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. —oevs* - —Lost—One note for $93.40 signed by j. £L Clark, due Dec. 1st, 1901.
