e! In the battle's crest Flash your proud lances, Lead where our bravest, best Column advances! The beautiful memorial service of Vicksburg Camp, Confederate Veterans, preluded by music by the band, was then read by the camp's chaplain, Rev. Nowell Logan, the responses being recited at the same time by the veterans with grand effect. A chorus of fifty singers rendered the hymn used in this service. At its close thirty lovely little flower girls led the way to decorate the graves. The Bivr hearts are cold, Or we've unthankful grown. A symbol 'tis of love to wreathe With blossoms ev'ry spring. An inspiration, for all high And noble aims, to live and die This monument shall bring. A grand anthem by the chorus closed the ceremonies, and was followed by the benediction, pronounced by Rev. Nowell Logan. It was a glorious day for Vicksburg, one unmarred by any unpleasant incidents. Many of the visitors have already departed, and most of them will leave by the trains to-night.
