possible, to mar it as little as possible
and TO leave it little better than
they found it.

the Confederate dead in nearly all
the Southern states, although no
single day is observed by all. For
instance, April 26 is observed in Ala
bama, Florida, Georgia and Missis-
sippi, while the Carolinas observe
May 10, and the second Friday in
May is the day in Tennessee. In
some of the border line states two
days are observed, and in others the
exercises for both Union and Con-
federate dead have been combined in
one event.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Today is Memorial Day, a day set
set aside each year to keep blessed
memories alive, to keep the memory
green of those who gave up their
lives upon the field of battle for the
preservation of this nation and the
perpetuation of that liberty for
which it stands.
Memorial day, or Decoration day
as it originally was called, was first
observed in a southern state by the
negro school children, who under the
guidance of northern teacher,
sought this means of expressing their
thanks for freedom from slavery.
According to history, James Red
path suggested Memorial day. He
was in Charleston, S. c., soon after
the war closed and had offered his
services free to the city as superin-
tendent of schools. General Hatch,
commanding the district, and Gen.
eral Saxton, representative of the
Freedman's bureau, accepted the
offer.
1t was during one of his visits to
the negro schools that Redpath talk
ed to the children about decorating
the graves of their friends and de-
Tenders who fell in the fight for their
freedom. This was in April, and af-
ter one of his speeches a little negro
girl said:
LET all of us go and get a'mfuls
and a'mfuls of posies and hide the
graves from sight, SO we, can't never
see 'em again, nevah no mo- ..
On the following May day the
negro school children of Charleston
marched to the graves with their
arms full of flowers. But many
whites also joined in the observance.
There were 10000 people present,
and full battalion of soldiers were
there on that May 1, 1865, when the
custom of sounding taps and firing
a volley over the graves was inaug-
urated.
The custom spread throughout the
northern states within year or two.
In 1858 Adjutant General N. P.
Chapman was so impressed with OBJ
servances he had seen that he sug-
gested to General John A. Logan,
then the head of the Grand Army of
the Republic, that the latter's organi-
cation take the lead in making an
annual fower-strewing event of it.
Without furthef~ado General Logan
issued an order that May 80, 1868,
would be observed by all G.. A. R.
members as Decoration day. The
name, Decoration day, chung to the
event which was thereafter observed
each year until in 1884 when the G.
A. r. renamed it Memorial day.
The first unofficial observance or
the day in the North was at. Water
loo, N. y, in 1856 and the follow
ing year the Campbell Post, G. A.
r., at Cincinnati observed it. There
after it became universal in the
