Drought m Texas.
The Dallas Herald says the drought in
that State covers all that portion of Texas
lying upon a line of Denison and San
Antonio, including every county west of
it, and an average of two tiers east. In
portions of this territory people are haul
ing water for drinking purposes from
three to six miles, and the cattle depend
upon the larger streams, all of which
are lower than can be remembered.
On many plantations the wheat is not
more then one foot high, and is heading
out. Farmers are holding back for rain
before planting cotton, as it would be
labor lost to sow seed. Fears are enter
tained of a famine in corn and oats, and
hence the prioe of tbe old crop of corn
is advancing, with nearly every one hold,
tag on to all they have. So far oar vege
tables are nearly a total failure. The
Dallas market at no time this spring has
shown scarcely any at all. The supply
is getting less and less every day. At
the hour of writing, the high and dry
winds which have prevailed for three
weeks, are still blowing, with no moist-
nre or hnmidity in the air, end not a
cloud to be seen in the heavens. Ths
situation is bad enough. It was never
worse, and has not been so bad in the
memories of thirty years as it is now.
All hope of wheat is about abandoned.

Thx Chihxsb Quxstiok Loowho Up.—
The Vicksburg Herald, one of the leading
papers in Mississippi, in a recent article
commenting upon the negro exodns,
plainly declares that if it continues "it
will reopen the Chinese immigration
question with tenfold force. California
may not want the Chinese, bat if the
Sonth is robbed of her labor she will, aud
what is more, she will have them."
Oar readers may call to mind that since
the war a very successful experiment has
been made with Coolie labor in the val
ley of tbe Hississippi. The Asiaatice
know all about the culture of rice and
subsist mainly upon it. The climate of
their own country also resembles that of
the region now being stampeded and they
cenld be employed to the mataal advan
tage of all interested. We have no dispo
sition to dispense with the domestic labor
hich Providence baa bestowed upon the
Sonth; indeed wo prefer it to any other.
Bat it is pleasant to know and it wonld
be well for onr freedmen to realise the
fact that other help can ba fonnd to an*
ply tbeir places if they allow themselves
to bo duped by designing men and re
solve to seek their fortunes in the frigid
regions of tbe North.

We are folly aware of the foot, and
deeply regret It, that the compensation of

adequate to defray tbeir actual and neoes-
eary carrest expenses. Hence, when the
oity osn afford it, one of the first things
that should be done in order to aasnre an
efioient'goverDment, is to offer sufficient
salaries to seonre tbe very best offiolel

their innocent fathers, mothers, brothers,

whereas a tree has been -made by-brntal

whereas they have relied on the federal

ugees bave horror stricken fears as to the
state of things which will be trae of tbe
South, should the federal arm after 1880
be under the oontrol of those who bave
affiliated with their oppressors;
We approve-of their movement to Bnoh
anew home in the West and resolve to
do all in onr power to assist them and do
call upon every man, woman and ehild to
extent to them a helping hand.
This arraignment, jut so far as a
sweeping ohsrge of this nature canid be,
ia sheer falsehood, and we doubt not the
negro immigrants will themselves praoti-
cally oonfesr it such in doe time, by re
turning to the Sonth, which they have
been deeeived and betrayed into aban
doning. So far as we have observed very
few of them have given countenance to
these charges of ernelty and fraud against
the Sonthern people.
Certain it it that all of property they
have so far aconmnlated has come from
the pookets of the Sonthern people, and
they would have had much more could
they have been protected against sneh
frauds as the Freedmen’a Bank, in which
millions of their hard earnings were
wrecked by those claiming to ba their es
pecial friends in the North. If Northern
men of capital are sincere in these tile-
gations that the Sonthern negroes, as a
role, are awtadled out of their wages by
the Sonthern whites, why do they not at
least purge themselves of the frandby
restoring tbe squandered deposits of the
Freedmans’bank? There is no idle guess
work or vapid assertion about that swin
dle. It is a solemn and historical truth.
Two millions ot this wage-money, earned
nnder the extortions which they impnte
to the Southern whites, have been stolen
and misappropriated, and yot not a man
of them comes forward with a proposition
to refund or make the los3 good. They
haven’t in their hearts to tender a dollar
to the negro, except in connection with a
flood of abase of the whites—which shows
that their boasted interest in the negro
has little other or better foundation than
dislike of the whites
Now, it wonld be absurd to say that the
whole system of labor baB been violently
revolutionised in the South without in
stances of wrong and injustice, as it
wonld be to say that the industrial sys
tem of the North has been carried on far
the esmo time without wrong and idjan.
lice. Unfortunately, there is nolaok of
wrong and injustice anywhere. But the
world has only to contemplate the fact
that within little more than a decade
millions of slaves have beoome free, paid
laborers—have supported themselves—
have earned a vast surplus which is now
represented by taxablo property—have
made reputable progress in eduoatiott—
and have turned out from three te four
thousand millions worth of cotton, be
sides other crops, to be brought to the
concession,' however unwillingly, that, on
the whole, substantial justice, personal
seenrity and fair dealing must have at
tended the process. This is bound to be
the verdict of impartial history, however
much an inflamed sectional animosity
may pervert the judgment of the present
hoar.
How Stand ths Colomd Oitubkh or
Giobgia?—We have bsenst some pains
toenqnire, and learn from all sonioes,
that never einoe the war has there exis
ted a better feelicg betwoen the whites
and blacks of tbisoommonwealih. On ev

people has sensibly diminished, and they
are fast learning the salutary lesson that

they are in ednoation and intelligence.
All that is needed to aasnre their fu

politicians. Every freedman that ae<

the crowded house, for lack of a more
sonorous voice, and never having been

thb leefurt could nSt be heard ivlth per
fect distinctness, the great humorLt
carried everything before him. A
breathless attention was bestowed upon
every word that escaped his lipe, broken
only by applause and an occasional ory of
"louder," from the audience.
Hajor Smith, by hia searching exposure,
and Inimitable delineations of moiety in
all its reputable phases, has given fresh
evidenoe of his profound knowledge
of human nature.
Still, Abe purity of hie thoughts and
their perfect freedom from all that could
possibly impinge upon propriety or offend
the most ssnsitive ear, show that his in
vestigations have never been extended
into the infamous haunts of crime and
sin. He chats pleasantly cf the incidents
constantly occurring in one’s every day
experience, ever and anon, atriktag, we
venture to aay, a chord in the heart of
each one of the delighted auditor*. There
was no escaping from Bill Arp. His keen
shafts penetrated between the joints of the
harness and transfixed every .one—now
cansing unbidden tears to dim the eye
when contrasting the glories of the past
with the wretched realities of the present

oonld it be poeaibie to do him justice.
The style of Hajor Smith, is pleasant

SIN GULAK EXPLOSION.
The Frost of Canaan C Co.’s it ore
House Blown onr.
Yesterday morning at u quarter past
three o’clock au explosion broke tbo slum
bers of a targe number of the people In
the central portion of the oity. The jar
accompanying the noise, jostling the
casements.andjeven shaking the buildings
caused some consternation and brought
np suggestions of earthquakes.
The cause of the noise was soon dis
covered to be that a can of powder had
exploded in the front portion of the store
of Messrs. W. F, Cannon & Co., on Third
atreet, Completely demolishing the front
doors which were of glass, and the large,
heavy French plate glass window panes
and firing the store.
The alarm was given and tho com
panies tamed out. No. 3, however,
reached tho scene before ths alarm, and
the other companies were tamed back.
The fire was soon extinguished with
buckets of water, and by tho removal of
the burning goods. The investigations
yesterday morning showed the extent of
the damage, and also some onrion3 foots
connected with tho explosion. The ex
plosion occurred in the comer of the
store st the front. Tho casement with
its largo plates ot glass wss completely
ruined, being torn ont. The heavy cast
iron hinges of the doors were broken like
wafers, the doors falling inwardly, whilo
fragments of the thick glass were driven
half way across Third street. A stack of
goodB, however, in each window, re
mained intact, showing no signs of the
explosion, except in being blackened.
A koroseno lamp which was standing on
a desk on tbe front side of the counter,
was fonnd over behind tho counter, ex
tinguished, bat unbroken.
Up stairs the havoo in window panes
was fearfnL Nearly every glass was
broken, the oross bars of the casement,
in some instances, were blown ont and
defaced. The back windows down stairs
aud a heavy aide door were also broken.
The ceiling np stairs was Battled some
half inch or more. Tbe damage to the
stock is trifling, bat that to the building
will amount to several hundred dollars.
It is owned by Mr. O. Douglass of Sa
vannah.
The cause of the explosion cannot be
made ont, but it was undoubtedly acci
dental. In the can the proprietors of the
establishment say there coaid not have
been more than seven pounds of powder.
The top of the can was fonnd blown off,
and was securely closed, showing that no
fire reached it through the ordinary ori
fice. The only theory at all probable ia
thst the rata must have set fire to some
cotton yarn near by whioh heated the can
until an explosion took place.
The explosion is one of the moat smgu
tar that has occurred in the city for some
time.ud caused considerable excitement
at the time and machoomment yesterday.
Bat for the police force and the prompt
assistance of the firemen, especially Hr.
E. Isaacs, Mr. Pntzel, Mr. C. Mschold
and Hr.- Tick Menard, much damage and
a serious fire would have taken place.
WeunfieA by ■ Trap.
On Friday, while Mr. George F. Payne
was practicing shooting at glass balls
thrown from a trap, on a range near the
river, while bending over the trap, the
spring got loose and struck him over the
eye, inflicting a severe wound in the
forehead. Hr. Payne will be confined to
his residenes for several days.

The obseevano* ia Macon yesterday
was fall of .interest, and elicited more
general enthusiasm among all classes of
our community than any other event of
the year. Alan early hour in this day,
some of the loading business houses clos
ed their doors, and by four o’oioek hardly
a store wsb open, and the tide of humani
ty flowed from the oity toward th* hal
lowed grounds of the cemetery.
The flashing uniforms, the danoinc
plumes and the sounds ot the drums told
ot more than usual activity among the
military, and at a few momenta before f
o’clock, the Second Georgia Battalion,
formed in front of the Lanier House in a
long and handsome line, under the com
mand of Lieutenant Colonel C. M. “Wiley
The Haoon Votanteers occupied, theright
of the oolumn, and under the. command
.of Captain W. W. Carnes, presented an
extremely handsome appearance.
Their white plumes danoed in the sun
light and were fit emblems of ths chival
ry and record of the gallant old corps.
Next in line oame the Haoon Guards
with their old familiar look, and every
tine soldier of the Battalion welcomed
their reappearance in the ranks ot the
corps with feelings of genuine pleasure.
They looked excellently and were com
manded by Lieutenant L. P. Aekew.
In the centre of the line were the Floyd
Rifles, another gallant company, whoae
history is blended with the annals of tbe
commonwealth and whose remembered
deeds are recorded in indelible characters
They bore the colors and were command
eaby Captain John L. Hardeman.
The Hitohel Light Guards, with their
uniforms ot emerald, stood next in line
and presented an appearanoo whioh was
mnoh admired. The company is dally
beoomlng more popular and never wott
more compliments than yesterday. The
company was commanded by Lieutenant
D. G. Sheehan.
The left was occupied by that gallant
yonog company, the Macon Cadets, un
der the command of Captain T. L. Ross
Their handsome uniforms never looked
better, the men more soldierly. They
oompleted the line and in the march
brought np the rear of the pageant in
gallant Btylo,
The entire military display surpassed
the expectations of all and showed that
the military spirit has not passed away.
The column was marched to the cema-
tery by Colonel Wiley. Here, at the
gate, a platform had been erected and
the crowd pressed closely around to hear
the orator of the day, Rev. G. G. Smith,
of MiUedgeville.
After a prayer by Rev. Dr. Key the
orator was introduced by Colonel H, H.
Jones in a short speech full ot patriotic
sentiments and fire and whioh waslondly
applauded.
Rev, Mr. Smith rose and ejxike as fol
lows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: I must return
my thanks to the Ladies Memorial Asso
ciation for the invitation they have so
kindly extended to me to unite with the
people of my old home in the serf ioes of
to-day. I have been invited more than
once to fill the place I now occupy, and
while I have always complied and al
ways felt it a sad pleasure, whether in
Virginia or Georgia, to do what I could
to add interest to the occasion, this is
the first time I have been in the pres
ence of those honored dead who, while
living, were bound to me by ties of
sacred friendship. But here, in this
cemetery, where my ancestors are bnried,
where the wife of my youth lies sleeping,
where my brave young soldier brother
lies, and where Ross and Smith, Sher
wood and Waterman, and many other
friends of my brightest days are bnried,
the office I hold is invested with more
thin usual tenderness.
Fourteen years ago oar flag went down.
The feeble hand, brave still, but palsied,
could no longer hold it aloft- It had been
unfurled not hastily, nor angrily, bat
sadly, reluctantly. It bad, our antago
nists and the whole world being judges,
floated grandly for four long years, and
now it waveB over a host of gallant dead
and over a feeble few of living heroes.
With it went down ths hopes of Bli
the faith of many, the manhood of a few;
bat with it went not down the grateful
love of the brave women of the Sonth,
and when the anniversary day dawned
which told of their loss, when, aa yet, no
moanmental abaft was raised, they, as
by one impulse, gathered the beau
tiful flowers of our flower-clad land
and sadly repaired to the graves
where the heroeB slept and laid the gar-
lands upon them. I know not when, I
not how, ths beautifal thought was born,
bat from every part of ths land this
thought was ruling—even those who had
conquered, stood by in respectful rever
ence, and no voice was heard to condemn
this beautiful show of a deep and touch
ing grief. Since then, yearly the same
work has been done. iFrom the shores of
the Chesapeake to tbe banka of the Rio
Grande this sacred day is observed.
"Qni boiw?" said somewhat donbtingly
to me, a trae man, a thoughful states
man and a grand Southerner, as we
turned sadly away from a scene
like this. What good, he seemed
to think can come of continuing
this memorial. We are conquered—shall
we not strive to forget it? We are
brothers of those with whom we fought
—shall w# not forgive and forget? Is it
wise to eoounentorate tho deeds of
blood? Shall not tbe waves ot friendly
oblivion be permitted to sweep over this
ssd past snd buy it from ths sight of
met.? Wbat good, I said—perhaps has
tily but earnestly—mnoh Rood—I said it
hastily; I say it now calmly and thought
fully—mnoh good, bnt wbat gooc?
No good, if this day serves to keep
alive the feelings of bitter hostility the
war engendered; if it serves to feed the
fires of bitter hate between onr children
and those of the North ; if itdelays for a
oeoond of time tbe full fruition of broth
erly love, I oonld not, *■ a man;
I oonld still lees aa a patriot, and 1
oonld net at all as a Christian, join in
any service which divides manor embit
ters them Against each other. If this
day does this let this day peas ever unob
served. 1 bave not now, I never bad, a
feeling of hate toward my Northern kin
dred. Born on Sonthern soil, with my
ancestors for fire generations born on
Sonthern soil, with no other kindred
north of the Potomac. I osn bnt love
and honor a people eo trae and so noble
as those against whom I so sternly fought
from Fart Sumter to BentonvUta. Bat
had hatred ever had a place in my heart
when from New England's hamlets and
the prairie villages of the Northwest,
from Boston end Chioago, from Maine
and Minnesota there came in onr hour of
deep grief, when the peetilAce swept at
noon-day, raeh’aniversal sympathy, such
generous aid, that feeling mnstknve per
ished forever. I observe thia day, bnt
not for hate.
Nor do I think the greet politioa
principles which lay at the Aew
eonteat, so certainly true, io valfsUe. |n-
. titled tosnak immortality that for ttasir
soke I would commemorate the day they
were overthrown. Government is an
experiment; government is a develop
ment. What is wise for to-day may not
be wise tor to-morrow. While I believed
end still believe that Jefferson end not
Hamilton, Patriok Henry, end not Luther
Martin, John C. Calhoun, and not
Daniel Webster, were wieest,that the true
ssfoty of Amerioa was in confederation,
not in nationality, I aocept the logic of
event*!, and henee the surrender of those
views which the voice of the majority
hat condemned. I hold that he is not
wish who,' like Charles I, or Louis XVI
refase* to surrender anything until sur
render is too late. I am no Beurbon and
never intend to be. The England of
Alfred was not the England of Henry the
8tb. The England of Henry not tbe
England of Wil Iiam,Frtaoe of Orange, The
England of George the 1st not the Eng
land of Victoria. If change mast come,
let it come, and 1st us adapt ourselves to
change.
. Nor wonld I join in this memorial
merely to show my respect for courage
and fighting akill.
There ta something about a willingness
to fight which has ta it a moral force not
always seen. There is something in the
skill of ihe strategist, which whatever be
his objeffi, car bnt excite onr admiration;
bnt a people are not always great because
they can fight, and can fight well. Tbe
bull dog of the nng ia not so admirable
aa the brave storm breaster of the St.
Bernard, Aristotle the philosopher was
greater than his great pupil, Alexander;
Cicero, than Cm set; Wesley than Marl
borough, and Las Casas than Pizirro.
Hy comrades ware brave in battle. The
world looked on with hushed breath
as it saw them in the bloody charge.
ML comrades were noble in
In their patient endurance of the hard
ships or the hardest campaigns- Tbe
world gazed with wild astonishment upon
them ss they so {nobly bore.
My countrymen evinced a skill la war
only equalled by their ©outage and their
endurance. Lee and Jackson, Johnson
and Gordon ssd their oompeera bave
gained their plaees in history, and will
keep them forever. No longer will hon
est men dare to speak of the Sonthern
man as an ease loving braggart. Hs has
shown, from the humblest private to the
highest general, what was in him, and
while I join with the world in my feeling
of admiration for him sa a soldier,
not for this do I remember this day.
Then why ?
I answer, became this day commemo
rates one of tbe grandest moral triumphs
history records. A nation’s strength is
not in its bayonet*, nor its glory in its
gold, nor its protection in its Iawe. It
lies behind all these, in tbe morel sense of
tbe nation itself. Where man has never
learned tbe lesson, tan 0 ht him by tbe
great Tosoher, that he lives not for him
self, nor to himself, he has never learned
how to make his country great. This
contest, and asauob I wonld not forget it,
was the grand triumph of duty over self.
It has been Mid that we had no actual
wrongs to redress. Ibis we abtli not
deny. If we bad revenge might have
whetted onr sabre*. We might haTe rest
ed at onoe, and have left fntnre gen
erations to bave righted their own. It was
certain we had no ambitions to gratify. We
were not ten millions. We were misunder
stood, and, aa such, condemned by the
world. We were ta equal alliance with
twenty millions ot rich and prosperous
people, and we rnled in Congress and in
the executive ehair. Tnen why did we
dare the perils of war? Because we
saw, or thought we saw, that those polit
ical principles which were the only se
curity of onr children, were about to be
trampled upon and destroyed; because
we saw, or thought we saw, onr social
tabrio about to bebroksn to pieces—not
immediately, not ta our life time—but in
dsystooome; and became we thought
that we must strike then, or onr children
could not strike at all.
We were not ignorant of the odds
against ns. We weie not left long in
doubt ae to the oharaeterof the struggle.
There was comparative prosperity on the
one band—comparative exemption from
all immediate and personal injuries.
There was on the other certainly want,
and blood and fire, and, perhaps, defeat
and rain. To secure the one and avoid
the other it was only needful to be un
true to the trust reposed in- ns by our
fathers and sell the birthright of onr
children. Admit that wo wero mistaken
in the evil effects which we thought
would result from the overthrow of theee
protective principles, and the chain in
the social system of our States—the fact
yet stands, that seeing it as we did, we
must hava been traitors to a sacred trust,
criminally selfish, shamefully coward, if
we had not, regardless of all peril, thrown
ourselves in the breaoh. "Did you not
know," said a distinguished Northern
clergyman tome, "that yon would be con
quered.” "We bad no right to know it,
sir," I said, "till we had done all we
could." The heroism then displayed in
so firmly standing against such
fearful odds, with su:h motives
has never been paralleled in history. The
men so villified as the leaders of a great
rebellion, criminally ambitious, struck
not for themselves, bnt against them
selves. They surrendered positions lof
tier than any they oonld hope to reach.
They pat property and life at stake in a
desperate hazard. What had they to
gain, what to secure, that they did not
have? The blow wonld fall—they knew
that but not on themselves, and to save
others, ventured, and lost ail.
Bat there wero those who went into
this oontest because the States to-whicb
they owed all allegiance said go.
They felt that there was no higher
vole?, save the voice of Heaven, than the
voice of the people speaking through the
proper channel?. They did not feel op
pression—they did not apprehend danger.
They wero oontent at home,but the State
■poke eagerly and bade them them go and
they calmly obeyed.
There was one who went forth with tbe.
bright gleam of oonfidenoa in bie eye.
*Oar cause was just; we would con
quer.” With a smile be met his hard-
ahips, with a cheer ho sashed into com
bat, and as he fell he waved his comrades
on, and died feeling assured the viotory
wonld be wor. I honor him.
There was another, like the brave, se
rene, the wise, great-hearted Lee, who
knew th* peril, knew the fearful odds
against him, bnt wbo beard tho voioa he
had been taught to revenues, the voice
of Ms State, and obeyed it oolrnly, though
hopelessly, to tbe end.
His not to make reply—
His bat ta do and dio.
“Onwardaod right onward,"
I honor him more.
Then there was another who heard
nothing, saw nothing, thought of noth
ing, save that hie people nsd spoken,
they said duty celled him, their voice
was hls'and he went to do hie beat. Ba*
cause they said so he left his home, kiss
ing tbe wife and little ones; tearing him
self from the mother’s embraoe. Because
they said so, he boro all the trials and
faeedallthe perils of a soldier’s life.
I honor him most of all. Had my
countrymen hike the old Roman soldier
sought to lay the world at the feet of the
eternal oity; had they, like the revolu
tionists of France, sprang like uncaged
tigers at the throats of their oppressors,
Hod they like the oonseripfe of Germany
and Franoe, fought merely (o gratify the
ambition ot Bismarck or of Napoleon, I
could not have felt aa I do to-day; hat
they did not. They went forth because
daty bade them go. There was never
mutiny for lack of pay, there wee never
sack of city, there was never cowardice.
I saw them when they went out, full 'of
hope and jay; I saw them as they march,
ed through sleet and enow and rata;
bivouacked with them around
the camp fire; I prayed with
them dying on the battle field; I saw
them wasting away in hospitals ; X saw
them an they knelt unobserved ia the
dark recesses of the woods \o pray to ths
God they had been taught to love end
worship ;' I saw them stiff sad cold on
the battle field as the star’s pate gleam
floated over them ; I saw them conquer
ors; I saw them oonquered; I loved
them—honored them—and I aay let all
honor be paid to theee gallant dead.
Let Italy give her marble, let skillful
haedd shape it into beauteous form, let
loving hands uprear it, and let the white
shafts stand as silent monitor: in every
city of onr land.
Let the poet tone his harp, let the
orator with silver tongue tell the story of
these live*; and, above all, let the gentle
maidens and matrons of the Sonth bring
forth their garlands snd adorn these
graves.
I wonld be unjust, I should do dis*
hsnor to the very principle* I have
striven to honor, if I failed to tee in
those who rallied to the star-spangled
flag the Mme spirit which I so highly
applauded. For the miserable hireling
of other lands, who, bought by America’s
gold, fought for he knew not what, I
have no words to express my oon tempt.
For the American bounty jumper, who,
seeking only to _get his pay and
take his Ume to rob ths helpleee; the
halter would have been a better tribute
than the pension. Bat for the trae
Amerioen (and there wero many such)
who left his granite hills, his Pennsylva
nia valleys, his Western prairies, to givs
his life .for a Union he idol usd, I hav°
only words of honor, snd I should gladly
join with those wno decorated his grave.
Go then, fair sisters, I say go, and lay
your garlands on those graves, and if
perchance some one who wore the blue
sleeps near by, lay (tyonr garland on his
tomb, and it maybe thst some little vine-
let on sneh grave may take root, and
reaching toward the sky they may
brsee each other and shed a common fra
grance on the graves of those who loved
daty more than life.
At the conclusion of this well-timed
and admirable address, the benediction
was pronounced by Rev. R. F. Jackson,
Jr., Chaplain of the battalion, who offi
ciated ta full uniform.
4fter the benediction, CoL Jonee an
nounced that any lady or ladies desiring
Confederate graves to take under their
special charge, could have the same as
signed to them by application-to Sexton
Olay.
From the stand' the living stream
swept down the avenues of the cemetery
to the portion of Rose Hill Cemetery
where ia situated the Confederate buying
ground, and strewed flowers over the
graves of every dead soldier. Some of the
floral offerings wero quite elaborate, while
others were simple offerings of the spring
time, bnt each graTe had its flower, and
each flower its hero. Several shafts of
green wrought by the faithful fingers of
tbe Lidies of the Memorial Association
rose among the graves.
The appearance of the graves elicited
praise from all. Every mound had re
ceived attention, and the whole bnrying
ground was cleaned np, while aronnd a
large number of the graves copings of
bnck had been placed, adding immensely
to the appearanoe, and preserving the
mounds from obliteration. .Mr. J. J.
Clay, the Sexton, deserves the thanks of
ths entire community for his efforts in
this direction, and many words of praise
were bestowed upon his energy and per
severance.
When all the flowers had been placed
in position the Battalion fired by compa
nies a volley over the last resting places
of the dead. The soldiers were then
marched back to the city and a dress
parade took place in front of the Lanier
Honse.
At its conclusion tho companies were
dismissed and the Macon Volunteers and
the Floyd Rifles executed several evolu
tions and fired several volleys over the
base of the Confederate' monument at the
the intersection of Mulberry and Second
street. The first company fired two tail
volleys, and the second by platoone.
The crowd at the cemetery was esti
mated at least several thousand, and
thronged the grounds. Just at the con
clusion of the firing over the graves, a
cloud overspread the sky and a few drop3
of rain dispersed the crowd.
Throughout the Sonth the day was
suitably observed. Here the memorial
exercises were very interesting and
served to strengthen the reminiscences
•t the past, and over the fresh beauty of
flowers crowning the lowlv mounds, each
patriotic heait fonnd a fitting place to re
new the vow of devotion to keep fresh
and unfading the memory of the Con
federate dead.
