Confederates, who were the at
acking army. The loss of thi
Confederates is not known but th<
nost reliable estimates place th<
Jonfederate loss at a thousand mor<
han the Federal loss. The sun it
elf, as if wearied of the scene o!
>lood and death, retired beyond th(
restern slope, leaving a mantle ol
arkness. On the blood-stained
round, beside the mangled bodie*
f comrades whose hearts had beei
tilled-tired and weary soldiers slepl
n the\torm-swept ground beneath
he silent mortars and the slum
eringcannon. On such imposed de
truction, such inflicted death, suel
loom, such utter darkness, the colc
tars, and the Eye that never sleep;
or slumbers, kept silent vigil. Tha
? nio-ht that the survivors o
I [either army can ever forget.
I Was there in all this glorious
louthland a more dreadful scene 01
llood than that which was presented
It Gaines' Mill? Than those whc
fell on that fateful day did a greatei
[umber of truer or braver men from
my community ever fall in battle"i
[wasthe heroic death.ofLeonidas
md his three hundred Spartans in
heir attempt to stem the Persian invasion,
more to be admired than the
ravery of our men at Gaines' Mill?
The noble men who fell at Gaines
Sill, were in no sense more brave 01
pore patriotic than were their comades
who survived the storm of shot
pd shell.
The reader should run his eyes
bwn the column of names of pa
riots, all of whose names should
e kept warm in the hearts oi
rorthy Southerners. They deserve
> be perpetuated in history. Due
fest should remember* Gaines
[ill ewa as the Greeks and the
orld l*ve perpetuated the name o
hermopylae.

The list, bacau-se of the number ol

rnage on tnat day not only bears
e highest testimony to the bravery
id the courage of the dead, but it
ves proof of the distinguished valof
those who survived.
Although the bodies of dead collides
lay thick on the ground and
though the storm of shot and shell
id raged in all the mad fury oi
ill, not a man of their number faired.
Every man stood to the ene 7
with bared breast, and those noble
diers who lost all, fell like men
id died like princes.
If it be true that because of his

is called with the roll of the living

d if it be true that Bob Toombs,
Georgia, boasted|that he would,

NATIONS BUILD MONUMENTS OF
GRANITE.
The Nation and the State build
nonumental piles in memory of
;heir distinguished dead. This, bemuse
the names of those citizens who
win glory in war or achieve greattiess
in peace are the property of the
Nation or the State. Governments
build memorial columns of granite
and carve statues in marble to gratify
State pride, but we as humble
citizens, without pomp and without
the ability to do these great things,
come together to give expressions
of honor and affection for noble ancestors.
WE BRING LOVE AND FLOWERS TO
THE GRAVES OF OUR DEAD.
While the Southern people can
build no imposing triumphal arches,
to their valorous soldiers, yet it is
true that their aged wives, their
lonely widows, and their beautiful
daughters may decorate the graves
and commemorate the patriotic
deeds of the Southern soldier. The
fragrance of their act in thus doing
homage to valor can not but be pleasing
in the sight of the angels, whose
presence can only bless and defend.
On Memorial Days our good women
come with love in their hearts,
with flowers in their hands, and
with tears in their eyes, to pay tribute
to their own beloved ana honored
kinsmen.
In spreading flowers on the graves
of our dead, we should not forget in
our prayers, the fallen warrior who
sleeps in an unknown grave. His
herioism is as deserving of recognition
as that of him who sleeps
beneath a monumental pile.
The sweet odor of the flowers upon
graves that are watered with
woman's tears will rise to the sky
and bear incense up to heaven.
