Throughout all OF Virginia yesterday
the hand OF loving sons and daughters
strewed with fair and fragrant flowers
the graves OF the mighty, host Of fallen

Of the younger generation upon the life
and deeds of those who have gone be-
fore TO a record OF toll and care and
suffering unspeakable.
In Richmond the day passed much as

elsewhere. The threat of unpropitious
weather dissolved itself into the blue and
glare of a clear and hot summer sky,

thousands gathered, grateful for the
weak breath of wind that stirred among
the tree tops. The sacred quiet OF Holly

bright with the red of the old flag. was
invaded by ten thousand souls. the leafy
avenues resounded with the chatter of
many voices, the ancient hills rever-
berated with the rattle of musketry and
the roar of cannon, and through the
trees rolled the chant of the assembled

words that spoke Of love and hopefulness
in Immortality here and beyond. The sun
was sinking before 1t was all done. The
sad, sweet sound of taps stole over tho
