HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY
VOL. XXIII.
TUB EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP Or FIGS
is duo not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

WELCOME ADDRESS
Of Hon J. Q. Nolan of the C. T. Zachry
Camp “U. S. C. V.”—- Delivered in
Behalf of the Ga. I>iv. U. 8. C. V.,
Welcoming Visiting Sons in Atlanta.
As tbe rising sun in the Eastern sky
causes the crystal dew drop to sink
into the bosom of the rose, giving uew
life and added beauty, so does the ris
ing of the Sous of Confederate Veter
ans upon the hotizon of Southern
patriotism cause the refreshing dews of
tenderest memories to fall into my
heart, bringing new life and renewed
beauty to those grand principles that
gave birth to the Southern Confed
eracy.
The honor conferred upon me today
is euoagh to arouse the pride of aDy
Georgian.
My uoble Commander having placed
me upon this honored post of duty, I’ll
stand here upon the picket line of
Georgia hospitality and as you ap
proach fire into your royal ranks euch
shot and shell of love and esteem as the
Great Commander-in-Chief has placed
in the armory of my heart. If I fail
to catch your admiratiou and esteem
for our grand old State I can but re
treat and notify nobler hearts and more
eloquent lips to prepare to meet the
invading hosts of chivalrous Southern
manhood, and we will sound a sacred
revielle calling into action every brave,
true Georgian, that we may capture
youi hearts, imprison them within the
walls of Georgia’s generous homes and
place arouud them the Knightly guard
of deepest devotion.
No emotion of doubt or fear lurks
in our heart, as panoplied with the
armor of love, our martial tread tender
and swift as the wooing whispers of
peace falling upon the brow of bravery
we meet you here upon the banks
of the Chattahoochee.
For our reinforcements lie safely
intrenched within the happiness of our
Georgia homes, haloed with the
hues of Southern hospitality, and
they are brave, tender and true —those
whose eyes have caught from the can
opy of love the sparkle of its rainbow,
whose cheeks reflect the blush of the
flowers when kissed by the rays of the
morning sun, whose lips are as sweet
and pure as the velvet petals of the
roses they wear upon their bosoms,
whose hearts and lives glow with the
grandeur and greatness that God’s
graces have garlanded upon the brow
of Georgia girlhood. When she raises
the gem-studded Sceptre of royal wo
manhood and demands surrender, you
can but stack the aims of rebellion and
axuiad the arms of peace aud love.
Georgia's eloquent singer, Sidney
Laeier, the poet Laureate of the South,
vrl ose M»ul catehiDg the rythmic oa
deuce from the murmuring waters of
! &e Ocmulgee, minstrelled some of the
j sweetest thoughts in the semi quavers
!ui harmony, said that “music was love
in search of a word,” and could I today
but grasp the band of his hallowed
muse aud sweep those cords that would
charm with the richness of their deep
est diapasons, the swelliug emotions of
ay heurt would full upon you sweet as

environed with the personal magnetism
ot Georgia’s gifted sou, the peerless j
Grady, whose royal rhetoric sparkled
like gems upon the kingly brow of
thought, I could stir your soils with
the passionate impulses that burn with
ii my own breast.
The Princely Nazarene standing
upon the fertile fields of Judea and
gazing upon the lillies that lifted their
velvet lips in worship to the sun, eulo
gized them with the language of a God,
and standing here today upon the rich
soil of Southern nobility and Knight
hood, I would that I might borrow for
one brief moment tbe eloquence of
heaven’s oratory that I might pay fit
ting tribute to the puntv and beauty of
the flower <?f Southern manhood before

me. Here where the hand of infiuite
wisdom has lavished its luxuries upon
the lustful heart of man, in this sacred
Southland, her mountains belted with
bands of gold and richer in the teach
ings of tradition than the pyramids of
Egypt, her rivers mingliDg their mel
low minstrelsy with the music of mills
and machinery, her hill® and valleys
glowing with the royal riohuess of fruit
and Hower, her magnificent forests ex
pressing their blessings in the arcs and
angles of architecture, her agricultural
lauds waving iu beauty as the nodding
heads of its golden gtain bow in greet
ing to the passing wind, we love and
worship her grandeur and glory.
But this does not constitute her chief
greatness, this is not tbe mysterious
casket iu which the hand Omuipotout
has placed the priceless j-wel. Her
treasures lie not in tbe hull aud valleys
that encompass her natural resoutces
or industrial development, but iu tbe
matchless morals of her people. A
nation’s wealth is not weighed by
carats, but by character; the brightest
gem's that glitter iu tbe crown of our
Christian civilization are those brave
moral heroes who stamp the impress of
their lives upon the thoughts and hearts
of those arouud them. For when the
heart is pure, brave aud true, when
thought is chaste, ambition is holy and
impulse is sanctified, life is garlauded
with the laurels of love and the v'ltues
of manhood and womanhood bloom
forth into an ideal of beauty that a
sculptor cannot carve, an artist cannot
paint.
The responsibilities of life are ripen
ing around us in the sunshine aud
shower of each passing hour; discharge
them we are heroes, shirk them we ate
knaves. Around us are falling the
golden apples of Hesperidet; let us
gather them as we go, for they are
the opportunities we seize m the pres
ent that will gild with glory our com
iDg years. Wasted opportunities
debauch character, debauched character
wrecks human life, wrecked human
life frescoes the gallery of God with
its saddest scenes.
Opportunities approach U 3 with veil
ed face and winged feet, unrecognized
till they come, fly by too swifty to be
recalled and we can ouly catch
glimpses of their fleeting forms as we
gaze through the dim vista of tbe past.
Let us buckle on the armor of South
ern Knighthood, hasten to the field of
conflict, draw from the scabboard of
Confederate honor the blood-stained
blade of truth and right, with the gol
den threads of love fasten tbe Bonnie
Blue flag to the Stars aud Stripes and
beneath their silken folds win a con
quest that shall forever perpetuate
those grand principles of justice that
gave birth to American freedom.
My noble Comrades, Sons of Con
federate Veterans, you are here today
to foster, magnify and perpetuate the
most sainted memories that ever
brightened the pages of any nation’s
history. Nobler, more devoted sons
never assembled to pay homage at the
shrine of a braver, purer, truer sire
bood. Next to the hallowed blood
that stained the brow of Calvary and
flowing from its sacred summit is fast
changing the channel of human civiliz
ation, that which is dearest to my heart
!is the blood that flowed from tbe
wounded side of tbe Confederate sol-
I dier; the empty sleeve that is blown by
! the Southern winds against his manly
I breast is a nobler badge of honor than
I that ever worn at the Court of uuy
I King; the sound of his crutch upon the
pavement about us are notes in an
oratorio more sacred and more sublime
than any ever conceived in the soul of
Mozart or Beethoven. Sols of nu’ulest
sires, whooe glittering swords carved
their pathway to glory and to fame, I
am proud to stand before you today
and tell you though with stammering
tongue how glad we are to meet you
here where Georgia’s pluck and pro
gress have erected above the ruins aud
wreckage of Sherman this grand and
glorious Metropolis. Building upon
the ashes he scattered upon his
pathway to the sea, the highest, noblest,
purest expressions of earthiy civiliza
tion and happiness, our generous,
genial Southern home*, where hospi
tality flows as swift and free as senti
ments of heroism, patriotism and

bravery from the loyal hearts of its
noble manhood and womanhood.
Homes where sublimity of character
crown every father King aud mother
Queen, with royal blood coursing
through the veins ami colortug the
cheeks of their childhood, that were
built upon the wreck of shattered
hope®, bitter disappointments and
wasted fortunes by the iron hand of
that invincible faith that liugered iu
the breasts of our conquered heroes.
Sweeter memories never clustered
round a nobler cause, braver men never
fell iu defense of a purer principle.
They tell me the cause is lost, bur,
when it was lost thß world had found
the purest gem of manhood, the most
glittering jewels of patriotism, the
bright duster of heroism that ever
Hashed upou a field of blood and brav
ery and glowed with dazzling splendor
upon the pages of human history.
They tell me the cause is lost, but
when the Southern Confederacy went
down in struggle and travail, from her
womb came forth the birth of tru«-
heroism and above the manger in
which lay this hallowed child there
rose a star whose glittering rays caught
the attention and claimed the worship
of the true men of every land aud cout -
try. The star of Georgia’s chivalrous
mauhood mingling its sparkling rays
with the other glittering gems of the
Southern Conlederacy has thrown a
glamour over the pages of history dttz
zling the eyes of bumauity itself. It
is to the hearts, homes and hospitality
of such heroes I welcome you today,
aud 1 thank God for those sublime
heroes of the South both in public and
private life who have blessed the world
with Christian chivalry and left ex
amples ablaze with the light and life of
Christ. I thank Him for our martial
spirits that bathed their patriotism in
the inspiration of their prayers and left
to us the legacy of a generalship guid
cd by religious faith, Such sublime
characters as Robert E. Lee aud Stone
wall *J'.cksou that could mingle their
Christianity with their martial valor,
displaying a Kuightly chivalry and
heroism that charmed the world. Ene
mies who cursed the cause for which
they fought have lifted their bats and
bowed their heads in reverence at the
grandeur of the men. When Robert
E. Lee with head uncovered, his sil
very locks kissed by the balmy breezes
of Virginia, looked through his tears
into the faces of the heroes in gray and
said : “I did not have to suriender.
I could take you noble men and cut my
way through any army in the world,
but I surrendered rather than sacrifice
the life of another one of you brave
boys,” he gave to the world an exhi
bition of his true greatness. The
name of Lee is the center of that bril
liant Constellation around which re
vo'ves the planetary system of South
ern pride and patriotism. Oh! loved
and loving Lee, the admiring gaze of
nations was focused on thy greatness
as the white winged courier of peace
bade thee sheath thy blade upon the
hill of Appomattox; thy falling tears
were caught in the sacred chalice of
our devoted memories, thy sighs of re
gret minstrelled the sweetest strains
with which w« chant thy praise, no
flowers are blown with hues of fitting
brightness to add lustre to thy laurels,
no syllabled phrase from the golden
alphabet of speech can pay just tribute
to thy worth, hut our hearts are echo
ing the noble sentiments of a history
that records thee iu “war a hero, m
peace a statesman, in life a Christian.”
Let us as sons of such heroes do our
dutv, discharge life’s sacred obliga
tions; then will God stamp His signet
of nobility the brow and diadem
our lives with the brightest gems ot
manhood that ever sparkled iu the cor
one! of a country’s citizenship. When
duty comes and bows, let us kneel at
her feet, accept the burden of respon
bibiiily ehs places upou our shouluoio,
take her fair baud, implant upou her
cheeks the kiss of betrothal, lead her
to tbe altar, beautiful daughter of God,
let Christ himseif perform the nuptials,
pronouncing a blessing richer than that
which gladdened the hearts of Jacob
and Leah, as we lead her away vowing
for her to live, for her to die. Speak
ing for brave, bold Georgians, I tell
you we love and honor you because in
your hands are placed the protection
and happiness of Southern girlhood,
the purest type of God’s sublimest
conceptior; no more sacred trust was
ever reposed in the honored heart of
loyal Knighthood. Prove to the world
that the sword of honor, wielded by
