combat. It was directly in front cf the roai-
deftoe off B. K. Orme, Eaq. The ring was sos-
pended opposite the front gate; thirty yards
back was the head, and further back, seventy
yards, was the starting point—whole distance to

feats, cut the head and tierce the ring. As a
singular fact, it may be mentioned that the cem

front of the spot. It most not/however, be imag

peoially does her credit and which Bibb county
would do well to follow. In the cold and
silent graves of the cemetery repose the
ashes of hundreds of nameless Confederate
dead. A monument with the gimpl* inscription,
“i'o the Unknown Dead,” marks their last
bivmac. It was a farther source of gratification
to note that, unike too many other monuments
erected over our gallant soldier dead, this one
hac the merit of being made by Southern friends
ancl not by Northern foes, who moulded the bul
let*, which let out their precious lives. Let the
dead rest in peace ; but, really, we cannot see
how Southern people can reconcile themselves
to ]>ay, as it were, our Northern fritruU for the
boon of erecting a monument over our gallant
dead. In this, at least, if nothing else, it should
be supposed oui people would patronize home
enterprise. It raakes us shrug our shoulders
whenever we look at the last resting place of
some brave Confederate soldier and on the mar
gin of the tombstone we see that, in spite of
such marble-works as J. B. Artope <fc Son and
others which we could mention, they had to go
to the North to hive it done. Shame !
But the holidays are over, and home we must
go. Bright eyes made our delay two days ’onger
than we intended—and then we got to the depot
just in time. A-mee-i-cus.

tion is on tip-toe. The contest is nearly ready
We cast our eyes down the road
and take an earnest look at the chivalrous knights.
There they are, one hundred yards off; eleven
in number drawn off under the leadership of
their gallant captain, Jas. H. Nichols. Their
showy costumes, waving plumes and champing
steeds, bewilder us whether this is the nineteenth
century or not, and cause us to believe the old
days of knight-errantry are revived with all its
romantic spirit of adventure and deeds of dar
ing ; love of arms and of the rewards of valor;
devotion and love to the softer sex. The lost
quality of the chivalric times, every Southron
can proudly boast, is 3till retained here at least,
in all its ancient glory and excellence.
