A Famous Southern Soldier's Son One of the most beautiful songs o the Southern Confederacy neve found its way into print, although i was one of the most popular song of the Civil war. This song wa written by an Alabamian, Lieuten ant Harring'on. Aithough quite popular in thi south during the days of the wai the song is now almost forgotten s:ive perhaps by a very few of th Confederate soldiers. During thosg da of the war the song was sung by the soldiers of the Confederac3 about the camp fires and on thi march it%oughout the :+uth and soon became a popular song of thost days. This song was called "Thi Homespun Dress." The Homespun Dress. Oh, yes, I am a Southern girl, And glory in the name; I boast of it with greater pride Than glittering wealth or fame; I envy not the Northern girl, Her robes of beauty rare, Though diamonds deck her snow3 neck And pearls bestuI her hair. Chorus. Hurrah, hurrah! For the Sunny South, so dear! Three cheers for the homespun dress The Southern ladies wear! Now Northern goods are out of date And, since old Abe's blockade, We Southern girls can be content With goods that's Southern made. We send our sweethearts to the war But girls, ne'er do you mind Your soldier love will not forget The girl he left behind. The So&, ern land's a glorious land And has a glorious cause; Then cheer, three cheers for South ern rights And for the Southern boys! We scorn to wear a bit of silk, A bit of. Northern lace, But make our homespun dresses up And wear them with a grace. And, now young man, a word to you If you would win thre fair, Go to the flield where honor eahls And win your lady there; Remember that 'our brightest smniles Are for the true and brave, .A.nd that our. tears .are all-.for those Who fill the soldier's grave. While Morgan's army was in Lex ington, Ky., the women of that city gave a ball on night in honor ol Morgan's men. On this occasion, i, is said, the women appeared in hom3 spun dresses.

"The Home spun Dress.'' During the even the young lieutenant met at the ball a Miss Earle, and during those few hours there grew an attachment be t.ween the two that was more thar friendship. Miss Earle was an- aocomplished musician, and improvised an air foi the the young lieutenant's song-poen and played and sang it on thie piarn -during the evening. It is said thai all the men of Morgan's. commnand soon learned the words and the ai and often sang "The Homespul Liidenant Harringtonl was killed in the bat.tle of Perryville, Octobei 8, 18&2, enly a few days after thi "ball in Lexingtonl, Ky-, where hi wrote the words to the song, anc w'here he met Miss Earle. Miss Earl< died only a few years, ago. She nev er married.
