MEMORIAL DAY OF 1919

EaH century ago, the beginning
of the observance of Decoration
Day, will be recalled by many old
slen and women now living in the
United States. The day at its ini-
tial naturally did not appeal to peo-
pie living in the southern section of
the country. Most of the wounds
caused by the civil war were still
open, while others had healed false
Nv and as the ceremonies were gene
rally conducted by persons who had
followed the federal armies into the
southern country and still fingered
in cur midst, and negro preachers
occasionally pronounced the benedic-
ton at the close of the exercises,
Decoration Day caused little enthusi-
assn, certainly not in Alexandria.
The National Cemetery at this
place was the scene of the ceremon-
les, as it is now.
AS time went on, however, ana
genial superintendent assumed
charge of this city of the dead and
mingled with our people, sectional
feeling gradually waned. The Alex
andria Light Infantry was called
upon to fire the salute ever the
graves of those who had fallen in
the defense Of the federal union, ana
there was genuine mingling Of the
Glue and the gray, which we are
glad to say is still in evidence.
The superintnedents became men,
bers of our churches and fraternal
organizations, and as the years pas
SD they and other members OF the
Grand Army of the Republic were
called upon to make speeches at the
banquets of R. E. Lee Camp Of Con-
federate Veterans who Annually
gather in reunion to celebrate the
anniversary Of the birth of Robert Z.
Lee.
When Abraham Lincoln delivered
mis- brief but pathetic address at
Gettysburg upon the dedication OF
the federal cemetery at that place
the war was in progress. The words
Of the President fell mostly upon
dull ears, especially in the southern
country. His pathos met with Dut
little response. 1t did not, however,
