ebrated here yesterday. An apprJp
riate program had -been arranged b\
tile lady officers of the Association
which was most successfully rendered
in every detail. At 4:30 in the
afternoon the procession formed on
Broad street and was led to the ueni-
etary by the 4th Regiment Band.
Col. John D. Harrell in a fine gray
uniform mounted on a handsome
oharger was master of ceremonies.
The procession, in due order of
march, was composed of a large n. in
ber of citizens, the Bainbridgo Inde
pendents, the cadets of the Georgia
Southern Military Collegd ami school
children,Till in showey uniforms ami
holiday attire. With the excellent
music furnished by the band, the
scene inspired each one with the
spirit to do honor to the day and the.
cause it was set apart to commemo
rate. Arriving at the oemetary after
due honors were performed by both
of the military ‘organization!!, the
children and every body else engag
ed in the beautiful ceremony of.
strewing dowers upon the graves of
our cherished heroes including also
ail those who participated iu the
war.
The exercises were continued at
the opera house last night, but on
account of the short time before go
ing to pn-Rs, it would be hard for us
to give e\en a fair synopsis of the
beautiful program rendered. Suffic
ient lime being given it wot.11 be our
pleasure to speak'm detail of the
beautiful music discoursed by the
band,.the appropriate prayer of Rec
tor Mill, the excellent vocal and in
strumental music executed by till the
ladies and gentleman, the elegant in
troductory speech of Mr. A. II. Rus
sell, and above all, of the masterful
oration of the occasion by Rev. W.
L. Richards.

“You seem to have a very nice
town,” remarked the ministerial del
egate, “but 1 am surprised to see so
many barrooms here.”
“Yes,” replied the guide, “wehave
several, and one peculiarity is that
every one of them has three doors.”
“Ah, is that so ? Why arc so many
doors needed V”
“The front doors are for the Prim-
ite Baptises, the side doors are for
the Missionary Baptists, and . the
back doors are for the Methodists.

| , NUT LOST.
Not lost, did you say V .
Oh, no, but gone before,
To wait and to watch
Inside Heaven’s door,
1 loved her long,
And I loved her well,
How much, ah only Go 1
Aud my poor heart can tell.
And now as 1 grieve dear Mai. for thee,
And watch for tlly loved form.
Which I'll never more see, [me
loan hut cry to Heaven, O, save ih«m
You me but lost, from our view,
And resting now iu Heaveu’s own pew,
Where with Jesus %
-You’d call us to.
Yes, dear one your
Night is past.
But ’twere sometime illumined
By brightest paths.
Vet now we kuow l
That in Heaven’s portals, ••
You hear the sweet . trains,
Of redeemed mortals.
And we oup for Christ
To make us yhole
.So that some day.
We too, can enter the fold.
When we little guessed,
Death stole iu
And plucked p uu
From our Lruast,
And silently our tears
Fell at dead of night,
While your dear soul
Was winging its heavttlily flight.
And so "Like a flush of the lightning,
A break of the wave,’,
Dear Jlal, yon were called,
To rest, in the grave."
Best -did I say V
Oil, not for long _ '
F^ir was it not a celebration of
Resurrection morn!
So wounded hearts heml low thy ear,
And kno\v*>ouie day somewhere,
By a clearer tight.
Wo will behold an E utter—bright,
Which will give us hack our Mai,
In robes pure and white;
So with a quiet, steadfast love.
Let us strive to r.nch the city above.
