THE NASHVILLE REUNION.

The thin line of gray, continually growing thin
ner, moved upon Nashville again last week, and
that beautiful and historic old town the Cumber-
land River was filled with the heroic survivors of
the most heroic army that went forth to battle
in the cause of constitutional right. With them
went the stalwart young manhood and lovely young
womanhood of a generation that has come on the
stage of action in the South since it was the scene
of internecine carnage, and they joined in the
ercises intended to perpetuate the memory of the
splendid deeds of their sires For three days the
city was given over to the annual celebration at
once SO pathetic and joyous-pathetic because of
the sad memories of the Lost Cause and the alb
sence OF thousands who have ''passed over the
river" to the last reunion, and joyous because of
the meeting together again of comrades in arms,
the renewal of old acquaintance and the promotion
Of ties among the families of the Confederacy.
This annual coming together of the old soldiers
not only brightens and sweetens the lives of the
surviving veterans but is of the highest historical
value 1t furnishes the occasion for bringing out
world Of facts from the lips of men who will soon
pass into the silent beyond and is great object
lesson, impressing on the generations that have
come on since the civil war vivid conception of
the true causes and character of the struggle and
the real worth Of the men who did battle for the
South in that struggle. To preserve a true record
of that terrific conflict and to hand it down from
father to son is a sacred duty of the descendants
OF these men. It is story SO stupendous in pro-
portions infinite in incident, and heroic in its
settings that it can never become exhausted and
never grow stale. The Confederate soldier
= white-haired now and passing out of the green
Of life THE world may yet see his equal. It will
never behold his superior.

The South Has Nothing to Regret.

The South has nothing to regret,
Because in Freedoms cause she met
Her fourfold foes and made them YIELD
On many glorious battlefield.
They conquered her at last; but vet
The South has nothing to regret,
Except that her good swords and true.
Her patriot heroes, were too few.
The South will cast no slur on those
Who bore her flag against her foes
The men Of jackson and Of Lee
Who gave their lives to make her frees
Yes! call them rebels if you will,
The Southland loves her heroes still;
She mourns her gallant dead-and yet
The South has nothing to regret.
The South has nothing to deny;
The Southern heart disdains q lie:
She fought for Freedom and the Right.
She made goodly, glorious fight;
Beaten in battle and downtrod
See bows before the viii Of God;
But yet till Truth and Freedom die
The South has nothing to DENY.
The south has nothing to disclaim;
She glories in her patriot name;
The fame Of her immortal dead
Lights up the path that sons must tread;
Their hearts, their swords, are still the same.
The South has nothing to disclaim.
Defeated in unequal fight,
She stands forever for the Right,
Before the storm the tree must bend;
But right will conquer in the end,
The cause she guards win triumph yet;
The South has nothing to regret!

Judge j. T. Watkins.

Judge Watkins is one of the most prominent and
popular men Of north Louisiana, being an eminent
lawyer and juris of distinction has served his peo
pie and the state well and faithfully in the past and
is known to the good people of DeSoto too well for
any extended notice from US at this time. The
Progress man had the pleasure of meeting this
distinguished gentleman while he was here last
week and was indeed very favorably impressed with
his quiet, chivalric demeanor-a true, honorable
southern gentleman and one that will reflect credit
upon the high Office to which he aspires if the peo-
pie of the Fourth district see fit to elect him.
DeSoto Progress.
To many OF our people Judge Watkins is not a
stranger, and he is favorably known by them. No
man in his section stands higher than the Judge,
and he has been honored by his people time and
again. A mans standing at his home is the best
way Of Judging him, and in this instance the decis-
ion would be favorable to the subject of this article.
The native ability, studious habits ripe experience,
coupled with his vigorous personality and prompt
ness in the discharge of his official duties, render
Judge Watkins eminently capacitated to discharge
the duties of the position to which he aspires His
devotion to Louisiana and the Democratic party are
guarantees that if elected he would prove loyal to
MS people ana Inelr DesG lnJefeStS.-M0a$ret0
journal.
The outlook at this time isvery favorable to Judge
Watkins candidacy and his friends who have cam
vassed the situation thoroughly throughout the
district, consider that his chances of success are
most suspicious That Judge Watkins is fully
qualified to fill the high position to which he aspires
with ability and to the credit of his State no one
who knows him will for moment doubt. A man
of ripe experience, splendid brain, well grounded
lawyer, classic scholar and an exemplary citizen,
he would take rank from the first should he be
honored with the position with the leaders of that
distinguished body Of statesmen. He is possessed
OF indomitable energy, is proud of his State,
thoroughly conversant with its conditions and me-
cessities and would make the district an ideal Con-
