Johnson pre sided and after prayer by Comrade Young, Hon. W. A. Smith was intro d iced and made the oration o f the oc casion. Mr. Smith "made an elaborate eddress which was listened to very at tentativesly and which brought cheers" and other applause from his hearers,. - His subject was "The Ideal Confed erate Soldier" and he spoke of-the greatness of the Immortal ;RloeTliJEIfr;ljp9piIs wereJUeldjntipurvQ'jock Lee and the wonderful strategy of that mysterious Stonewall Jackson and other great generals of the South. He told how they with their master ful minds and brains could plan great battles, but that it devolved upon the men such as he was addressing to ex ecute the plans." The men in gray who composed the batallions on th firing-line were the men upon whom devolved the success ev failure of the. undertaking. How well they did their part, history tells," safd the speaker. Continuing he said that while he would not detract from the laurels of those who were in command, yet' it was the sublime nerve and courage of the pri vate soldiers who went forward in the discharge of their duty, amidst the storm of shot and shell, toward the redoubts and breast-works of' the enemy, with unfaltering steps, up to the belching cannons, were the heroes of the occasion. These were men whom the rising generation ought to admire and their deeds be kept fresh. These were men who gave prestige to the great armies of the South. He spoke of the new organization of L the children of the Confederacy. How rlad he was that this order Was in ex istence and how important it shouH be to inculcaW in their young minds the deeds of valor of these same men who have furnished the brightest; pages ?n American history. Continuing he said "Talk of the heroes of the Revo lution of the Mexican war; of. the Light Brigade at Balakclave. A com parison with that of the Confederate soldier in the civil war at Gettysburg and Fredericksburg and numerous battlefields, will show how insignifi cant the former were. In closing he said "you, have no idea how much 1 feel honored in being invited to' ad dress the veterans ' and a privilege which" is appreciated beyond measure. . Commander A. Cannon waB' called upon and responded by saying that he was proud ot the fact that he was a Confederate soldier and of the causes which nerved him to stand faithful amidst it all, which he said was at' tributable to the influences "back tome." The women of the South who labored in the fields; who kept up the farms; who spun and wove the clothes I tmd fed the army; whose husbands andsons were at the front, deserved as much honor as those on the muster roll. His remarks concerning the wives and sisters of the soldiers Were much applauded. Dinner was next on the prdgrani and never in the history of Laurel Park has there been such a "spread" as was enjoyed. Boxes and baskets were sent to veterans of the neigh borhood who were ill and there was still much left . f Resolutions thanking the manage ment of the Laurel Park estate, and Miss Jordan,- proprietor of the Laurel Park Villa for courtesies extended.
