of the extension. The Confederate as
sociations then marched into the en-
closure, the veterans and Sons OF
Veterans giving their wreaths to the
Daughters who placed them at the
base of the monument. The Children
of the Confederacy, arrayed in white
and red, offered their tribute of flow

The monument was beautifully dec

with garlands of cedar and a Con-
federate flag f1oated forth from the
muzzle of the Confederate soldiers

of the monument were the prettiest
part of the decoration.
On the north side of the monument
were two flags of the Confederacv
both of which were made of red and
white roses and violets, the stars and
bars being represented by the roses,
and the background of the stars by the
violets. A sword and scabbard exc

The success of the ceremonies at the

enclosure designated by the chief

an excellent view besides making the

Mr. }. r.. Snussy's Address-An-

The memory of the Confederate dead
was paid loving and tender tribute yes
terday. The ceremonies marking the
observance of Memorial Day We're more
beautiful and impressive, and were at
tended by greater pomp and circum-
stance than ever before in the city's
history.
The elements conspired to lend sue
cess to the occasion. The very heav-
ems, which in the morning wore a
suit of grey, as if appropriate to the
day, seemed to weep in sympathy. But
soon the blue took the place of the
grey, and fleecy clouds floating in the
sky seemed to presage everlasting
peace and pronounce their benediction
on the tribute to the memory of the
historic dead.
with Wreaths of Rue.
The Daughters of the Confederacy,
ever willing and accomplishing, as
were their series in the sixties, were
foremost in the proceedings, laureat-
ing and identifying every lowly grave,
and festooning with wreaths of rue
the shafts reared to commemorate the
immortal valance and undying fame
of those who have gone to their reward
in the eternal camping ground. One
thousand and more wreaths of laurel
and rue, and countless floral tributes,
wrought with loving hands, which
beautified the memorials to the dead,
silently bespoke the loyalty and devo-
ton which now in time of peace are
as omnipresent among the women of
the South as in the days of civil strife.
The parade of the troops which es-
corted the veterans was an inspiring
spectacle. AS to martial strains they
proceeded slowly up the principal thor
oughfare lined with eager faces, their
appearance excited the plaudits of the
people. The appearance of the white
haired veterans in their suits of grey,
was at once a signal for continuing
cheers, melting a thrill of patriotic
pride.
With Measured Dirge.
The ceremony at the Confederate
monument was imposing in the ex-
treme AS the military entered park
the bands echoed their measured
dirge so. The exercises were
marked by completeness of de-
tail and the most perfect order.
several detachments of police keeping
clear the space appointed for the mill
itary and Confederate associations.
The exercises at the Gettysburg
memorial in Laurel Grove Cemetery,
were especially beautiful and appro-
pirate. The address of j. r. Saussy,
Esq, at the unwilling was am able and
chaste effort delivered in a manner
which occasioned much commentator.
AS a fitting conclusion to the beau
tiful and impressive ceremonies of the
day, taps were sounded, the clear
tones of the bugle ringing slowly, sad
ly, sweetly in the still cemetery, as the
military, in flood of glory impaired
by the setting sun, filed slowly from
the cemetery to the sad but inspiring
strains of Chopin's funeral march.

nearer Forsyth Park.
In the event that open air concerts
are given in the Park Extension this
summer, and much depends upon the
attitude of City Council on the sub
ject, it is probable that the bandstand
will be moved.
A member of the aldermanic board
favors putting the stand nearer Hall
and Bull streets so that the crowds can
be accommodated, in part, with seats
in Forsyth Park. The bandstand is now
on Bull street near Park avenue, and
those who attended the concerts last
year had to either sit on the grass or
stand. The concerts were popular last
summer and it is not at all unlikely
that they will be repeated this season.
in which event the bandstand is pref
ty apt to be moved.
