All over the South there are lovi
myriads of graves unknown to the her
' loved ones at home. A lady In Geor- the
gla once remarked, In speaking of her fam
life: "My riches are all In Virginia, tar
I love the dear old State; she is keep- hav
Ing all my treasures for me; the dust wit
of my five sons is beneath her soil"? hea
and here in Kentucky, scattered tior
amongst its cemeteries and down in thei
its valley and along Its hillsides, there son
are thousands of such mounds as tori
these, which represent the costly and lovi
dreadful sacrifice the homes and BOlc
hearts of the South paid In the struggle
of the Confederacy, to be free,
r The world Is beginning to understand
that the greatest heroes of the war
were not its officers. It is not probable
that more than 30,000 officers,
of all ranks, laid down their lives in
defense of the Confederacy, and there
were more than 4 00,000 privates who
gave up their lives for that land.
The largest proportion of the heroism
r' and chivalry of the army of the South
was in her ranks and the bravest men
^ who died were those whose history
will never be written. The scout,
the picket, the men in the skirmish
line, the men in the rifle pit, and on
P"*" the parapet and in the trench, were
the men who dared most, endured
most and gave most in that struggle.
The men who showed the greatest
^ bravery, the truest self-devotion, the
most splendid courage, were those
who carried the guns and "never
reasoned why, but only marched to
do or die." This isolation in burial, Bll
this loneliness in death, Bpeaks in no
Vp.- uncertain way of the poverty of the cQn
war's survivors and of the desolation
which followed In the wake of the U(
South's defeat, and of the dreadful ear
consequences to its people when its "Fol

iun- bars. Miss Hall, who was an earnest
iure adherent of the "lost cause" during
day the Civil War, still cherishes for it a
tiv- feeling of reverence and devotion.
She glories in the fact that she was
identified with it, and as a token of
her changeless loyalty to it she invariably
wears a small Confederate
flag or badge. She Is the only woman
iwlio 1b a full member of a Confederate
veterans' camp, and she marches
for miles with the camp at reunions,
attired in gray and wearing a campaign
hat, which, with her close-cut
hair, gives her quite a soldierly appearance.
The crowds along the lines
of march always give her an ovation.
Miss Hal! has placed six hundred
silken Confederate flags on the graves
of departed soldiers. At the reunions
she is always an honored guest and
receives many attentions.
