Maddox, the old soldiers shoutad themselves hoarse. They were also stirred to their hearts by the tribute of Corpoml James Tanner, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. Neariy 500 Coufederate veterans gathered with a third of that number representing the northern armies. The Confederate uniform: was seen bere and there. Both fags that General Wheeler followed were intertwined about the theater, where the addresses were made. The old “rebel yell” groet- od now and then the remarks of some of the speakers.

He expressed that a monument to General Wheeler's memory would be erected, as Is proposed, saying “Many menuments have beeu pro that have never been bullt. Some Are proposed that it would be much better never to have built Memories thers are coneerning which it would be better that prayers should ascend to high heaven that they way die out flow the recollections of men and be grant od the meray of oblivion rather than that they should be perpetuated. But & menument to Joseph WW heelor—yes. “Lay tbe foundation securely that it may withstand the assaults of time and the elements. Bulld it as bigh as You please.

Why do I say this? Because It is of worldwide knowledge that men never earried cause forward to the dread arbitrament of the battlefield who were so intensely supported by prayers and by the efforts of the gen- tier sex as were you men of the south, Evesy mother's son of you knew that if you dide’t keep exact step to the peic of ‘Dixie’ and the ‘Bonnie Blue g' If you did net tread the very front lias of battle when the contest was on, knew in short that if you re- turned home In aught but soldierly bonor, that the very fires of hell would pot scorch and comsume your unshriven souls as you would be scorched and consumed by the scorn apd contempt of your wowmenbood. The same condition of affairs, though pot to such a unamimous degree, existed nerth of the Mason and Dixon line. “When one speaks of the women of the war Be would not If he wishes and sould not if be would draw a goo graplical line that shall mark a divi- ston between wemen om the matter of support of the cause for which thelr loved ones battle, 80 when I speak of the women of the war I cau group In one mass the loved ones of your bouse- hold and those who are nearest and dearest to me."
