AFTER FIFTY YEARS.

The response OF the general assem-

addresses by two men who served
under Lee in the army of the Con-
fcderacy. yields due recognition to
the changes which have come over
our country since the close of the
War Between the States. II is true

could have been dreamed fifty years
ago that There is no North. no South.

The people of the sovereign states
which compose the American union
were brought close by the process of
evolution during the last half century.
The development of transportation
made intercourse between the various
sections easy, pleasant and profitable.
All was ready for welding into one
common mass the ideals, aspirations
and purposes OF all our people and
this Welding has been accomplished
in the forge of war.
