The exercises began with the sing
ing Of ''Dide.'' This inspiring
Southern war song was sung by
young ladies in white, who marched
upon the stand waving Confederate
flags. As the first notes Of the song
reached the ears of the veterans and
the others in the audience, the pent-
up enthusiasm was turned loose, and
for a few moments the song was en-
tirely drowned by the cheers and the
rebel yell. In accordance with the
rules of the Daughters Of the Con-
federacy, under whose auspices the
exercises were held, the audience
arose and remained standing until the
song was concluded. ...

memories, was then rendered by the
choir.

spring address eulogizing the Con-
federate soldier and the cause and
the principles for which he battled.

women Of the Confederacy, and ex-
pressed the hope that before the vet
erans passed away there would be en-
during monuments to them in every
