The last veteran and the last visitor who
came TO hear and to see all that pertain
ed to ''North Carolina Day on the fa-
nous Appomattox battlefield has gone,
and this splendid little Virginia village
has entirely recovered from the excite
ment and confusion that the unexpected
4, large crowd here Sunday and yesterday
,aturaly brought about.
n y The good people here had been reading
In the newspapers about the DISCUSSION
concerning the Inscriptions on the North,
s Carolina monument, and they had heard
OF the threats OF some Of the dissatisfied
not to attend the exercises and somehow

small affair anyhow. This may OK plain

thatfdid come. Half of the Sunday had
not gone by before these people OF

eral host, and made allEthe visiting Caro-
linlans and Virgnians feel at home, az J

belonging to Confedcrates and their de-
9scendants. It ia easy enou gh to under
stand why Mr.. Flood is go popular In

Speaking about those much discussed

fraternity, and such general good feet-s
