PRAISE, MUSIC AND SONG

Memorial Day was observed yester- day throughout the South, but 1t is doubtful if there was ely in the South where the observance was more general and more patriotic than in Montgomery.
 place Montgomery is the Cradle of the Confederacy and there are spots and buildings about the city that are call culated to ever keep fresh in the minds of Montgomerians the heroism and patriotism of the Southern people in the bloody sixties In the second place, it is doubtful if there is any city of its size in the world that has as many patriotic organizations as Montgomery, organizations which deem it their duty to impress on the younger generations that their forefathers fought and their mothers worked and prayed for cause that was just but lost. In the third place, Montgomery remains one of the few cities typical of the old South. Of course there is business with its hustle and hustle ever apparent in Montgom- cry, but as yet, time has not made its impress felt to any great extent, and many of the beautiful and lofty customs of the old South, still cling to Montgomery, their first love.
 Interest of Children.
 No more conclusive evidence of the fact that montgomery SLlll remains true to the South and its customs, could have been manifested than the interest that the school children of Montgomery the Montgomerians to be, took in the memorial day exercises. Throughout the entire day, the little ones could be seen bearing wreaths and flowers to decorate the graves of the men who had died in the defence of their homes and flresides The children were IA 0k NAA ,4ao at Oakwood Cemetery yesterday after noon and with rapt attention, they took in the recital of the deeds of bravery of their forefathers.
 But, although Montgomery still re- mains Southern city, there are many people in Montgomery today, who came from Maine, from Michigan, from Mon- tana and other Northern, Eastern and Western States and whose fathers wore the blue in the great strife. And these people are Montgomerians. They joined with the original Montgomerians In paying honor to the dead of the Con- fedracy.
 A prominent school teacher of Mont gomery yesterday said to a friend, ''what do you think? My little Yankee pupil brought a wreath along with the rest of the children This was but typical of the feeling throughout Mont gomery. The original Southerners honored the dead because they felt debt of gratitude. The adopted South erners honored the dead because they
