ABOUND THE BATTLE OEOUNT.
-—-------
Appomattox, C. IT., Y.c., July 0,
1891.—Editors Kxtkwrisk: 1’lease
allow me space in your valuable p; -
per to describe my visit to the noted
and historical battle ground of Vir¬
ginia Appomattox C. II. Having
heard so many of my aged friends
around Gainesville speak of this
place I thought it might interest
them to know of the surroundings
now. Here, where twenty-five yea s
ago—April 9th, 18U5—the sad tid¬
ings went forth to the South that
Lee, brave-hearted Robert E. Lee,
had surrendered and submitted to
the rule of a people who were tyran-
ical to the utmost extent jiossible for
humanity, we find happy homes,
yeacc and prosperity, where twenty*
tive years ogo their koines were in
ashes, their fortunes destroyed, and
hope dead. There is nothing left
here now to remind one of the dark
days of ’C5 save some few holes from
grape, minnie balls and shells through
old houses.
I went yesterday and stood on the
spot where Lee walked up to Grant
and offered up his sword and hope
for the South.
The surrender ground is covered
to-day with blooming clover, and
blooms just as sweetly as if that spot
had not witnessed one of the most
trying ordeals of the South.
THE SOLDIERS’ GRAVEYARD.
Eighteen weoden slabs marks the
last resting place of Southern heroes
whose spirits passed over the river
that fatal morning—eighteen rude
wooden slabs without names, vythout
records of the kind and loving words
uttered by mother, father, brother or
sister, when they bid them farewell
to go to fight for what they deemed
was right. They lie here neglected,
forgotten by the world. No page in
history, for they were privates; al¬
though they suffered most of the
hardships they did most of the fight¬
ing. Rut they lie here to-day and
no flowers mark their graves, save
the wild may-weed, known in Geor¬
gia as dog fennel. Perhaps it’s a
more fit emblem of the manner in
which they were laid to rest than the
lily or sweet-scented rose would be.
Tho offensive smell of the may-weed
that rude wooden box •
represents m
which , . , they , were placed. , , I liey re; -
‘
resent , the . dry eyes and the hard
hearts that laid them in the shallow
graves to awr.it the glorious ajipia -
ing of the great God and Saviour Je¬
sus Christ, where sectional animosity
will cease, and the Southern man
will shake hands with the Northern
man who fell here at Appomattox,
and there with Jesus reign forever.
Sleep calmly, soldiers dear,
Though few comes here who eare
For the hardships you bore,
For he was a private you know.
Sleep peaceful!}’' be thy sleep!
Though none will come here to weep
O’er thy grave humble and low,
Fcr he was a private you know.
Rest, sweetly be thy rest,
Here beneath A’irgiiiia’s soil,
For your life was a life of toil,
A life of strife and turmoil.
Above thy grave the mayweed shall
grow,
It’s an emblem of the life you bore,
But your souls have found a fairer
shore,
AVlicre the mayweeds will never grow

Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from
practice, having *had placed in his
hands by an East India missionary
the formula of a simple vegetable rem¬
edy for the speedy and permanent
cure of consumption, bronchitis, ca¬
tarrh, asthma and all throat and lung
affections, also a positive and radical
cure for nervous debility and all ner¬
vous complaints, after having tested
its wonderful curative powers in
thousands of cases, has felt it his du¬
ty to make it known to his suffering
fellows. Actuated by this motive
and a desire to relieve human suffer¬
ing, I will send free of charge, to all
who desire it, this recipe, in German,
French or English, with full direc-
tions ior preparing and using. Sent

1 A New Accident Insurance Company
In the South.
A recent trip of Mr. T.oekwood,
the president of the Provident Fund

ance of establishing for his company

which arrangements have been made.

prise the states of Georgia, North
and South Carolina, Virginia, Ten¬
nessee, Alabama and Florida. All

dueled through the Atlanta office,

der able management.
The Provident Fund Accident So¬
ciety has an excellent reputation; has
paid many thousands of dollars to its
members in indemnity, and is a com¬
pany that ought to make a steady
progress in the great new south.
The company has branch offices
ettablished at Denver, St. Paul,
Cleveland, Philadelphia, Washington
and Cincinnati, and is making liberal
contracts with able men that can se¬
cure business. The principal office
of the society is at ‘29 Rroadway,
New York city.—Atlanta Constitu¬
tion, June 9, 1891.
The Southern department is tinder
the management of M. Lee Starke,
and arrangements are now being
made to have leading men of the
South represent the company. Rig
inducements are offered to the right
