Green be their graves and immortal be the fame of the heroes who spilled their. blood to uphold a government transmitted to us as a legacy by our pioneer Revolutionary fathers. While to-day we render thanks for the bless- ings which have fallen to our lot, we revert with sorrow to the vacan- cies in our thinned ranks.
