How different the reception
which Vicksburg now offers yon
from the efforts she made in youi

Gen. S. D. Lee tO Union Officers, surviving commander, who adds to
the distinction of this hour. As I

There is so much of interest and
public importance connected with
the visit of the Society of the Army
of the Tennessee at Vicksburg that
supplemental reports will be given
from time to time in regard to it.
One of the tirst features of the oc
casion is that of Oen. S. D. Lee's
address. -
There is a story of an Irish
policeman in Milwaukee who came
upon a German who had been im
bibing too freely of the amber fluid
which made that city famous, and
proceeded to give tne uerman a
good beating with his club. When
he saw the puzzled look on the Ger
man's face, the Irishman made this
explanation: "It isu't because I
have got any grudge against you,
but just because I have got the
authority." We Southerners have
been impressed with the idea that
the beating you gave us was not
due to any grudge against us, but
simply to settle the question of
authority. You were, in fact, so
attacked to us all the time that you
could not think of partiug with us
on any terms.
I am here to-night because you
have invited Confederate veterans
to join you in your meeting. It is
an invitation which they accept in
the spirit in which itisoffered. We
do not surrender our convictions
We do not regret our part in the
great struggle when the question
who is sovereign in this country
was decided by the sword. We
have accepted that solution in good
faith. We behold in you brave
men whose valor we respected id
war and whose friendship we value
in peace. While we stood in oppos
ing ranks to you a generationago, we
have long stood shoulder to shoulder
with you in the work of upbuilding
this great nation and in winning
for her victories of peace. Our

Obituary of Mrs. Cynthia Barlow.
Cynthia Barlow, wife of Hamil
ton Barlow deceased, died May 10,
1907, aged 88 years, 11 months
and 16 days. She was the mother
of nine children, seven of whom
survive her. At the time of her
death she had 45 living grand
children and eight dead, and one
great great grand-child; making a
total of 150 descendents, distribu
ted through four generations.
She was a worthy and consistent
member of Kings Creek Baptist
church for 20 years, having made
a profession of religion and joined
the church at the advanced age of
68. Her christian life was exemp
lary in every respect, and is a
worthy example for us who are
left to follow.
A model wife, a devoted mother,
a kind and obliging neighbor has
gone from among us, and has tak
en up her abode with the Redeem
ed in the paradise of God.
Therefore, be it resolved:
1st. That we humbly bow to
our Father's will, and, while we
recognize our loss in the death of
our sister, w e rejoice that her life
had been such that she was ready
j to go at the bidding of her Master
2Dd. That we offer to the be
reaved children and relatives our
tenderest sympathy, and pray that
her memory may ever be an inspir
ation to them to live as she did.

In reading a recent life of Gen
eral Lee in the "American Crises
Biographers Series," I came across
this expression: "The Civil War
will not be treated as a rebellion,
but as the great event in the his
tory of our nation, which after
forty years it is now recognized to
have been." It is the second heroic
period in our country's history,
when the great forces which were
displayed in the Revolution burst
forth once more upon a mightier
scale. The virtues of the patriot
were emblazoned upon a grander
field of fortitude and sacrifice.
Once more the country cried aloud
for men, and they came. They
laid aside the plow and the ledger;
the smith forgot his anvil, and the
scholar his books. North and
