Observance of Lee Centenary at

of Lee Centenary at
Buena Vista
Gasstte Ccs,YspondSNee
Jan.2l.--Saturday, the 18th, was
a day long TO be remembered In
our little Mountain City, when the
Tooth anniversary of the birth of
General R. e. Lee was celebrated
with services suitable to the oc-
casion by the Blue Ridge Camp Of
Confederate Veterans and the Sons
of Veterans as we'll as hundreds of
Others from all clanses from the
little tots up to the gray headed
matrons. The Public School and
the College were we'll represented.
Every body seemed to enter into
the true spirit and it was indeed
celebration, in the proper sense OF
the word. Music was rendered by
q choir consisting Ct repres alta.
tives from all of the church
choirs of the city and also by the
girls of the public echool which
added much to the interest Of the
occasion.
Three addresses were made by
sneak ers selected from our home
talent. Mr.. II. S. Rucker, Rev.
Chas. Fetter and DR.. Jas. Battle
Avirett. All acquitted themselves
well, their speeches ringing with
the true steel of Southern honor
and ma hood, holding up for adj
miration the principles by which
we were prompted in the great
struggle and for example, the great
world renowned and almost univer-
sally admired Lee who was our
beloved lee der in the contest.
The large Opera House most
beautifully decorated was filed to
OVERLOOKING and deep interest was
manifested by all and there is as .
result, a revival Of that feeling, OF
which we should ever be possessed ,
of "honor to whom honor 10 due, "
and at the same time hatred for
mono.
Our Camp turned out in full and
IL oladdened our heartE to have 80
many of the Sons in our ranks,
thus giving US assurance that we
will leave behind US those who will
perpetuate the honor and justice
of true principles and the names of
OF eat men. Thus will the name
of Lee 90 down to future genera
lions, not as rebel end traitor,
deserving ignominy but as one
whose name should be held up for
all time as amongst the greatest
and nohlest that ever placed foot
On this earth of ours, and those
who followed him not as a band OF
"rebel cutthroats" but as the
noblest of ell who ever took up
arms in defense Of home and rights.
Thus will our children be- taught
for all generations that although
our colors went down they did not
sink in disgrace, neither was our
honor nor the justice of our cause
buried with cur fisg. Might never
makes right.
This ia the first effort here for
such a celebration and we have
good reason to hope that it is a
beginning for that which will be
annuelly observed for many years
to come. We are truly aud justly
proud of our complete success.
