The Confederate Dead.— Our lady friends will remember that next Monday the 26th inst., is the day set apart, to pay a mournful tribute to our fal len heroes, by decorating their graves. As we have but very few soldiers of the “lost cause” buried in our Cemetery, we suggest that the Methodist Church be decorated in honor, of those noble sons of Decatur, whose bones lie bleaching upon distant fields : an that our citizens one and all turn out, and bestow: “The tender gift of love, The hearts devotion give ; To those that gave their lives, That liberty might live. “The South’s heroic dead ! We claim them as our own, We give the floral wreath, In place of bronze or stone. “Go ye who love the right. Go ye who love the brave, A floral tribute give To deck a soldeirs grave.” On last April a committee of ladies was appoint ed to solieit contributions to erect a monument in our Cemetery to the Confederate dead of this, coun ty; we do not know what success they met with ; we hope on next Monday evening it will he revived-, and that the ladies will take the matter in hand at once, and never cease efforts until the monu ment is built. Any man who would refuse to give something for such a noble work, (especially to a lady) is nothing more than a brute, and not worthy the name of human. We hope the ladies will as semble to-morrow, and arrange matters at once as the time is very short. Some one should be select ed immediately to deliver an address on the occa sion, and whoever they may select, should be noti fied as soon thereafter as possible. Since the above was put in type, we learn that John C. Rutherford, Esq., and Benjamin E. Russell, Esq., have been selected as the orators for the oc casion, the former representing the “OrdJ%f Me chanics,” and the latter the “Stonewall Fire Com pany.” Dromgoole & Co-’sßuchu restores early decay. For weak back, use Dromgoole & Co;’s Buchu. Dromgoole q Co-’s Buchu is the best and the Cheapest. Physicians prefer Dromgoole & Co.’s Buchu. Peters’. Musical Review for April is to hand, and, in addition to fifteen pages of' select reading matter, contains the follow-, ing new and beautiful music : “Ain’t I sweet?” A lady’s comic song. By T Brigham Bishop. “-Rest Darling Res-t.” A beautiful* lul laby. By E. C. Usley. “I'm Still a Friend to Yon.” Song and chorus. By Will S. Hays. “He Wipes the Tear from Every Eye.” Sacred Song. By H. P. Banks. ‘Forest Glade March.” By E. Mack. “Golden Sunset Mazurka.” By J. Hai> ristown. Music is generally considered expensive, but when such a quantity is furnished for the small sum of thirty cents, it ceasas to be a luxury, and even the poorest can sing, play, and be happy. Our musical friends will do well to ex amine this work, and we feel confident that thirty cents, sent to the -publishers For a sample copy, will yield them a larger re turn for their investment than any similar outlay they can make. Send for a copy or get your, news-dealer to get one for you and we will guarantee you will thank us for calling attar.tion to it. It is issued by J. L. Peters, musical pub lisher, 5429, New York, at the low price of $3 a year, or 30 cents for single copies. Messrs Editors: Permit me, a short space in the columus of the the Sun, to direct the attention of the people of this vacinity, to the all important subject of life insurance. The lively interest you have hitherto man ifested in all questions of general interest, is fast making yours, one of the most pop ular papers throughout the Southwest, and therefore I beg you will as often as con sultant with your obligations to other pub lic interest, devote a portion of your space in urging upon every man the important necessity of giving this matter his immedK ate consideration. How many men aie there in our community, who are aware, th t for the very inconsiderable sum of fitteeu dollars annually, be may secure at'his death the sum of one thousand dollars,? or more fulfy to illustrate this great advantage, that by the annual payment of sixty dollars*a like amount may be obtained even at the age of sixty years; surely, no one can fail to see the great benefits which would arise from so small an outlay. Again, it should be remembered that Ibis privilege is offered to those only in the en joyment of health, and who among us can tell that to morrow will not|bring some slight disorder, which may insidiously as sail tbo constitution and ultimately debar those who would now put this matter ofl for some future day. There is no reason for delay, the intelli gent everywhere are availing themselves of these great blessings which have come amongst us, and offer to secure to those we love, that which long life, prudence, and ihebest financiering could never give them. The numberless arguments in favor of these institutions, make it almost presumptions to ask a sensible man to insure his life, who has even given the subject a moments consideration; indeed, he should ruo to obtain the privilege. The day is fast approaching, when a jnan will be considered highly unmindful of his families welfare who does not insure his life for their benefit, and they will get little, of the already small share of public sympathy, which is wont to be extended to the bereaved when deprived of their natural protector. Before concluding let me ask again, yonr strongest efforts, in behalf of the widows and orphans, who are yet to be; and that they, may ever be free from want, and above the cold charities of a frozen world; that you will always and at all times, keep before the eyes of reasonable men the great importance of Life Insurance.
