SOLDIER BOYS
HAVE RETURNED
EnCampment Was The Most Sue.
CessfuI One Ever Held in The State.
GREENWOOD TO THE FRONT.
Officers and Men Acquitted Themselves
In a Creditable Manner. An
Enjoyable Time.

The soldier boys have returned from
Biloxi, where they spent ten days &c
from August Is to August Il, inclusive,
Tho cncampment was success. The
attendance was not only larger than
that of any previous encampment, but
the discipline was better. The weather
was warm, but the scorching rays of a
summer sun were constantly sabdned
by bracng breeze from the Gulf,
From a sanitary standpoint the camp
was almost perfect and the health Of
the men WAS splendid from first to
last.
Camp Vardaman is an ideal location
for the mobilization of the Mississippi
Militia. With very little labor and ex-
pensc it could be made model. When
Governor Nardaman, General Kecsler
and General Fridge were looking for a
location for the holding of the cncampz
ment Biloxi promised great many
things, including lights and shower
baths, that were not Forthcoming when
the soldiers reached camp and the final
demands were made. These promises
we're made in the name of tho Biloxi
Commercial Club through Mr.. David
Holt. Members of the club now assert
that he had no authority to make such
proposals. hence the business men Of
that progressive little city should not
be censured.
In making arrangements for the next
encampment a better contract will be
made, and it will be made with parties
who have the authority to speak in be,
half of the people whom they assume to
represent.
Governor Vardaman remained on the
ground during the greater part Of the
ten days the boys occupied Camp Var
daman. He accompanied the three
regiments to Beauvoir Tuesday, where
he delivered speech to the National
Guards and to the thirty-one old con-
federate soldiers now living at the
Soldiers Home. His address was one
of tho most beautiful orations ever
heard on any occasion. He urged the
young mon now composing the National
Guartl To live IID to the example st bY
the gray-haircd veterans there present,
paying an exalted tribute to the bra cry
and hcroism Of those who fought Tor the
stars and bars during G four years
of the Civil War.
