The May number of this most charm

nomenal issue in regard to both the quali

are in all sixty-eight pictures, eleven of

and sketches are Also exceptionally good,
and higher praise could not bn givon, for
this magazine already stands at the head
of the ruuk.
A Lively Tints,
From various sources we hear thnt the
Knights of the Golden Star and the Souk
and Daughters of Jacob had a glowing
time of it in Fort Valley Wednesday
night. It seems that both orders were
to have a meeting in Ft. Yalloy that
night, and in some way a quarrel arose,
resulting in the shooting of Morris, the
Grand Commander of the S. A D. ( in
the thigh, aud the wounding of another
person, but to what extent we do not
know.
A Buffffestlsn.
We must confess our Kiirprise at the
meagreness of the Moral offerings on the
soldiers'graves, Memorial day, and the
profuseuess of the Moral tributes on oth
er graves. As this day is specially set
apart for the decoration of the graves of
soldiers, it seems to us the decorations
should be con lined to those graves, and
thut thoy should he literally strown with
Mowers. If the day is to be one of sig
nificance, its purpose should be kept in
view.
The Storm Thursday.
Doginning at 12:30, the miu poured
down for two hours in a way that it 1 moat
convinced us that the weather clerk has
got on a bust, and was lettiug the weath
er take care of itself. It came down so
tost that the sowers were unable to ac
commodate it, nnd ns a consequence
some of them has to break up. One on
Forsyth street was torn ull to pieces,
while another on Hampton street was
badly damaged. It is estimated by Aid.
Dart that $2,000 worth of damage was
done to the city by thu water.

What It Means.
Those who got their mail at tho post-
office Thursday weresnrpris.d to seo the
Amerieus postmark stumped upon the
back of their letters, aud were at a loss
to know tho meaning of it. The reason
for it is that under a rulo of the post-of
fice department it is made the duly of
receiving offices to stamp nil letters with
the date of their reception, so thut the
receiver may know, by comparing it with
the stamp of the sending office, how long
the letter has been on the road, and if it
b*« been unnecessarily long, complaint
should be made, when tho department
will see at whose door the negligence lies.
This system has been in use in Northern
cities for 6ome time, and we are pleased
to see it introdnoid here, as it will so-
cure greater efficiency in handling the
mails.
Death of Z. 8* Bell.
For the post two months Zack Bell has
lingered tfltween life and death, and for
the last two we^ks he h ul b-*oa expected
to die every hoar, but he lingered until
Tuesday evening last, when he expired
atti o’clock. He was about eighteen
years old, of more than ordinary business
abilty, und hail many lrionds among the
people of Amerieus, who fully testified
to their friendship in their solicitude of
his being cared for during bis illness.
Not a night passed but what one or more

impossible for the family to keep watch

Ilecorffaulxatlou of tUe LatliesMemo-
rial Society.
For the past few yei.r* the membjiship
of the Memorid Astoci itiou his been
growing ies< nnd lees uutil iho present
artice members of the society are very
few. This state of affairs arises not from
any want of interest »r devotion to the
cause, for our ladies are ever ready aud
willing with licirt and hand in this labor
oi love, but rather from a lack of concert
of action und uUo a disioution to have
matters to the officers ol the Association.
Elsewhere will be found a notice from
the President calling a meeting of all tbe
ladies of the city who desire to become
members of the society. The object of
To tbe women of the South it due that
most hcautiiul and befitting custom of
annually honoring-tho memory of the
noble dead by strewing their graves with
Mowers—a custom which has become a
national one by its adoption by their sis
ters of the North. It was fitting that the
custom should be inaugurated in the
ttoutli, for it is the land of Mowers, and
their sweet perfume is os incense upon
the altar of devotion upon which so
many bravo hearts laid down their lives.
Defeated in war’s ub: tram cut, deprived of
the laurel of the victor, xHl that was left
the survivors of the war was the remem
brance of the heroic devotion of those
who fought for what they believed was
right and sealed their faith with their
blood;and who, right or wrong in that
faith, were tho fathers, brothers, sons nnd
lovers of those who on this day honor
their memory. These fair Mowers,
strewn by innocent bauds, are fitting
emblems of the peace which has swallow
ed up the strife of civil war, and that
pence whs never better sliu..u than when
the women ol the South not only decked
the graves of iheir own honored dead,
but strewed Mowers over the resting
places of the stranger from the North
who had bravely fallen iu battliug for
wbat be considered tho right. No more
noble scll-abuegatiou was ever displayed
than this, and the peace-ottering thus
uimle should have been accepted iu tho
apir.t in which it was given, and the
laurel ami the willow should have been
interwoven into one common wreath
witn which to honor the graves of Amer
ican soldiers everywhere.
Memorial Day, last Wednesday, was
observed in Ameren* by the olosiug up
of all plaoes of business ut 3 o’clock, at
which time the citizens proceeded to the
cemetery, where the following pro
gramme was curried out:
Music—“Nearer my God, to Thee*'
Prayer, by ltev. J. A. O. Cook.
Kctiitation -“MtiMled Dium,” by Miss
Leliu Crisp, who rendered it splendidly,
ice being dear aud her aeeeutu-
atiou perfect.
Music—'•Ob, Strew these Graves with
Flowers/' by the Arion Club, who deserve
great praise for the manner in which
they gave tills beautiful piece.
Reeitatiou-“Unknown,” by Miss Bessie
DeJurnette. A most beautiful and touch
ing tribute to the memory of those whose
graves are marked ••Unknown,” and ren
dered with a pathos that showed the
speaker to be in lull sympathy with the
spirit of the piece.
Address, by Eli S. Shorter, Esp, of
Eufaula. Ala. We are sorry that we can
not produce this address in full for the
benefit of our readers; but even then they
would lose tho half of it, for we could
not reproduce the full, rich tone and per
fect modulation of tho sp enkcr. It wus a
splendid effort, aud one well worthy of
the occasion. It was an* address thut in
its propriety and sentiments could be
followed after with good effect by North
ern Decoration Day orators, whotooolteu
raur the occasion by splenetic diatribes
against their opponents. His eloquent
tribute to the Confederate dead was one
that did honor to his heart und the land
of his birth, while his equally eloquent
tribute to the stars and stripes and our
common country did honor to u patriotic
heart and a loyal American. No North
ern man could have heard the address
aud wittiessod tho ceremonies of the day
without learning a lesson in liberality,
nnd feeling thut in thus honoring their
dead no rancor tilled the Southern heart.
Iu tho cotirso of the address the orator
iiuotod, with fine expression, a portion
of tho benutiful poem “Cover them
Over,” which we give bolow. *
After the address tho choir song tho
Doxology und thu cougrogution was dis
missed with a benedictiou by ltev. B.
W. Bussey.
The Amerieus Light Infantry then fell
into line and marched to the soldiers'
graves, wliero they fired n burial salute.
Altogether, the occasion was one ol
deep interest, and we were pleased with
the largo attendance auil good order, all
seeming to feel the solemnity of the oc
casion .
Grandly they grasped for a garland of light,
Catchlnc the mantle of death-darkened night.
Cover them over; oh, cover them over,
Parent, hatband, brother and lover!
Crown In you heart* those heroes of ours.
And cover them over with beautiful flowers.
Cover tbe feet, that, all weary and tom.
Hither by comrades were tenderly borne,
feet that have trodden the flowery way*.
Close by yoor own In the old happy daya;
Fed that have pressed In U(e*a opening morn
Rosea of pleasure aud death's pci toned thorn.
Swiftly they rushed to the help of tbe right,
Firmly they atcod in the shock of the light,
Ne'er shall tbe enemy's harrying tramp
Summon them forth from the doath-gaanled
tmpy
Ne'er til I the bugle of Gabriel sound
Will they come out of their couch in tbe gronud,
Cover them over, yei; cover them over,
Parent, husband, brother and lover!
Rough were the path* of those heroes of ours,
Now cover them over with beautiful flowers.
Cover the heart* that have beaten sa high
Beaten with hopes that wire doomed but to die,
Hearts that have burned in tbe heat of the fray,
Hearts that havc|yearued for the home* far away.
Heart* that beat high in the ehargea* load tramp.
Hearts thnt fell low in the prison's lonl damp,
Once they woro swelling 4 wlth courage and will
Now they are lying all pulseless sod still.
Once they were growing with frlcmlsulp and love,
Now their gr- at souls have gone soaring above,
Brave!? their blood to the country they gave!
Then ill her b<»»oiu they found a grar*.
Cover them over; y»-« < ov*r them over,
Parent and lias baud, brother and lover!
Khs iu your hearts those dead heroes of ours,
And eov< r them over with beentiful flowers.
Cover the th >u«amls who sleep far away,
Sleep where their friends cannot Und them to-day
They who in mountain aud hillside aud dull,
Rost whore they wesrled and lie where they fell.
Softly the grans blades creep round their rupose.
Sweetly above thorn tbp wild floweret Idowe,
Zephyr- of freedom fly gently o'erhead,
Whispering prayers for the patriot dead.
So in our miuds we’ll name them ouce more,
So in our hearts we’ll cover them o'er.
Rose* and lilie** and violet* bine
Bloom In our souls for the bmve and the true,
Cover them over, ye*, cover them over,
Parent, husband, brother and lover!
Think or those far away heroes of ours,
And cover them over with beautiful flower*.
When the long yeara have relied slowly away,
E’en to tho dawn of earth'a funeral day,
When at the archangel's trumpet aud trea t
Rise up the fnecs and forms of the dead,
When the great world it’s last Judgment awaits,
When the blue sky swing open Its gttis*
And our long column* rrnreh solemnly thru'
Past the Great Captain of final review.
Then from the blood that has flowu from the
right,
Crowns shall spring upward, untarnished and
bright;
Then the glad ears of each martyred son
Proudly shall b.ar the glad tiding, “Well done,
Bleeriogs for garlands shall cover them over,
Parent and husband, brother and lovar,
God will rowanl those dead heroes of wore,
And cover them over with beautiful flower*.

Deck them with garlands, those hrotheia of ours,
Lyiugao silent, by night and by day,
Sleeping th* years of their manhood sway.
Years they hove marked for the Joy* of the brave
Years they must waste In tbe mouldering grave,
All their bright laurels they waited to bloom
Fell hum their hopes when they fell from the
tomb.
Give them the meed they have won in the past,
Give them the honor* their future forecast:
Give them the chaplets they won In the strife.
Give them the laurel* they loft with tbelr life,
Cover them over—yee, cover them over-

object of tbe institutes will bo for the
discussion of the best methods of teach
ing, ami will n» donbt prove very advan

not completed the selection of the twelve
teachers who are to take charge of the iu
