It IS earnestly hoped that not only the ladies of the Association, and the old soldiers,but the public generally will be in attendance. The 26th of April should be dear to every Southern heart, and all who may come, may rest assured that they cau listen to an address of rare excellence and beauty ; besides the atten dant exercises will be so ar¬ ranged that a sacred duty will be blended in harmony with the truest andtenderest emotions of the human heart. The ranks of the old soldiers are growing thinner each year, One after another answers reveille “beyond the river. Let US all strive to make Memorial Day one of pleasant reunions thronged with tender memories of the day’s that are past—and let fair and loving hands bring each year “Not garlands for festal or banquet, Nor roses for pleasure’s array; But only the beauty of sorrow, To spread on the graves of the gray.” Advertised Letters.

Mrs. Amorita Greene died at the home of her daughter, Mrs J.W.Tay ; lor, two miles from this place, on the evening of the 30lh of March, 1896, at four o’clock. Mrs. Greene was 68 years of age, and had been a great sufferer from lung troubles for many years. We have known her for twenty odd years. She was a noble woman, and wo believe, a true Christian lady; a consistent mem¬ ber of the. Methodist church. She lias always been a prominent figure in the sick looms of tins, and Warren coun¬ ties. She leaves a daughter and sev eral.grandehildreu, besides a large, baud <>f friends and relatives to mount Iter departure, but she has gone up on high lo receive her reward and rest in the arms of her blessed Redeemer. She was buried at Sharon Methodist come tery on Tuesday evening, the 31st inst., >6 three o’clock. Peace be to the good -Id saint, who has crossed over the .'<■ i. re.,leg m U» .hade.
