These words wrought the men up to a higher pitch of excitement , and Wiles their leader , wishing still further to work on their feelings , said to Lem Curtis , a blue eyed youth of eighteen : `` Lem , you air de best singer in de bunch , and I want you to lead us in our favorite song . No revenues air near tonight , and we'uns air safe from danger if we'uns do not sing too loud . '' Thus appealed to , Lem Curtis started a well known refrain , the rest joining in heartily . After all had paid their respects to the brown jug Sam Wiles dismissed the meeting with these words : `` We'uns shall meet near de edge of de camp on de east at seven o'clock tomorrer mornin ' , an ' all you fellers be shore to be in time . '' Sunday morning dawned beautiful and bright . The numbers on the camp ground were constantly being increased by persons coming on horseback , in buggies , wagons , and every known vehicles . Jasper Very was the preacher at ten o'clock .
