whose bravery in battle, and patience
in peace, wrought out an heritage
for the storm cradled Confederacy
which will live in song and story as
long as men are moved by deeds of
valor and until women, tho world
over, frhai cease to worship at tha
shrine of heroism.
The Wonderful Pas!.
"Lot us catch here and there a pass
ing picture of the inward and spir
itual thing of which these mounds
are tho outward and visible signs.
Turninjr our thoughts backward to
the trying days of '60 and '61, We
seem to see these silent forme, now,
"far from the maddening crowds" of
life, as they don the livery of war.
Confident with the bouyancy of youth,
they tenderly and proudly bend to
Imprint a kiss and perhaps wipe away
a tear upon the flushed face of a
mother or sister, oi' may-hap a dearer
one, and thei march away to the
triumphant notes of "Dixie" to cour
ageously fight against such odds as
soldiers never faced before or sine
in the history of the world. - - - 1 -v
"Again we behold them with bowed
heads yielding to the inevitable at
Appomatox. Painful though it be, wa
follow them as they turn their weary
steps back to desolated homes, wast
ed lands ar-d poverty stricken women
and children. And then these same
recent warriors, in the face of dis
couragements and insults, begin to
rebuild the waste places and restore
a stricken civilization.
Restored BSches. . . "
"What ,ef the- outcome? One
more this Southland of ours bursts
forth with her harvest. Her cities
have arisen like magic Her borne
are re-built. Her wealth restored.
