The programme of memorial o\or
| oisos for last Friday was carried out a*
published in this paper.
The Fort Gaines Guards, under the
command of ('apt. T. ,1. Morns,
: liioutennnt-('olonel J. H. Irwin, Sur
Igoon I>. F. Gunn, and Quarter-master
\V. .1. Greene in front on horses, pre¬
sented a strikingly handsome appear¬
ance a\ they marched through town
en roNte to the cemetery.
Quite a concourse of ladies and citi¬
zens generally preceded the guards to
the cemetery, and quite a profusion of
dowers tenderly woven into shapely
garlands by the fair hands of noble
women were affectionately laid upon
the mounds where repose the remains
of the brave heroes whose memory is so
dear to the South.
The orator of the day, Col. J. U.
Irwin, was introduced in a few well
chosen and appropriate remarks by
Col. C. Wilson.
Col. Irwin’s address, besides being
couched in most eloquent language
{and sentiment of true Southern chival¬
ry, had llie charm of originality of
thought and theme. Paying due tribute
| to the memory of the dead, he dwelt
at length upon the past, present and
future of the South, presenting com¬
parisons of conditions by wav of illus¬
trations that evinced much thought
and admirable patriotism. His address
is highly complimented on every hand.
The music, both vocal and iiistru
mental, was very .appropriate and
charmingly rendered.
An original poem read by Miss An¬
nie Jennie Ivon non was highly appre¬
ciated and generally complimented.
Thus closed the observance of a
beautiful custom that we trust will live
forever in the affairs of our sunny
Southland.

Simon Jackson, Jerry Willis, Steve
Ashley and Alike Gibbs, all gentlemen

The two first named were charged
with a fisticuff, near one of the color¬

Queensbury rules were shamefully
ignored by a resort to scratching and

The two latter named were charged
with disturbinging the peace and out¬
raging the dignity of the town by en¬
gaging in a light on the streets.
