 Therefore. be 1t Resolved, That we do hereby tender our sincere thanks to the Daughters and Sons of Confederate vet erans; to that magnificent body of the Alabama National Guard. who made a most brilliant display in the procession to the cemetery. and fired the solemn burial salute over the graves of our inn mortal heroes; to Miss Mccoy and the uuartette who exceIled themselves in the musical tribute to the memory of the confederate dead; to Mrs. Asa Rountree, whose beautiful recitation entitled, '1t is All in All to Me-" enthused and warmed the hearts of our comrades to Judge N. B. Feagin, who, with matchless oratory, depicted the confederate soldier in the most beautiful and elegant lan- guage. and classed him among the great est heroes of the world.
 We wish to thank the many members of the neighborlng camps who joined with us in our memorial services; the many ladies, young men and young girls who so actively engaged in decorating the graves of our fallen comrades who have crossed the river; and last to thank the Rev John P. McFerrin of the First Methodist dered to us the use of his church and participated in person on this solemn and sacred occasion.
