MACON, GA. May 8.-Today has
been spent in mourning The spirit Of
Gordon and Lee and Jackson has been
among the soldiers in gray. Forgotten
for the while, is the general joyousness
Of the great Confederate reunion, While
the memories of all go back to those
comrades who made no answer when
the reunion call was called. Forgotten
is the sweetness of being together once
more and the joy of seeing the memo
ries of the Confederacy perpetuated in
the generation growing up.
Fifty years has been struck away,
Smoking battlefields, roaring artillery
and long lines of surging soldiers are
actualities, The figure of a peerless
leader rides to the front of line but
the hoarse cries of his men put him
back. A slender but unwavering line
of gray marches steadfastly into the
very mouths of cannon, and then the
blue and gray are seen together.

The people Of Fessenden closed the
summer season of public playground
work by giving ar entertainment at
the courthouse for the benefit of the
association. The programme provided
was an excellent one and there was a
splendid attendance, making the VEN
ture a great success. A field day pro-
gramme has been named as the closing
feature but this was prevented by the
heavy rains of last week. Director

hampered by the wet weather which
not only prevented outdoor work when
