But a few years nore and the last of the gal lant survivors will be gone. They have left unto s, the Sons of Confederate Veterans. fame as pure and untarnish- ed as the shield of Sir Galahad Upon us, in the discharge of a sacred trust. de- wolves the solemn duty to preserve and transmit to generations yet unborn the true story of their trials and hardships and privatiors, of the gallant fight they fought ard lost and the causes which impelled them to make that desperate stand.

 And yet gorying in their valor, in- dorsing their cause, our heart beating with pride that we are descended from such race, we maintain invlolate our fealty to the union. In the hour of her need, should 1t arrive, in no other section will she find more loyal defenders than in the pure Anglo-Saxon strain of the south The same deadly, defiant unyielding tenacity which for four years the federal government was unable to overcome will in the persons of the sons of these same soldiers, be at the command of the union.
 "Of the illustrious patriots of those troublous days there now remain but few. They seem like stalwart oaks, standing together on the plain which time has spared, after most of their con- temporaries have been leveled with the dust. We delight to gather around them and to dwell beneath their shadow. Last survivors of an aggregation of as gallant men as were ever seen, in conflict the most colossal that history records we find in them something tangible to which our affections can attach. upon which we can lean for support, and whence derive wisdom and learn knowledge. Distin- guishedpatriots Elevated soulsl We wish them to know that while we honor the dead, we do not forget the living, and that there is not a heart here which does not fervently pray that heaven may keep them back for many years from the society of their companions who have crossed over the noiseless river. For your gracious welcome, again I thank you"
 Hon. William B. Bankhead of Hunts- yille was the orator of the occasion. His theme, "The Life and Character of John Pelham" Tracing his career from his early manhood to the time of his en- tering early in the war and his life the picture of Pelham presented was one to inspire every young man in the sound of the speakers voice. The sons of Ala bama veterans were caled on to honor and revere his memory, an to give Of their substance for monument to his memory.
