Thursday night for the annual

The present session has been
so satisfactorily conducted by
Prof. John B. Thompson and his
splendid corps of teachers, that
the board unanimously endorsed
their work. and reelected the
same faculty to fill their RESP &C.

think, as / stood among the sad
ly neglected graves, that the Iit-
tie violet that grows wild and

some silvered city of the dead.

The following address was de-
liyered by DR.. F. J. Underwood,
at the annual reunion of Johr
Simonton Camp, U. C. ", hello
at Nettleton April 6, 1912:
Mr.. Chairman. Ladies and Vete-
rams:
| greet you; | greet the ladies
first, because they are the best
friends the Veterans have. God
bless their noble souls. They
have a way Of showing their ap-
probation of the Veterans, that
counts for something. / greet
you Veterans. because you are
the remnant of an army of the
bravest men that ever faced a
foe; as unconquerable as the SOL
diers of Washington. Though
crushed by force of numbers, yet
fighting on long after hope had
died, and reconstruction had laid
it's heavy hand upon the heart
beats of our Southland.
/ wish to now greet and con-
graduate myself because have
been highly honored by this camp
of heroic men.
| thank God that every true
Veteran is a gentleman and an
optimist, an altruist, jolly
good fellow and an all round
good citizen-loyal to the flag,
loyal to the courts, loyal to his
fellows, loyal to everything that
is good and true. AS the grand
son and son-in-law of two brave
Veterans, / say: God bless you,
my heroes, wish you well and
hope you are prospering.' There
is no man in any community in
the South more valuable to the
public than the Confederate Vet
eran, because not only the hero
ism and sacrifice he made in the
sixties, but success achieved at.
forwards, with odds upon odds
against him.

erect one, whose spire would

thought brings to the men of the

Why IS the step OF the COn1ed-

It is because he feels independ.
