Hall a Thousand 0 N. I. Students
Added Prestige In Marching
Columns oi Troops And Oc
casion Was Beautiful.
No other citv in Georgia gave such a
demonstration in honor of the departed
heroes of the Sixties as did Milledge-
ville last Monday on Memorial Day. Al-
j most a couple of thousand people par
ticipated in the ceremonies and the Jday
was an impressive one. The thin ranks
of Veterans were honored by a dinner
at the court house, served by the R. E.
Lee chapter U. D. of C. and in the af -
ternoon the crowd, headed bv the G. M.
band, followed by the Baldwin Blues,
the G M. Cadets and the G. N. & 1.
students, marched out to the cemetery
where the ceremonies were held. CapL
Jas. M. Little, wns marshal of the day
ard serving him well ns aides de camp
were Messrs. Otto M. Conn and Chas.
H. Whitfield.
The speaker of tho day was Col. G.
R. Coffin, of Augusta, who was intro
duced by Hon. Jos. E. Pottle ae.d both
the introductory address and the address
of the day were the greatest of
their kind ever known here and will
carry an impression through the years.
The decorntions at the cemetery were
elegant. Mr. Coffin said in part:
Ladies. Beloved Survivsrs, Fellow
Citizens of Baldwin County:
I deeply appreciate this ‘honor which
you have conferred upon tie. What, an
inspiration! Your historic memories
clustering about this Seat of State
Government in the "times that tried
men’s souls,” and these beautiful y«ung
faces—the promise of Georgia’s future
glorious womamhuod!
Once every year, when the world is
flushed with at* tender grace of beauty,
the subtle incense of lleaf and bloom in
the soft A[»ril air, the arch of Heaven
bending in benediction over us, these
dear women cover the mounds with im
mortelles as deathless us their fame;
these ever-lessening battalions, in lov
ing remembrance, make thoir.pilgrim-
age to the consecrated dust of their
comrades who rest in quint "God’s
Acre" until the eternal Reveille shall
sound from the battlements above, hut,

War is the epitome of History. Its
records are written io blood. We trace
the march of Lime bv monuments, and
the days that the Temple of Janus were
closed were but intervals between wars.
Red are the garments of Mars, and in
| his pithway lie the ruins of nations,
i Aprils have been eventful in our his-
i tory. The midnight right of Pau
Revere aroused the Minute Men of Old
J Concord, and at Lexington on April 19,
| IT75 was "fired the shot heard round the
world,” and the torch of liberty enkind-
! lei.
April marked the Alpha and Omega
i of the Civil War. April 12, 1861, a few
minutes before 5 o’clock, Beauregard’s
j guns announced the Genesis of [the
^ -‘irrepressible conflict,” and four years
later, April 9, 1885, Lee’B handful of
half-starved, wearied soldiers laid down
their arms, and Johnston surrendered
to Sherman on the anniversary of this
day.
The War was an epic tragedy in four
acts. The prolog began years pri or to
1861, with tho very Inception of our
government. The North and South dif

A well defined movement to construct
a fertilizer factory for Milledgeville this
fall insures another new enterprise for
the city. The men behind tho matter
are well known in business circles and
are in close touch with the farmers and
they will no doubt do good business as
the fertilizer proposition is now regard
ed as one of prime importance in agri
culture.
The manufacture of goods at home
will mean money saved to the farmers
and at the same time it should piove
profitable to the operators.
