memorial services and to strew wreaths
and flowers upon the graves of the soldiers
who followed the great Lee.
Six members of the E. V. White Chap
ter of the U. D. c. were remembered by
the placing of wreaths on their graves.
Two who lie elsewhere were not forgotten.
Each veterans mound had marker of
the Stars and Bars. and wreaths of laurel
and roses seemed very appropriate as the
majority belonged to the Laurel Brigade.
The abundance of blossoms transformed
this stately City of the Dead into beau

the widow of one of the soldiers who
fought under the daring leadership of Col.

he arose to speak he said he was so embar-
raised that if he were lady his. face
would be covered with bushes. He was
the orator of the occasion and received
hearty applause. He proved that this old
States oratory has not lost its power In
the younger generation. All were pleased
with his address, as they showed from the
frequent applause given it. He took for
