MEMORIAL EXERCISES.

The Confederate Memorial Exer-
clses here last Sunday afternoon,
held, as for some years back. at the
monument corner in the Seminary
grounds, we're Of more than ordi-
nary interest, due largely, if not
manly, to the presence with us, as
Inc only speaker, of Sergeant Al
fred Edgar Creigh, Jr., a modest
ana handsome young soldier from
fonceverte, just back from eighteen
months of arduouS service with the
famous Rainbow Division in
France. Rev. Absalom Knox open
ed the exercises with an appropri-
ate prayer after which he asked
the people to join in singing "How
Firm a Foundation the Tavoritc
hymn he said Of both General Lee
and Stonewall Jackson. Then after
few words Of praise for the SOL
dIers of the Civil war whose cour-
age, devotion and willing sacrifice
OF life we had met to commence
rate. Mr.. Knox introduced Sergeant
Creigh. The Sergeant, disclaiming
al pretenslons to oratory, yet spoke
with ease and iluency, paying tri-
butte to the veterans of '61-'65 a
few Of whom were present to hear
MN, notably Gen. &, S. Peyton who.
mo feeble in strength, had come
from his home in Roncevertc to
participate with the men, women
and young people Of this genera
ton, in hOnoring the heroes of q
cause now dead and with whom he
served with honor and distinction.
Sergeant Creigh could. of course,
speak of the Confederate soldier
only from what he had read and
heard. In speaking of the dead in
the war Of the Sixties it was but
natural that he should think of
Americas young heroes, who in the
last Two years, had fallen in a for
elsn land fighting for liberty and
humanity, and to these brave Young
fellows he paid just and splendid
tribute. His address was interest
ing and inspiring throughout and
held the crowd in the closest attcn-
ton.
When the Sergeant had finished
his speech and a quartet-Mrs Nc
Chung, Miss Holt, Mr.. Hunter and
MIR. CoN-had sung "Tenting To-
night many came up to congratu-
late him and it was hard to saw
whether Alfred, the young veteran,
or General Peyton, the old veteran,
received the greater ovation.
In modest way, the celebra-
tIon was great-stimulating and in
sSpiring-and all left the grounds
feeling that duty to the dead
which their hearts approved, had
ben properly performed.
