CROSSES OF HONOR. Were Bellowed La.sl Friday on the Veterans Although the weather was cold ftt-d threatening there were a num hcr of confederate soldiers pres ent last Friday to receive their crosses of honor from tho Daugh ters of the Confederacy, and every one enjoyed the day to the fullest extent. The veterans aseemblcd al the home of Mrs I) I) M et-oil, presi dent of tin? Marlboro Chapter U J) C, where they wore cordially received and trented to coffee, cake and fruits. Before leaving, each ; etenm was givon a red bandanna handkerchief, which they tied around theil" necks to protect them from the cold wind during the march. Thc veterans marched to the court house, preceded l>y tho Daughters of tho Confederacy. The pupils and teachers of tho Murchison school also marched in a body to attend the exercises: Sheri if J li Green, comnandor j of Camp Hcnagan, presided. Chaplain .1 (J Richards invoked divine blessing. DD McColl Jr then addressed the veterans as fol lows: i "Members of Camp llonagan, and Honored Confederate Veter ans. "You are assembled herc today, at the request af thc Marlboro Chapter U DC to have bestowed upon you Crosses of Honor. You should be proud to to receive this gift, although it is of no intrinsic I value. lt binds together thc sur vivors who strugglco in a cause they deemed right and just, mid many thousand have been distribu ted throughout the south. It sig nifies that the wearer of this bil of bronze, has earned the right to a fame no less enduring than that ol the brave men who held tho pass at Thermopyloo. The daily forti tude, thc unchanging loyalty, thc unflinching bravery, that marked thc days from Manassas to bloody B?ntonvillo, aye, to Appomattox, shine, resplendent in thc history of our Southland. The hardships, pain, hunger, thirst, and heart achings of those days arc known to the bravo men who sit before me. So are thc sorrows and dis appointments, that came with the darle day ol' defeat. "None ol' these trying experi ences, need the veterans try to toll tb this generation. They would not comprehend it. These memories, sad and hitler, arc thc heritage only, of those1, who wore tho gray, of those who carried the star and liars to ramparts, around which whistled tho death dealing bullets, and then grounded thc blood stained folds in the dust of valorous defeat. "As you sit by peaceful firesides, the little crosses will stir memor ies ol' battlefields, where valor ^strove with might, and you will recall some w ho feil on thc sodden soil. You will remember those who returned with .cou, and for a lime bravely and loyally fulfilled life's every duty, until ono by ono they dropped out of your ranks. They ii rc not horo"toduy to receive tho token that you arc priviledged In wear. Thc oldest descendant those comrades, is ?hlillod ld receive his cross. W ill you not make if your duly to sec thal ii is done, s<> that thc naur.- ol' youl' friend shall bc represen!ru ?ts ?1 Coiifederat? soldier in his family! "S?u! to remember the large number of bru\ e ?md ,Vou< li ful who died leaving no lineal descendent lo inherit thc cross thal should he theirs, Among them our highest ofli ccr Maj .1 \Y Hcnagan, and ( 'ol A D Smith, Lieut Cook, Lietif I l'???ry Lon;;' and ( In pl ,J K Spears, the last ! wo named, 1 he la.sl of their line l?i tiring tho name. Nor cm any inherit tho cross of thal I ruc ?olriot, our beloved CS McCall, Because of this fad, shall \\ r lot thc names ol' (his large number sink into oblivion ? Ah, no. They loft no sons to transmit their names, bul they are sleeping sweet ly neath the sod of fame, ami it is our duty to remember them with affection., and write thoir names indelibly on the history of our country. "Honored veterans, lot mc re mind you that thc little band of women whose energy and gener osity have secured this badge of honor are the same whoso untiring efforts reared that white shaft out there, which tells a story of glory to all who stop to read. They are of tho kimi, who soothed your burning brows, ano! bound up your wounded limbs in the hospitals of the military service. To fasten this token of valor over brave hearts will be to thom a willing service. "By me they semi you a message of love ami sympathy. They would gladly smootho away every care and trial from the pathway along which youi" faltering footsteps lead you. And as day by day, your lessoning hand marches toward thc sunset, may sweet trust and abi ding faith never leave you. For getting not, that beyond the sun set, lie thc sweet Melds of the Kier nal Camping ( ?round.M After Mr McColl's address, thc Daughters and choir sang "Tent ing on the Old Camp Ground." Mr AIcColl road tho rules gov erning the bestowal of crosses of honor and then read thc names ol' the veterans for whom crosses had been prepared. ICacli veteran pres ent, as his name was called, Went forward and the cross was pinned on by the 1 laughters. As the aged and honored veter an, .lohn S Fletcher, limped for ward to got his c ross, there went up a chem-, and when thc name of Sherill' tireen was called, there was another cheer. There was a prolonged round of applause when the distinguished .Joshua ll Hud son went, forward, and after that the school boys applauded evrey .body. When the names of .John S Moore and James L Stubbs were called, the veterans and audience arose, while, the Daughters sang "Nearer my God to Thee."1 The Daughters hung theil- crosses on thc wall and put. over them wreaths of cedar. Aller the bestowal of the cros ses J ltd go Hudson arose and pro posed three cheers foi" thc Daugh ters, which were given with a w ill Tho veterans also gaven lising vote ol' thanks lo tho Daughters. Kev -I t> Richards pronounced tho benediction, and tho school children sang "My Cy un try 'Tis of Thc" and "Dixie" as they ' marched out. The veterans were invited tc . lineal thc Marlboro hotel, where they were given a feast of good J things. As they passed out ol tho dining room, thc Daughter.1 presented them with cigars and mammouth sticks of candy, neat h three feet long, representing broken llagstall's.
