SAB RATI I SERVICES AT CAMP
LEE BY REV. GEN. CLEMENT
A. EVANS AT 4 O’CLOCK *
P. M.
As the first rays of morning, light
shot across the (Eastern sky, ycstcr
day;the sidewalks began to fill with
people, sonic congregating at the cor
ners, while the majority kept up a
ceaseless moving. At 9 o’clock the
city was in a bustle of excitement,and
the streets were alive with restless
concourse of citizens and visitors.
The heat was intense, and the. con
stant dodging to prevent collisions on
the crowded. wajk%_ kept owri'bodr
warm to theUKriling point Umbrel
las of every description, from the lad
ed ginghams to the elegant silk, were
kept in active use, furnishing shelter
from the scorching rays. Fans were
in demand, the wide spreading pab"
leaf waving in unison with thc ,M<llt y
and many colored air dist f,; !,el ” O1
the ladies, yet, iiotwiUi-'‘ l "^' n = dic
never ceasing move o- 4 ’ the multitude
of fans, collars w-‘ ,ed > handkerchiefs
became dam-'”" 1 lim P> aud thc Pros
piration Mcklcd from forehead and
chccl- The of our union, thc
s t_.es and stripes, was run up on thc
liberty pole, and hung in graceful
folds except when stirred by the oc
casional breezes. Thc red white and
blue floated from thc doors, and win
dows, and from thc tops of buildings,
and every available place of observa
tion was occupied by the fair sex, clad
in edstumes of white, lookjng cool
and Lointbrttblc, aed Uewftchingly
captivating to their sternor escorts,
who were anything but cool or com
fortable.
TBADE.
The stores wore crowded all day
with customers, and the sales all over
the city weiv reported larger than for
the whole week. The boom was solid
and substantial, the dealers doing a
cash business. The encampment will
be worth thousands of dollars to
Rome, and much to induce people to
come to our Mountain City.
THE PROCESSION
formed on Broad street about half
past ten o’clock, the lead resting on
Oostanaula. The Chatham’s were
the first to arrive and while waiting,
for the troops from camp, indulged
in some vocal music which was
highly appreciated by the audience.
At a distance could be heard thc roll
of drums and the tramp of feet, tell
ing of tile advance of . thc troops from
camp, which was waited for in sus
pense by thc surging crowd. After
the arrival of the boys from Camp
Lee thc procession.jvas formed in the
following order:
SELMA CORNET BAND,
composed of eleven men under the
leadership of Whitely King. The
' baud iS undoubtedly “a gqod one and
the members play in perfect harmony.
They headed thc porcession and dis
coursed excellent music along the line
of march. ; Thfir playing Mas been
complimented very highly by the
spectators, and the}' are really de
serving of praise. Next, following
•n a stately steed, was
* COL. CLLFORD A. ANDERSON
And by his request, Adjutant-General
5
Baird led thc the. advance on the right,
accompanied by the stall’of the Cot.
Commanding, consisting of Major
Brooks. Capt. Gaillard and Lieut.
all mounted and riding with
thc dignity and ease of old army of
ficers.
Next followed the Atlanta llattal
lions under command of Lieut.-Col.
Heyward. Although the battalion wa
not but in-full, for although they wade
a good show, tlu) companies have been
organized only a short time, but. the
members give promise of well drilled
men amt they look as if they have en
ergy enough to stick and make a first
class company. One-thing we can say
and that is they conduct themselves as.
genii. ici.H on all
tfm Ahbivllle Hl. c.l ■ i
twenjy-fiA e. men -iii ranks. and mAh- ft
good show of well drilled nnd icaliy
uniformed men. The Hill City Cadet
numbering twenty-eight, followed,
and iigfct.irtarehed the Cherokee Artil
lery Pl um Corps, composed of ‘even
of Rome’s best .voting men.
I ' Jr'ut..’•Eihv.uiD .i. MAvmnmit,
mounted and rode before his battalion
<on -fisting of (he Gale City Guards,
with thirlymoH. tppalijhig with
twenty-five well drilled iiicfi; Rome
Light Guards with tweiity-icight men,
Griffin Light Guardsj with about
twenty-flVe men followed by tlu'ir ex.
(.client drum corps. The Rome Cor
net Band played alternately with the
Selma band; and made things lively
. with some good music.
THE VENERABLE CIIATTIAMS
with over fifty uniformed men and
four guns made a long line in the pro
cession. They were' followed by the
handsomely uniformed Cherokee
Artillery with twenty-live members.
The procession was a long one, and
camo np to the expectation of every
one. The line pafaded Broad street
down to the Rome Hotel, then up to
the City Hall, where they stopped and
gave a short exhibition drill.
Just as the order was given along
the lino ranks, a light shower
camo up and gave a refreshing cool
ness to the atmosphere, xwH<|ll>raC)ng
breezes fronj’tjio rivers' unfolded the
flags and threw them outspread to the
n. there was nothing]
deserving of especial mention nirtu
the dress pa«iitc at the camp ground
at 6 o’cl'”'"- The roads wet* in an
dusty condition, but
notwithstanding this, the vehicles
were kept g®ig to the parade ground
i-n a steady line, and stirred up vast
volumes ol dust, which, settled on
thc occupants and pedestrians. The
same companies formed in line for
dress parade, excepting the Atlanta
Greys, whose place was well filled by
thc Gate Gity Guards. The compa
nies did unusually well, and their ma
neuvers were viewed with interest by
thc large number of spectators on thc
ground. Adjutant-General Gaillard
read thc following general orders:

It, has been generally remarked, n.ascii, that the distinguish-
ing feature of (tie
so many young officers. They arc tl.i: Georgia, and well establish thc
truth of the familiar saying, "Old nmii I’6' ’counsel and young men for war.”
In honor of these han-'.soifio and gii'AjsWging soldiers, we to-day pre. ent our
readers with a picture of Ge pt. joseplgtfk'.v Habersham, of Savannah, who
fell in the bloody battle of Atlanta,S Jißl 1864, a noble type of young
Southern heroes, aA
The Blue niul.tho Grey. *
After the parade yesterday, mo’ii.-1
ing, there was a most, delightful aud.l
prolonged social gatherum of thel
‘‘Blue and the Gray” at tlin Romc.l
tel. |
The party consisted -of Gen. 4Vm.J

-ftjp"ll- Bld.'
D. Baird, the Adjutant General of thijy
State; Major J. F. Brooks and Adju
tant R. G. Gaillard, of Col. Ander
son's stall’, all of the “Gray”.
The ‘‘Blue'’ was represented by
Lieut. Win. L. Marshall. U. on
Col. Anderson’s stall', and one of the
handsonicstand most accomplished of
ficers in the service, and Major Sid
ney Herbert, an ex-stall’oflicer of the
army, but forever ten years a resident
of the South.
At the Battle of Bull Run, July,
1861, Major Herbert was serving with
Gen. Upton on Gen. Tyler’s stall’, and
in that capacity had charge of Gen.
Gardner as a prisoner, anil treated
him with great kindness, giving- him
the medical attention of Surgeons
Douglass and Bacon, and otherwi
providing for comfort. |
After the retreat, and when it was i
made known that Gen. G. was sup- j
posed to be mortally wounded, the
officers of the Union army, who had ,
served with him before the war, wept
to hear the sad news, so attached were
they to their old comrade.
No inoit chivalrous soldier than
;■ Gen. Gardner over drew his sword,and
few have suffered more from wounds
in battle. In the obi army he was
beloved and trusted, and in the Con
federate service ho was eonspicuoi;-
for his heroic conduct.
Yesterday he and Major Herbert
met for the first time since the w battle
in which Gen. G. was so terribly
wounded, nearly twenty years ago,
. yet their rc-union was cordial and
t happy, and they talked over the bloody
battle in which both were made life
, sufferers by terrible wounds.
The entire party present greatly cn
, joyed the stories and incidents of the
. old army and the late war, and the
re-union closed with the following
toast, to which all heartily responded:
f “ The commingling of the ‘ Grey ’ and
the‘Blue’; may it continue in peace
forever and forever.
The Greenville Light Guards.
This excellent company were com
pelled to depart frim our city yester
day on account of pressing business at
• home in Alabama. The buys com
posing the Light Guards are a nice set
and by their gentlemanly conduct an!
'■ affablejmanners, made many friends
in the city. Their departure was r<-
ceived with universal regret at th:
camp ami the well wishes of all a
- them.

It is best to reflect that the business

i known, until the demand from abroad
I can be calculated with some accuracy,
| and until the future of the coal aiid

. shall not know before the first ol
September whether a full yield of
grain will be secured, 'and ea i
probably bo marketed. Until that
time, it will |, e a matter of great un
certainty wh< ther the prices will be
such as to induce free sales of pro
ducts by the western farmers, and if
they do not sell freely, the;, will not
buy largely. A small movement of
grain and of the merchandise sent
West in exchange for if, will give the
railroads a scanty traffic next fall and
winter, and it is high!}- improbable
that there will not be periods of un
certainty and dishea it men t dm ingthe
next two or three months.
