MAT 30th We all look forward to the 30th of May as that is the day we a« a great honor to our loved ones who have passed to the great be yond. And let us all bow our heads and close our eyes in a solemn pause of silence and at no time per mit ourselves to forget our mar tyred heroes who fought, shed their blood and died that we could have a free country to live in. Always think of them’ On fames’ eternal camping ground their silent tents are spread— No harm shall ever befall the bivouvic of the dead. Let us always think kindly of i our forefathers who were drafted out of slavery and made soldiers. Then they did not even know how to shoot a gun—but with a very quick training, they defended this good old ship of earth in a very noble way and w-hen President j Lincoln made it known to them i that w-e must have a union, they showed their bravery- at all times during the Civil war and may we | stop and think of the very many hardships they endured—the main object in this war to them, was that if the north could win this war : then we will be free and our child ren can enjoy the liberty of all mankind as their leader used that very lovely expression that all men are created equal and they were all telling the Confederate General.— United we stand. As a brave unit said, give me liberty or give me death, for we will meet the enemy face to face and shed our blood for that very important cause as our martyred heroes, Frederick Doug lass, John M. Langston, B. K. Bruce, Wm. Pinehback along with the very good support of Horace Greely the great statesmen from Mass, with his outstanding effort, told the U. S. Senate, the Colored man is a law abiding citizen and at all times his rights and privileges should be extended by all means in the United States, for he has given his blood and has received nothing in return. This writer, remembers his fath er, Robert A. Smith, telling of his experiences of walking with a regi ment of Colored soldiers from Lea-' venworth. Kansas to old Mexico to quell an uprising* of Indians as the Southern people after Lincoln had signed the proclamation giving free dom to all the slaves and a large number of southern people had moved to Texas trying to make it an independent colony and soldiers walked as there was not any other ways of transportation and they suffered disadvantages and we shall always give them high honor.
