An Unknown Hero.
He Died for the Cause
He Thought was Right,


The presence of the grave in the pass
has been known for years throughout
this section, but no one was ever found
who could give any light on the question
of the identity Of the occupant. After
the war no effort was made to remove
the dead soldier, and the authorities Of
the Western & Atlantic railroad took up
the matter and decided to care for the
grave. 1t has attracted much attention
from passengers who noticed the mound
as the trains sped through the pass.-At-
