H. White, Mrs 8. B. Berkeley, Dr. H. H. Johnson -an& Mr. J^-L. Palmer.. ?? * I The Speaker, Hon. Harold D ^Coo ley of Nashville, N. C., was introducec by Ur. Hill Yarborough, one of Isguis* berg's youngest lawyer*, who bavtei painted many vivid scenes of condb lions during' Ihe World -war"" and~'ol the heroism of our soldiers, said thai for a speaker on this occasion we had only to step across the line into out sister county of Nash to find as brll. Iliant a lawyer, and as polished and eloquent ? speaker as we could find nywhere. ; Hr. Cooley, in his splendid address, brought out an Idea that perhaps few have ever thought about. His main ?line of thought ran along this chan nel, "Though we come here to cele brate In memory of our World Wat Dead, we In reality are meeting In a [ premortal that renders homager/to every soldier." "Justice, honor, and 'brotherly love, the very principles ol .Democracy, were fought for by out 'grandfathers In the Revolution from 1 whose blood came the American Flag, the flag of freedom." I Then think of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Civil War. Re. member how the Confederates came back to ruined homes, crushed bet Heath the gloom of defeat and disast er. Did they sink in despair? No, Never! They rose to their cause, and fields red with the blood of their comrades in April were green with he harvest In June. Those were the trials of our fath ers and grandfathers who struggled for Democracy Itself. Ours was a brave tight for the preservation of the principles of Democracy, out heri tage, "Proud may the Ante* lean Dough boy be who bore the Stars and Stripes amss the Battle fields of France." After the battles, there | cams the armistice, and the home, coming, the President's Proclamation disbanding the armies, but there was a great army that could not be die banded by a President's .Proclama tion. There was an army still tent ing on the battle fields of France. And it is in memory of these dead that we celebrate Memorial Day." Every poppy that grows on the grave ot an American soldier in Franco," said Mr. Cooley, nestles its roots In the breast of a hero. Let us keep up the struggle In learning the arts of $eace, that we may leave behind us a great nation as a monument to those heroic dead, not forgetting in the meantime the hero ot all heroes the American Mother.'' To Miss Mary Melone Best who for the second time daring her high school career has been adjudged the winner of the annual Jambes Post American Legion Essay Contest, Dr.. H. H.
