MEMORIAL DAY.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day. 1t is a
legal holiday It is dedicated in honor
Of Jefferson Davis and it is to common
crate the deeds of the Heroes of the
South.
Jefferson Davis was one of the knight
lfest characters of his time He was
the martyr of a great Cause. Loyalty
and fidelity were the embodiment of his
noble and honorable career. Duty was
his guide, and in time he will be &C
corded his station alongside of the men
whose names and deeds are immortal
izs9-i6 history
On this day many Iof the survivors OF
the unequal contest, the men of the
South, goung men then, gray headed
men now, who breasted the storm OF
battles, the hardships of the march and
the privations of the camp and are glor-
fled in defeat, will join the Daughters
81 the Confederacy in paying tribute to
their departed comrades.
As the years are recorded with the
past, the valiant host is passing away,
and yet a little while there will be but
few to observe the day. and these too
in time will be numbered with the dead.
It is a sad reflection, but it is in keeping
with the decree inevitable.
It may be said, in referring to the
Veterans of the Confederacy in the sim
g1lar number, that the Confederate Sol
der is the exception to all exceptions.
There never was his equal.
In the years of strife, he fought hero
ically against great odds and disadvant-
ages which would have overwhelmed
men less resolrte.
If the Confederate Soldier won i'm
perishable renown on sanguinary fields,
his tritimphs in peace have been even
greater than in war.
II was the Confederate soldier who
resisted and defeated the attempted
Authorization of the South. and what
ever the South is today is due to the
Confederate Soldier who from the
havoc and ruin of four years of CON
fiict has wrought in peace the bounties
from the fields and the workshops, and
happiness throughout the land, but let
it Be borne in mind that whatever are
the achievements of the Confederate
Soldier, il war or in peace, much credit
is due to the women of the South who
never weary in their ministration Of
love and devotion, and who on Memo
rial Day are the leaders in the COM
nemoration Of the dead.
In keeping with the day let there be a
full response on the part of the people.
The little we can do for our dead is
TO revive memories sweet and sacred,
through flowers and evergreens
