Cliickasha, I. T., Sept. .r>th. 1003. I Mr. Editor:?I)y your permission, ' ar.il with this issue, I sii.ilI endeuver i to say something in behalf (f ti.e ncldo women of our dear nativ S uthlund. While it is ttue the war cndtd 38 years ago, uml with it jj the pulsing events ef the day. Dut ! at no peiiod of the world's history I has any country or nation produced , a nobler band of mothers and ' daugters than this fair Dixie land. j i When the tocsin of war waa sounded and the bugle eall to arms, what was their condition then? j j What station in life were they filling? The parlor, the school room, the easy places of comfort that knew no hardships. . And, my dear reader, can you imagine how quickly and j how well these noble mothers and1 daughters sprang from an easy life to j j the arduous duties of the domestic 1 jcircle? Never, never a frown; never a! 1 murmur; never a falter, but with : I willing hands and a heart full of love j and devotion that knew no bounds, j Oh! how well those dear mothers j ! adapted themselves to the changes of , ja peaceful fireside to the extremes of, in cruci war. The Wizard of the1 j Riddle said that War means fight J and fight means to kill, and when wis was imminent, end the South had, by will and liberties of the' people chosen to withdraw from the Union and set up a separate government, by so doing, gave birth to a nation whose value was immeasurable, and whose patriotism was founded on a fabric as solid as the rock of Gibraltar. When the Godgiven graces of those good women became interwoven with the then existing surroundings, and when their sighs and tears could no longer curb the ambition of her people, those good women turned about in their sphere. She began her first lesson to the young men who were to mike the proud Confederate ;ol dier. O with what reverence she give him the little pocket Bible and wurne 1 him of its teachings. O how she lingered on these, her last words, and ties that only heaven itself could break. And this she did with the keenest aspirations, the deepest emotions of her soul, and with not the least fault at heart. She uttered these burning words: "Take this shield for your defense. Take this sword for our defense, and bring it I b: ck with honor, or be borne back upon it. 0 how thick and fast time made changes. But, oh! how those " good women faced the obstacles. j With that dauntless courage, where no fault, no misdemeanor,, no misapprehension, and a self-denial that was wholly unconquerable. While she wept, she laughed. Whilo she prayed, sue dried the tears of the fallen comrade. And, in view of a bloody conflict, she never gave thought except to a glorious victory. The son, and perhaps the father, already at the front, the funily tic already broken, and maybe that the idol of the household already borne to i s last resting place. The proph- ' ecv of the old black mammy still i linking in that peaceful breast. In I the lone watch of night she keeps vigil over what is left to her care and keeping. While the father, and perhaps the only boy, are standing . out on some lone hill, or shadowed 1 va'e doing picket duty, and with the 8 various changes she whiles away the \ time. But, all in all, hers is hut ( one sorrow and grief. Yet in the t ficc of everything that is distressing , she stands out nobly, and with an iron will. She confronted conflct with that passionate love and devotion which leads to higher attainments. iler loved ones at the front, and at every pulsation, every throb of the heart, every time the clock * ticks twice, she thinks of her dear |onc3. She moves on with that God* ! like power, and with her own tender ; hands she prepares for the making of the gray jeans so common in thoSc day. And on and on. with all the domestic affairs, until the whole rou^ tine of business passes under her supervision. It may be, she is milkmaid, wash woman, house-keeper, and general over seer of tho farm. Days and months go by, years spin , the sands of time. But with all the vexatioDS, sorrows, calamities and disappointments, she is still the model of womankind. She is the cheorful mother that gave to the new born nation tho proud Confederal 5 soldier.
