I admonish you young men to

of their stars fade; keep them bright
forever. To strip us of our memo

hopes our dead, we would but wan

from the thoughts which make men
brave and women tender. Let them
live forever in our hearts, our noble
dead and the memories of the past.

to battle for {heir country than
your fathers; the men that followed
Cmsar, Napoleon, Bismarck, Wel

or any other leader, were no more
gallant than your fathers were; and
none had a cause half so just or
half so grand. The men that
charged the Russians at Balaklava,

no more gallant than the men who

Now, I’ve spoken to you of the
patriotism which runs riot in the
Southerner’s heart when his coun
try is in peril, and I am now going
to tell you of a patriotism that is
just as commendable in men. When
the war was over did the soldiers
sit idly by ? No. They came home
and went to work to repair the ruins;
they built new homes, new fences,
new barns; they gathered what
little was left and went bravely to
work with the pruniug hook and
the plowshare to fight the battles
over again. The horses that were
cut loose from the cannon at Appo
mattox on the 9th day of April,
1805, were in the plow by the 1st of
May, and when June came the
fields were green with crops and
old king cotton bloomed forth again,
The busy wheels of factories were
soon buzzing; tire lumberman s ax
was heard in the forest felling the
stately pine; the harbor’s were
soon A’led with ships, and the plow
boy’s merry song was again heard
to echo across the old red hills of
Georgia, speaking in itself what a
world of happiness reigned in che
New' South, and showing to the
world what difficulties we can over
come and that the South is still
king. It took brave men and brave
hearts to do these things ; but the
Georgian can do anything,
“No sting is left in the heart of
the Southern soldier for the brave
men who fought us. The great
Captain and Lord of Hosts, who
guides the destiny of men and
nations, directed the result of the
