eulogize the character of the revered

fact that Dr. R. C. Oder, president

most interesting and enjoyable after-]
dinner speakers in this state, was the^
iqieaker for the occasion which wm
attended by distinguished Amcrieaim
from both the North and Sotf^ The
event was sponsored by 41 Southern’
societies. Tbe South! Dr. Grier said,
arose to fttll stature among the fam

because the beloved Lee “had ihare
