| Cumrades-We are called to assemble on
Memorial Day, Monday, May 80, 1898,
again with fragrant flowers, sweet music
and patriotic eloquence shall we stand be-
side the graves of our comrades who have
already answered the long roll CALL and
pay to them the tribute of our hearts af-
fection, of our loving remembrance of
their gallant deeds, and over the little
green mounds which are now their BIZ
vouacs, renew our devotion to their MEM
ores and to the cause for which they bat
tied.
Let loving hands place the evergreens
and the rose, the lily and the violet on
the grave which mark the resting places
of our soldier and sailor dead. Sweet
voices shall sing their praises, and fer
vent hearts shall teach eloquent tongues
to reverentially voice gems of thought in
memory of our heroes. Many comrades
who marched with us one year ago will
not be with us this Memorial Day, for
"On Fames eternal camping ground,
their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round
the bivouac of the dead
