HON 0RED DEAD.
Of Whom Some Facts Are Asked ---Reply
At Once---This is Due to the Memory
of Patriotic Soldiers.

~
The admirable address of the Hon.
F. B. Gary at Due West on Memoir
al Day inspires the desire to see IN
print the names ofall the men who
went from that city and the sur
rounding country to take up arms
for Southern Rights.
Ifany reader can supply missing
dates as to death or other in
teresting facts, of any soldier, will
be glad to receive postal card i'm
mediately. Please write at once.
May print revised or corrected copy
in pamphlet.
Ifit be true that because of his
yalor the name of a French soldier
was called with the roll of the living
ffor a hundred years after his death,
and if it be true that Bob Toombs,
of Georgia boasted that he would
at the close of the war call the roll
of his slaves at Bunker Hill, and If
it be true that every orator who has
spoken to an Abbeville County
audiences since the war has called
the roll of fewer than half dozen or
our distinguished dead without Civ
ing single reason, or stating a
single fact that would warrant the
intrusion of their names upon
our attention at a time when we
are trying to honor our own dead,
may we not with the utmost pro-
priety, once in fifty years call the
roll of our patriotic neighbors and
kinsmen who eonsecrated their
lives to their country and who either
gave up their lives in battle, or in
the camp suffered untold hard
ships for their country?
Don't neglect to send me a postal
card, supplying information as to
one or more of the soldiers.
Respectfully,
HUGH WILSON.
