—Mds. A. C. Riley and G. E.
Gilbert were “at home” to their
young lady friends from 4 to 6
last Saturday afternoon, at the
home, of the latter, the occasion
being complimentary to Miss
beautiful flowers, the green leaves,
the delightful odors of spring
gave their memorial tribute un
stintedly.
During the morning the ladies
and girl3 were very busy gathering
flowers|and at the cemetery a num
ber arranged the decoration of the
graves, the memorial shaft and
the speakers’ stand.
At 8 o’clock, the hour appoint
ed, two hundred or more people
had assembled at Evergreen Cem
etery, and the procession formed
in front of the Perry Hotel.
First marched the veterans,
then the Perry Rifles, and then
about fifty children, mostly girls
dressed in white with flowers in
their hands. The orator was in a
carriage with two young ladies.
At the Cemetery, the Perry Ri
fles halted near the memorial
shaft, in double rank, inward fac
ed, with crosssd bayonets form
ing an arch. Through this living
lane-way the children marched to
their seats in front of the speak
ers’ stand.
The exei^ises were opened with
prayer by Rev. B. E. Whitting
ton. That national song, “Ameri
ca,’’was beautifully rendered by a
choir of young ladies.
It was intended to bestow cross
es of honor to the veterans pres
ent, but there had been unavoida
ble delay in securing them.
Col. C. C. Duncan, master of
ceremonies, then introduced the
orator of the day, Prof. Wm. W.
Driskell, principal of Perry Public
School.
For about 85 minutes the speak
er held the closest attention of
the people. The address was re
plete with facts of historic inter
est, earnest commendation in el
oquent terms of the matchless val
or of the soldiers of the confeder
ate service, dead or alive, who
for principle and ’right offered
their all upon the altar of duty
and patriotism. Especially inter
esting was the|showing that south
ern statesmanship and chivalry
was ever foremost in public af
fairs. Leading in the formation
and advancement of the colonies,
in the protests against English
oppression, in the declaration and
acquirement of independance, in
the formation, development and
full growth of the Union. But a
synopsis, though full, cannot do
justice to the orator and the ora
tion. By many it was declared to
be the best ever heard here on
such an occasion. That is exceed
ing high praise, and in response
to urgent requests from veterans
the speech entire will be publish
ed in the Home Journal next
weex.
Directly after thej oration, a
genuine laurel wreath-crown was
presented the speaker, the first
ever bestowed here.
The veterans present were seat
ed immediately in front of the
speaker, and their faces displayed
the intense interest and satisfac
tion they felt.
After the speech, the Perry Ri
fles fired the salute of honor, three
volleys.
After the benediction by Rev.
B. E. Whittington, Mrs. F. M.
King and Mrs. L. S. Tounsley
were unanimously re-elected pres
ident and secretary of the Ladits’
Memorial Association of Perry.
Then the graves of the confed
erate dead were inspected, to be
sure that none had been overlook
ed. Though flowers were not es
pecially abundant, no grave was
neglected, and the decorations
were tasteful and pretty.
The graves of all confederate
soldiers were decked with flowers,
the added distinction of a minia
ture flag being accorded the grave
of each who died while in the ser
vice.
The day was perfect, the people
in sympathy with the occasion,
and the exercises were in admira
ble taste. In loving memory the
tribute was accorded, and the tes
timony is direct that there will be
no abatement of the custom in the
years to come.
