Lee Memorial Ode, by the late James Barron Hope,
Yelling of the Lee monument here. May 29th, 1890:
THE LEE MEMORIAL ODE.
Great Mother of great Commonwealth"
Men call Mother State
And she well has earned this name
That she may challenge Fate
To snatch away the epithet
Long given her OF great
First of all Old England's outposts
To stand fast upon these shores
Soon she brought mighty harvest
To Peoples threshing floors
And than golden grain piled
Within her ample doors.
Behind her stormy sunrise shone,
Her shadow fell vast and long,
And her mighty Admiral English Smith,
Heads prodgous throng
OF mighty men, from Raleigh down.
AS in song.
Her names are the shining arrows
Which her ancient culver bears
And their splendid sheaf has thickened
Through the long march Of the years.
While her great shield has been FURNISHED
By her childrens blood and tears.
Our history is shining sea,
Locked in by lofty land,
And its great Pillars of Hercules
Above the shining sand.
There behold in majesty
Uprising each hand.
These Pillars Of our history
In fame forever young,
Are known in every latitude
And named in every tongue,
And down through all the ages
Their story shall be sung.
The Father of his Country
Stands above that shut-in sea
A glorious symbol to the world
or all that's great and free;
And to-day Virginia matches him
And matches him with Lee.
And here to-day, my countrymen,
tell you Lee shall ride
With that great "rebel" down the years
Twin "rebels" side by side
And confronting such vision
All grief gives place, to pride
Those two shall ride immortal,
And shall ride abreast of Time;
Shall light up stately history
And blaze in Epic Rhyme;
Both patriots, both Virginians true
Both "rebels," both sublime!

little OF their earnings. And their earnings

Under the South Carolina laws a depositor
is secure. Bring your money from its hiding
place. and put 1t where you will realize
sstisfaction that no non-depositor can ever
have. Put even q small amount In bank,
and you will be encouraged to increase It.
Ifyou ever intend to have nything, now
is:the time TO start. Great fortunes are made

Ifyou want q fortune, then plant the first
