which we hope to reproduce from his

Mrs. Gary's Reply

Confederate Veterans of Marion Camp
No. Sc:
Dear F'riends-It was with mex
pressable surprise that l learned that
you intended to-; bestow this honor
upon me. 1 can but family express
the emotions that fill my heart to ov-
erf1owing in appreciation of this tes-
timonial Of your esteem.
To be thus honored by survivors of
the grand armies who so nobly vim
dicated the honor, the valor and the
patriotism of the South is to me in
deed a priceless boon. 1t is enhanc-
ed in value only as coming through
the hands Of one of Marion county's
most useful citizens, who for more
than fifty years has held honorable
positions in his church and in civil
life, and has recently been elevated to
the office of brigadier general by his
comrades. Having proved faithful to
every trust, he is honored and re-
spected for his sterling worth thro'-
out the state of Florida.
In his valuable address he recog-
nizes the hand of an All Wise Ruler
in the history of the nations, and in
the results of the four years of bloody
war in our own country. We are
prone to look on only the human
agencies in all events both great and
small. The freedom of the slave was
purchased at the costly sacrifice of
much blood and treasure, and cher
ished principles of good government
were ruthlessly set aside. We con-
tend that the South was not respon-
sible for the carnage and destruction
that ensued.
No nation rose so white and fair
None fell so free from crime.
If Mr.. Lincoln. instead of calling
for $4,000 troops TO invade the South,
had called an extra session of Con-
gress TO provide for honestly buying
up all the negroes and setting them
free, even at the expense of $4,000 a
head. thousands of lives and millions
Of money would have been saved. Just
think of the millions the war is still
costing the country in pensions.
General Long pays a just tribute to
the subOrdination of the slaves of our
Southland during the war. This was
true to them, Notwithstanding they
well knew that their freedom was at
stake on the result. With compare
lively few exceptions. as the raid on
the Marshall plantation is this coun-
~, and the colored troops with the
federal forces in the battle OF Olustee,
the large majority of them remained
and faithfully labOred TO raise the
crops that fed the armies at the front
and the families OF the soldiers at
home. Some of them went with their
young masters to the camps and after
the battles they tenderly carried their
dead or wounded charges home to

graciously heard and answered your
prayers and today it stands spiritual
ly, numerically and financially as one
of the strongest, if not the strongest,
church in Ocala. Like "Dorcas. your
life has been full of aims, deeds and
good works"
With love and devotion TO the MEM
bers Of Marion camp you have smooth

lustrious life, with the aid of your as
ISOLATED you have caused to be erect

splendid monument to the memory of
Marion county's Confederate dead
which in the ages to come will be
esteemed as being more honorable to
you than gems from the East and
pearls from the ocean, or the diadems
of kings and princes, and will be rec
ognized not only as a monument to
the memory of Marion countys Con-
federate dead of today, but as a mon

I am commissioned by Marion Camp
L. c. VS.. as token of it's loving
memory of your useful life to present
to you this beautiful loving cup to
become "our individual property. Ac-
cept it, Madam President, from low
ing hearts and loyal devotion to you,
and may God in his goodness spare
your usecdi life for many years to
come.
