Ladies, old soldiers and follow citizens: The gentleman, invited to make the customary address, not being able to be present with us, 1 have been requested to make some remarks suitable to the occasion. While 1 feel my inability to properly discharge the duty required, yet, being the son of a Confederate soldier, now sleeping in this cemetery, and the call coming as it does from the Indies of my nn tive town, 1 feel, that I would l>e recreant to my duty, ?f I failed to respond, but I will promise to Inbrief in what 1 have to say. We have met to day, my friends and fellow citizens, according to our yearly custom, to do honor to the memory of the Confederate dead of this count v. The custom, at this place, was inaugurated some twelve ) ears ago by the mothers, wives, widows, sister? and daughters of some of those dead heroes Macli year, wo meet at the Court house square, and to the tap of inutiled drum, maivh, in pro cession, to this place, where we listen to an appropriate address, after which flowers ate strewn upon the caves of the sleeping heroes. May this beautiful ens ton) bo always observed. in so doing, we honor, not only out dead, but ourselves as well. An impressive lesson is likewise taught these children They will want to know the reason for these solemn ceremonies, nnd they can tie told of the heroic rcsi-i mce mode by the Southern States to the persistent encroachments upon fti<? riflrnt? /?
