FINE ADDRESS
JUDGE BURNS
Russell County Man is Orator of
Day at Memorial Exercises
Held Here Tuesday.

The remnant of the Tazewell vete-
rams Of the civil war were here on
their annual memorial, on Tuesday.
The tender service of decorating the
graves OF their dead comrades whose
bodies sleep in the cemeteries here,
was solemnly carried out in the u.s.
ual manner. At ~ O'Clock bounti-
ful luncheon was served in the school
building, prepared by the Tazewcll
Chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, Il service which these
gentle, patriotic women render each
year gladly and cheerfully, knowing
that each service, for some one o,
more of the old warriors, will be the
last. The boys who gave their lives
IN the World War, were not forgot
Some North, some South. and
some in Flanders Fields" Here. and
throughout the nation, the graves of
the known and the unknown, were
strewn with flowers. Poppies were
worn i'll memory of the boys who
never came home" The heroes of
these wars were honored on this.
which should be regarded as perhaps
the chieftest celebration day in which
the people of this county, and of all
counties, engage, over topping in ten
der and unselfish service any other
memorial celebration in which we en-
gage.
The Service in the Chapel.
AT l o'clock the chapel was filled
to hear the address of Judge Burns,
OF Lebanon, who had been selected
td deliver the Memorial address.
Judge Graham, the Commander of
the Browne-Harman Camp, presided
and introduced the speaker in his u.s.
ual felicitious manner.
The address of Judge Burns, SEEM
ingly impromptu mainly, was ideal.
Apparently without effort at elo-
quence or oratorical effect, he was
truly eloquent. He touched the chords
and reached the hearts of the old
soldiers. There was humor, there was
need of handkerchiefs. The address
was just right, and the speaker clos
cd when he got through.
This was the first time many Taze
we'll people had seen and heard Judge
Burns. 1t is no surprise to learn of
his high standing in his town, not on
ly as a lawyer but also occupying high
standing in his church, and thus the
Memorial service of 1922, passed in
to history
