display our exhibit would have been a flat
failure, and t lie commission would not have
undertaken the work.
Nothing on exhibition approached our
building stones, ami wo felt a pardonable
pride as we stood beside interested visiters
who read our placards, indicating some of
the structures outside (lie state that used

most gratifying compliment paid to tliis

constant demand for seed and the close
study of our gr.i- 's ami grains.

some remarks about people neglecting the
graves of their kindred. That all. 1 did
not know of the existence of Shenandoah

there was a. Colonel Holt, of Georgia., bur
ied a.l Woodstock ami tiiat. the headboard
that had marked ills grave had gone to de
cay. So I sought to find his re! itivos, for
th.' Holts are a notable, and numerous p- o
pl, In Georgia. 1 re.k.m that headboard i.s
Is illegible, forth.- adjutant's li. t gives him
no first name and has him down as colonel
of the Eight*i Hi org! v regiment. Tile fact

mint. Tito Eighth never had a ('"loltel
Holt. I ought to know, lor 1 belonged to
•it. Its colomts were Bartow, Gardner,
Cooper, Lamar and last Colonel To’.'.'t-.
