Coniederates Enjoy the Day.


1t was the time set apart by the
| Farmyille Chapter Daughters Of the
| Confederacy for the presentation o
crosses Of honor, and the entertain
ment of the old soldiers. The exer
cises preliminary TO the delivery o.
the crosses were Of most interesting
character. They were held in the
Opera House before a large crowd
The old soldiers were seated on the
stage, and about them were grouped
a number Of the Daughters Of the
Confederacy, making an unusual and
impressive picture.
Judge Hundley, in fitting words III
troduced the speaker of the occasion,
Major \. r. Nenable, Jr. The speech
Of Major Nenable was sOul-stirring
and inspiring. He eulogized his vete-
ran comrades who wore the gray and
did not forget to pay beautiful and de-
served tribute to the women Of our
Southland. Major Venable concluded
with the introduction Of Miss Mary
Jackson, the accomplished daughter
Of Mr.. w. w. Jackson, who gracefully
presented the crosses. In doing this
Miss Jackson said:
1--WE, the daughters Of the Confede-
racy, feel it a duty, an honor and a
privilege to meet you, the survivors Of
those who sustained the COnfederacy,
in order to bestow upon each Of you
an emblem of remembrance ofyourpa-
triotic service in the past.
"The boy Of fifteen who went into
the Southern ranks, and became a
matchless veteran is an old man to-
day. The masses Of those who made
the Confederate Army synonym for
glory are patriarchs now.
Looking at the matter after the
manner Of the world, it seems a mock
cry for such people TO be indulging in
memories. But, when memories are
all Of noble deeds, is not the light of
past an excellent illumination for the
future? Therefore, let the veterans of
the South be as Confederate soldiers
once more That was the best period
of your lives-fullest Of self-sacrifice;
Of love Of God, Of country, and Of each
other. Guard your memories, oh
Confederates, .and 90 forth, souvenir,
to help them do 50.
