We regret to notice that in some sections of the Stare the day was informally celebra'ed, and fear that the memory of our dead soldiers is growing dim in the minds of some of our people. This should not be. Let the day be for ever celebiated with solemn ceremonies, ihat the dead soldiers he never forgot- New Goods At Cost Price.

Each pupil carried a boquet, some of which were very beautiful. These bo- quets were approprately arranged upon the graves of the soldiers--who will hear no more the beat of drum, the rattle of musketry, or the thunder of artillery— bn the memory of whose d?eds of va'or and sacrifice of life to principle will re main a rich heritage to the people whom they died to deft ndso long as there beiris a true heart in a.

O. Byrns calls tbe attention of the public to his business in an adver tisement, to be found in another column. We know Mr. Byrns to be a faithful and skillfuk workman, for we have fully tried him. Now, when you want any work in his line done, you oanoot find anyone who can or will do it any better than Byrns. Read his advertisement. —The building boom, which so animated Waynesboro a little mofe than a year ago, seems to have let up, probably oc account of the short crop last year. The building and ; furnishing of the new hotel, th" Arlington, by Maj. W. A. Wilkins*, makes his brick block complete,, and adds much to the appearance and solid improvement of our little city. Much credit is due the Major for the public spirit he has displayed, and the solid improvements he baU added to our town, and we hope ht* will not tire, as there is much to do. Should our county make a good crop this year, as the prospects now indicate, we hope and expect to hear the music of the saw and h im mer again this fall, ami to see tli• • suiiit of improvement abroad in town. —From every portion of the State C' mes the most cheering accounts from the crops. In our own county tbe people are far in advice of hist year, and with good seasons, plenty will once more be enjoyed in old Burke. The oat crop is much lar ger than usual, and is especially fine —as good as the land will make it— and many of our farmers are depend ing upon their oats to furnish prov ider for their stock in the cultiva tion of their other crops. Nearly all the fall oats that we have seen are heading out, and will hi ready for the blade in three or four weeks—or sooner. The corn crpp is good, far, and s< me of our planters have nearly finished plowing over the fits! time. Many of our farmers are through planting cotton, and a fiw have already commenced chopping. The provision acreage is much lar ger than usual, but is not enough. Another dry year or two will, wo hope, learn our farmers tbe impor tance of raising their supplies at heme. Let us hope that a kind Providence will give us a crood ci;ep \ear, and ihat no accident will hap pen to mar the present fine prospect*. Communicated. In walking ever our cemetery we were struck with amazement ivpon inquiry that there was nothing to mark the last resting place of Col. I, R. Stuigee, iiommanjder of the 30th Gtorgia regiment. Are there no survivors of that once noMe body of men ? He died a martyr to hia country’s cause, and fought his last battle at Malvern Hill. Noble, gen erous brave he sleeps his last sleep in the city of the dead, and I now ap peal to the generosity of bis eurvii- vers to sul scribe a.nd place a atone over him as a mark of our esteem, a monument to his bravery, in honor of him Hiid the “IjoG CnUBe,'* both ever dear in thp memory of every true patriot.
