lowry. Comrades It is with sincere pleasure that 1 greet you today at our annual reunion. Thirty long and eventful years have passed sincethe Confederate armies stacked arms and realized their failure to establish a separate nationality. In this building this hall thirty-four years ago, a convention of the people of this Commonwealth was assembled, and adopted an ordinance prepared and presented by Mississippi's great and gifted son L. Q.

C. Lamar, which was intended to dissolve the union between this and other States, then and now united by the constitution of the United States of America. The final vote that severed Mississippi from the Union presented a solemn scene. Those who witnessed it declare that this old hall was wrapped in silence as deep and as Etill as death. An eloquent divine ofiered an invocation to the Great Master for his blessings and guidance on the important step they had just taken.

After the oxpiration of a third of a century it is doubtless well to leave undisturbed the alleged causes that culminated in the most gigantic war of modern times. Suffice it to say, that a majority of the people of Mississippi believed in their hearts that they had a right to withdraw from the Federal Union and form another, that in their judgment would better promote their happiness. In the exercise of thi3 right which the Southern people believed to be for the enlargement of liberty and the preservation of constitutional government, they maintained themselves for four years, but by reason of overwhelming numbers, lost, as they thought, the richest heritage ever conferred by a noble ancestry upon freemen. When the flag of the Stars and Bars went down, those who hr.d followed its fortunes, and for four years stood upon the front line of fire had to part, and when that hour of parting came, brave men who had faced death a thousand times and who were "unused to the melting mood" found their eyes dim with "the spring dew of the heart" But, comrades, those of us that are left are proud of our beloved State, presided over in all of its departments by those, and the descendants of those who wore the "gray." Especially is it a matter of congratulation that upon these capitol grounds is erected a beautiful monument to the memory of our fallen heroes, that will serve as a reminder to generations to come thaf Mississippi honored her Confederate dead, and in the crypt of this monument is a statue of Mississippi's greatest and most renowned citizen, the President of the Confederate States. For this monument and statue we are largely indebted to our fair countrywomen, who in time of warproved themselves to be the true daughters of the matrons of the first Revolution, and who for the purpose of perpetuating the memories of our heroes who fell on the field of strife, inaugurated the beautiful memorial service of annually dispensing floral offerings over the resting pla.ce9 of those who offered up their lives in defense of a cause they believed to be just, and I hesitate not to say that the future will develop unprejudiced historians who will transmit to posterity the glo-i rioua deeds of those who wore "the gray.

Our annual meetings, comrades, afford an opportunity to grasp each other's hands, and talk over the memories of the war the battles, the victories, the 'and the camp fire stories, yet there is sadness intermingled with our reunions, as each year reduces our numbers. While this is true, I indulge the hope that Confederate veterans will continue to be comrades until the tatoo is sounded for the last of them to "cross over the river and rest under the trees.

The murder was done with a shot-gun Wells claiming he shot the woman in self-defense, but evidence is plain that he slipped up on her and killed her while she was busily engaged cooking her supper. Wells had been engaged to marry the woman but they were at ''outs" at the time of the killing on ac- count of his jealous. Miss Power received teh grains today from Miss Susan B.
