All oyer the South there are
myriads of graves unknown to the
loved ones at home. A lady in Geor-
gia once remarked, in speaking OF ner
life: @My riches are all in Virginia.
1 I love the dear old State; she is keep
tng all my treasures for me; the dust
of my fiYe sons is beneath her soil
and here in Kentucky, scattered
amongst it's cemeteries and down IN
it's valley and along its hillsides, there
are thousands of such mounds as
these, which represent the costly and
dreadful sacrifice the homes and
hearts of the South paid in the strug-
gle OF the Confederacy, to be free.
The world is beginning to understand
shat the greatest heroes Of the war
were not its officers. 1t is not prob.
able that more than $4,000 officers,
OF all ranks, laid down their lives in
defense of the Confederacy, and there
were more than 100000 privates who
gave up their lives for that land.
{ The largest proportion of the heroism
and chivalry Of the army Of the South
was In her ranks and the bravest men
who died were those whose history
win never be written. The scout,
! tile picket, the men in the skirmish
line, the men in the rifle pit, and on
The parapet and in the trench, were
the men who dared most, endured
most and gave most in that struggle.
The men who showed the greatest
s . bravery, the truest self-dsvotion, the
most splendid courage, were those
who carried the guns and never
reasoned why, but only marched to
Z do or die This isolation in burial,
this loneliness in death, speaks in no
uncertain way Of the poverty of the
wars survivors and of the desolation
which followed in the wake Of the

Atlanta, Ga, SpeciaL-Cyclones
and tornadoes, the like of which have
not been known for years, swept
through the South Thursday night
and all Friday leaving in their wake
hundreds of dead and mangled bodies,
and the dismantled wrecks Of prop
erty worth many millions.
Teunesee was an especially heavy
sufferer. At 9 o'clock Friday night
careful estimates indicate that at
least so people were killed in that
State alone, with monetary losses
about $1,0O0,OO0. 2t Franklin and
in Hillsboro there was loss Of life.
The latter town is said To- be practi-
cally destroyed, while at Centreville
and adjoining villages the loss is re-
ported very heavy both in lives and
property. Near Pulaski, Giles county,
the death list reaches twelve, and
many are injured.
In the vicinity Of Chattagnooga the
storm was felt at its worst. Tele-
phone and telegraph wires were
blown down and the movement Of
trains was greatly hampered. The
hurricane followed the Cumberland
valley, wrecking small towns and de-
stroying farm houses. At Ebenezer
eighteen houses were blown down.
At Charlestown the storm swerved
up the Hiasse river, destroying prop
erty. At Fayetteville three are
known to have perished. At Cuba
many houses were blown down and
at Gilestown not even a shed was left
standing.
Memphis reports heavy loss from
towns within q radius Of 100 miles
in three States.
At Horn Lake, Miss, half dozen
lives were lost and the property
damage was very heavy.
In Arkansas eight persons were
killed near Mammoth Springs and a
/ score of buildings wrecked. Other
points in Arkansas report heavy loss.
Atlanta and most of Georgia es-,
capped with only slight property
losses during the blow. But two
young people, brother and sister, Will
liam and Pearl Withra, lost their
lives here Friday afternoon by the
capsizing of rowboat during a sud-
den squall.
The hurricane continued upon its
course of destruction in Alabama Fri
day night. Huntsville sends word Of
heavy loss Of property, with probably
several lives sacrificed near the Ten
nessee line. At Danville, in Morgan
county, Alabama, the storm struck
with terrific force. At Hartsell at
least one is dead and many hurt.
Soon after dark Friday night the
storm winds began shooting across
the railroad telegraph and telephone
lines connecting Atlanta with Chat
tanooga and Knoxville and wire COM
munication, which had been kept with
great difficulty during the afternoon,
ceased entirely. The Western and
Atlanta Railroad offices here reported
that south Of Chattanooga, near En-
erson, Ga, several big trees were
blown across the railroad right Of
way, tearing down wires and holding
up five trains.
The death totals were swelled Fri.

earth. The boy who came back on
his shield was to women the greatest
and truest Of all, and she worshiped
and cherished him as woman alone
can worship and cherish. The most
sacred OF all her treasures, the ten
derest Of all her memories were con-
nected with those whom she had
given as sacrifice to the South. She
loved best, remembered best, and IN
her heart lived longest and truest
the deeds of those who, unknown to
fame, surrendered their al! on the al
tar of their country. For those who
have been buried here or elsewhere
without affections recognition, the
heart breathes out sweetest benedic-
tion and praise. It may be that in
these far-away homes they only hold
some garment. faded, tattered and
torn, it may be gray jacket which
loving hands prepared for the young
soldier when he went forth to the
conflict for his country; now, as they
touch this sacred and holy relic, in
tears and in anguish they say:
Fold it up carefully, lay it aside,
Tenderly touch it, look on it with pride;
For dear must it be to our hearts ever
more
The jacket of gray our loved soldier boy
wore.
Can we ever forget when he joined the
brave band,
Who rose in defense of our dear Southern
land,
And in his bright youth hurried on to, the
Ho,t proudly he donned 1.-THE jacket of
gray.
They've laid him to rest in his cold, mar
No stone have they placed Ger his pillow
And the proudest of tributes our sad hearts
could pay,
He never disgraced the dear jacket of

Tenderiy touch it, look on it with pride,
For dear must it be to our hearts ever

The seyerest and most trying of all
tasks connected with the late war,
was the watching and waiting for
those who would never come; the
uncertainty and the gloomy despair

public Friday night in which they
say that the settlement seemed wise
because of the fact that the govern
ment had threatened, otherwise. to
bring other suits for amounts reach
ing nearly $5,0OO,000. The settlement
while it discharges all the civil
claims made by the government
against the companies, does not pre-

for the use Of the fraudulent device
by which false weights were recorded.
