THE OUSTEB COUNTS REPUBLICAN ica" come together as one \ mighty throng on the days set apart and recognized by the States and Nation aa Memorial and Decoration days , to celebrate and commemorate with due res pect and Holy Reverence our nation's sacred dead , and pay a tribute of respect and loving de votion to the dear old Soldier Boys who are still with us , hav ing not yet heard the summons to cross the river and answer the last roll call , We , as a free and happy peo- pie , can never repay fully by word , act , deed , or otherwise the great debt we owe these grand old soldiers for the great and manifold blessings we , as a free people and a Christian Nation , * uow enjoy , by their roble sacri fices , their struggling hardships , hr and their deeds of valor and un i flinching bravery , made manifest a thousand 'times on a field of battle , in forced marches , in all kinds of weather , the scorching heat and biting cold , distressed with pinching hunger and parch ing thirst , I ut ever loyal to the grand old flag , never allowing its sacred folds to kiss the dust of earth nor ifs flagstaff to cumber the ground , though many , many times bruised and broken by shot and shell , and the Stars and Stripes pierced and torn by the deadly shots from the enemies' guns. The many brave Color Bearers fell in its defence in the din and roar of battle. Others , no less brave , would rush to the rescue and carry safely through the smoke of battle and roar of musketry and cannon blast and and plant in sately on the crown ing hill tup to be seen and known as the Conqueror , the protector and perpctuator of the Union of States , of American liberty , and the blessings vouch safe to us as a free and United Republic. And now after the many long years have come and gone since that glad day when a message sweet was transmitted on the wings of thought and delived to listening ears , watching eyes and waiting hearts , telling fath ers and mothers , wives and child ren , brothers and sisters , and last but not least , her whose bright eyes , blushing face and blooming cheeks , had with others patiently waited and trustingly hoped to see on some glad day Him to whom she had promised to be loyal , faithful and true to the end when , after years of waiting , she could welcome his return and some sweet'day they could have the happy realization by the sacred ties and bonds of Holy Matrimony , and be made as one in the union of Hearts and lives and tcel and know with other anxious hearts of kith and kin the cruel war was ever and hearts and lives would again be reunited in thousands of sacred homes of earth. But how sad to know and how terrible to realize the countless number of noble lives that were blotted out on the field of battle in the twinkling of an eye and their bodies have been lying in unknown and unkept graves lo these many years , but in mem ory not forgotten , no , never never ! And many thousands o other brave boys gave up thei lives in hospitals and in crue prison pens far away irom the sweet influence of a mother tender caressing and helping hand and her sweet loving am soothing voice , ami d heart rend ing1 and soul pitying surround ings at the mercy of stranger who many times showed no raercj and suffered no sympathy strange lands far away from helping hands and loving heart of the dear old home. But no after nearly a half century ha .3 come and gone and is numbere with the great eternity of the past ; since the great Civil War had its ending and History now gives to us from the printed page a message of those heart rending years of suffering , bloodshed and death , and will hold in symbols pf the written language on the pages of history the story of that mighty struggle of a divided nation , a divided people , of equal intelligence and equal bravery , the one fighting for the rights of mankind and the preservation of the Union , the other fighting , as many conscientiously believed , for the rights and privileges of the Southern States. Those were defeated and their lost cause forever buried. The others were victors and crowned with glory and honor for the saved Union , This will be told on the pages of History , The begin ning and the ending of those dark days and years that must and will stand on the pages of American History as a blot and stain upon our American civiliz ation , for the reason that more than a milliion noble lives were sacrificed on the field of battle , in deadly prison pens , and else where , to emancipate , liberate and make free from the cru1 ; ! yoke of bondage and slavery a race of human beings that the Great Creator never intended should serve the white man as a beast of burden and be regarded by their oppressors as being no better than the brute creation. But thanks to the brave boys who responded to the nation's call , giving their liyes on the Alter of Service to help wipe out forever this great national sin , and by their noble sacrifices , they have givea a message to the world of mankind though it was written with blood on the alter of will sacrifice on the many bloody battle fields , tliat the United States of America is now , henceforth and forevertnore will oe a nation that will give to its subjects of every race and color all the privileges and rights of a free American Citizen , subject to the laws of our several states and the Constitution of the United States. How thankful we , as a great Nation , a free and happv people , should be , viewing oursqlves by the world's great searchlight ot today , when we realize out of the wreck and ruin , the struggles and hardships of the great Civil War of the Uuited States of America has arisen froV that turbulent chaotic period of wreck age and death , a higher , a broad er , a purer , a deeper , and a more noble civilization that is far reaching in its power and in fluence for good , recognized by the nations of the earth as 'a mighty world power for the bet tering of the human race , giving to the world and its people the warm hand of friendship and brotherly love , in peaceiul Chris tian co-operation world wide in scope and purpose tor all that is great and good for all nations and to all people. As American citiz2ns sharing in the great blessings and pnvil eges of this , the Twentieth Century , we should not forget to pay homage and give due respect to the grand old soldiers that are now living , also the nation's sacred dead , for the great part they have done in giving to us and our children the rich inheritance ! ance of this day and generation We are glad to know our mem ories are awakened and our duties and obligations made manifest at t least once each year when we meet on Memorial and Decoration days with hearts made tender when memory calls up and pic tures to our vision the life and 1 character of so many of the noble , boys with whom we have walked and talked during their earthly , journey in life's sweet day , and to the living we offer tender love and kind sympathy and extend to these aged ones , heroes of bygone years , the warm band of friend ship , brotherly love and faithfu devoting , giving to these aged veterans the assurance that on hearts warm in loving sympathy toward them. The writer was permitted to veiw on October 14 , 1908 a rem nant of 334 of the old soldier boys of General Lee's army of the Southern Confederacy. As we ie'stood on the streets of Greens. bore , North Carolina , the place of uiy childhood home in that far away southland , on that great never to be forgotten occasion , "The Centennial Home Coming" in that beautiful Southern City on that memorable day , "Old Soldiers' Day , " and as I viewed that mighty throng of spectators fifty thousand or more viewing the grand parade on that special day with eager eyes and bated breath , from sidewalk , street and allo.y , from porches , windows and housetops and every conceviablc place that eyes could view , hands could signal ; or voices respond with enthusiasm and approval of the recognition , respect and de votion the Southern people have for the old soldiers of the South , and as I looked on this wonderful scene in the midst of that mighty throng and beheld these grand old veterans of the South , so few in number compared with other days and other years when the beautiful cemeteries of the lovely Southland did not picture to the eye of the visitor and mourner so many of the swelling mounds as are now thickly dotted here and there in all the cemeteries of the Southland. Viewing this scene from an elevation in front of the large McAdoo Hotel , I will re member in the bygone years of the mighty past a little over forty-four years before this event ful day of which I speak I stood on the streets of this same South ern City , a little boy of ten sum mers , and looked in the faces of many of these who passed before me on this occasion , though they were then in the sttength and vigor of young manhood and on this day as they passed before my eyes I looked on them not as young men but as aged ones , gray of hair , stooped of form , and many , on this occasion , bear ing a staff to assist and support their feeble bodies and tottering footsteps as they passed amid that mighty throng of people , , and as I viewed them as they passed by two and two marching to the strains of the beautiful music , my soul bowed in rever ence and my heart was tenderly touched in loving sympathy for these dear old soldiers of the Southland , the home of my child hood , the place of my boyhood dreams , where in the tender years of life's wonderful beginning I first spoke the sweet and loving word "Mother. " Can you , my reader friends , deny me of this great privilege and wonder why I still remember and love my childhood home where I first gathereo the beautiful flowers of woodland and dell , and with little hands that knew not the stain of sin , would gather these lovely flowers of many kinds and colors and place into little boquets of which some must always be the beautiful roses to give sweet fragrance and fine decoration to these little tokens of a boy's love whe presented to that dearest and best friend , a loved and a loving mother. No ! No ! the answer cotneth. No one that loves his fellow man will take from the sweet memory of any man or woman any boy or girl if they could , the joy , the satis faction , the happy recollection that must and will come to each one many , many times during the journey through this event ful life of the happy days of childhood and the sweet memory of our child teed and boyhood home , and of her whom to you and me has been and ever will be our truest and best friend , our own Darling Mothers , I confess and am not ashamed of , 1 love and respect the grand old veter ans of the Clsal War , whethe they were robed in blue or clad in gray. They were all brave boys , and brothers of our blood and the world owes them homage respect , tender and loving sym ' patby , and they should give them a warm welcome to the > bosom of our affections for what they have borne of those of their day and generation and this and future generations that follow 1 J and we offer the following poem -FOR SALE- Tor Sites'for Homes , two H blocks , 6 full Wocks well out , A 7-room lionne , line brlckcd-tipc.ive. aliactc and fruit , a beautiful Mtc ou a < block , i > rlcoiW A mnilrrn S-rootn IIOIISP , nlco barn , ft carrlaire house , close In , price rlulit anil time on half uf It , Two new l-room Cott.ices , oilcan , anil conveniently located , UICHO are Cheap cnouirlt for any one.

Dedicated to the Memory of the Blue and the Gray. The brave boys of the blue ntul brave boys of the gray , Duly a rcmuimt left of that once mighty throng , life's fading sunset has closed its wonderful erful day With a melody of love , their sweet even ing song. They are fading and falling like the Autumn leaf After summer , when frosts have touched with paling blight The blooming rose , to droop and fade in silent grief , But whispering love at evening time it shall be light. Old soldiers of the Blue , old soldiers of the Gray , Thy faltering footsteps we soon shall hear no more. The hand of time knocking will soon call thee away To the grand re-union oil life's evergreen shore. We send thee a message of sympathy and love And hope in the tipeniug years that life's evening Star Will guide all in safety to that Sweet Home above And meet loved ones at the beautiful gates ajar. Old comrades of the Blue , old comtodes of the Gray , The years are passing by the day is drawing uenr When those that love you best will soon be culled to say Farewell at the river when the boatman's voice you hear But just ns long as hearts that love , and and tongues can tell , And flowers grow and bloom and sweet fragrance give , Thy name and fame in hearts and homes will dwell Forever and ever as Jong as those of earth shall live. Grand veterans of the Blue , grand veter ans of the Gray , Long has been thy labor , but soon will come sweet rest , ook to the golden hilltops in the far away And see in radiant beauty the home of the blest. Farewell ! farewell ! comrades of the Blue and the Gray. Soon will come a message sweet from the bright beyond , And in the evening twilight on some sweet day We shall meet each other there and hear the welcome song. May 23rd , 1910. G. R. RUSSGM.
