to become law and will enable the
Mate to place a very beautiful mem

Tha varied and picturesque beauty
of the battlefield cannot be described,

during work. The state had 21 com
mands engaged In the operations com

eral Joseph E. Johnston's army. Th#
valor, the unseldsh devotion to dqty

by her soldiers throughout these opera
tion* are a priceless legacy to their
children, to their state, and to the na
tion.

given up and tha body wrapped In n
blanket until th* attending physician
could reach the house. While watch
ing the body a strange sensation came
over Mr. Cruaoe about one hour after
