense battle smoke to discern the bristling thicket of steel in his front, he turned to his loved com mand, his charion voice ringing above the crash of battle and said, Come, on my brave boys then he fell. torn, man gled and bleeding. but the God of battles preserved his noble life that he might be-as he Is today--an honor to his eoun- try! You loved him then--you love him now, for he is one of the nobiest of God g nobiemen!
 .'southern mothers sent you forth to battle and, like the Spartan mother of old, gave the parting injunction Go. my son, and return with your shield or upon it, an1.
 ''while battle trumpets echoed along the And booming cannon shook the rolling Till Peace ned the horrors of the raging
 fight.
 Mothers tears and prayers guided all
 aright."
 These were Limestone mothers, God bless every one of them living today!
 Your departure for the seat of war, was pathetic in the extreme. The agonized mothers and crying, and nearly heart broken sisters clung to the necks of their idolized dariings. The brave engineer Of the train. unused, perhaps. to weeping. gazed through his cab window at the sor- rowful scene. and, shaking with emotion, drew his sleeve across his eyes and seized the iron lever. The train moved. gently. gently, so gently, that the grief stricken mothers and distressed sisters might not have their loved ones torn too suddenly from their fearful embrace, the speed not increasing until the southern limit of the town WAS reached. when George Foote, Lem Hyde. Nick Malone and other brave spirits, leaned across the platform rail and waved a fond and lasting farewell-- farewell. Heroes of '6l, do you--do you recognize the picture?
 The flag is furled, while halo of inn perishable and undying glory will hand around its every fold. and the names of Shiloh" "Chickamauga." Mission Ride" New Hope Church." "Kenne- saw." "Resaca" and other fields of your glory can never be effaced but like mag netic lights will coruscate and scintillate forever and forever!
 You were valiant in war under the Southern Cross" you will be equally steadfast and true to the starry banner under which you were born, the flag of our now reunited country. the aegis of whose sovereignty protects you in tho blessings you daily enjoy, and finally. when on "Fames eternal camping ground you go to join peerless Lee. the immortal Stonewall and the illustrious host gone before. may He who tread the crested waves of Gallilee, and said Tt is l. be not afraid" walk closely, closely at your side.
 But here Is the blazing roll of honor. Preserve and transmit 1t to your chil- al en. and your children's children that. with unbounded pride, they may exclaim, II am descendant of one who passed through fiery storm that shook the globe to its center and tried the very souls of men!'
