Cpon the summit of the green hili which crowns the national cemetery at Marietta a little knot of gray-hair !cd men stood at "attention" today ; white the band from Fort McPherson I plajed "Ameiica" and "The Star Span i gleii Banner." Above them floated the i -tars and stripes, snapping in the May I breezes: below them stretched row I upon row of tiny headstones marking j the graves of brave men who had come I to Dixie to fight for the I nion and w ho I had novo returned to tell of the vie i tory the- had helped to win. There i were just sixty of the men in faded I blue, all members of O. M. Mitchel I post. No. 1. of Atlanta; three score vet erans of the Grand Army of the Re public who tally once n year to do I honor to their comrades of a half cen- I tury ago. Decoration day. the annual festival i of the G. A. R, does not mean so much Jin Georgia as in the land beyond the 'line. There is no great parade, with ! pennons flying and thousands lining the streets to cheer the men who ■ inarch. But each year the veterans of ' the Union who still survive gather at I the trolley station of the Marietta line ■nd take special cars for the national cemetery, where they pay the same tribute to the boys of the Blue which Southerners on their Memorial day ! give the men who wore the Gray. Anti I he veterans of the Gray arc always in vited to join in honoring their former foes, and always they accept. Many Confederates The e. There were as many men weal ing I I <'onfederate crosses in the throng to day as veterans' with the buttons of the G A. R. Lucius Perry Hills, a kindly old poet, whose verse has charmed thousands in the last decade, is commander of Mitchel post, and it was he who de livered th' opening address at the cemetery. His subject was "The Duty of the Day." and was an eloquent trib ute to the valor of the men who sleep in the shadow of Kennesaw. Adjutant i H. S. Cave read the orders of the day, jand ]•'. A. Jones, of the little post from Tallapoosa, declaimed the masterpiece of oratory, Lincoln’s Gettysburg ad ditss. George 1.1. Leavitt, of Atlanta, delivered an eulogy of the I nion dead, and Rev. George L. Hanscom, of the Central Congregational church, ami Rev. Edward S. Doane, rector of the Episcopal church of Marietta, deliv ered addresses. There followed the beautiful custom of decorating all the graves with flags and flowers. Thin Company F. of the Seventeenth regi ment. U S.
