Every word that has fallen from the lips of Comrade Hon. Clay II Sharkey and General Pat Henry, finds an eeho in the hearts of every veteran, every person, man, woman and child, who sits under the uonud of my voice, and we are sure, will find a ready response in the hearts and in the homes of the white people of Mississippi. Am glad to see this appeal so enlarged as to include, throughout our borders the kith and kiu of all those who in the war hetwen the States stood by and fought for this beautiful Southland we all love so well. “Land of the South, Imperial land.
