81 know Jefferson Davis Intimately" said
DIR. Divine, of Atlanta, formerly q n~eighbor
of Mr.. Davis in Mississippi, "and the prevalent
idea that he is dyspeptlc or sour is very I'M
just. He is a great student, much gwen TO
his books, and, consequently. not on the
'shurrah'' order of men. But he Is as gentle
as q woman, as apprOachabla as q child, and
his sympathies are readily worked up when
the stories Of the suffering are poured into his
ear. Davis is one of those men whose fame
will come out In bold relief when his detrac-
tors are dead and forgotten"
Mrs. M. r. Field, q native of Lexington, is
among us, visiting her aunt Miss Patty Rein
hard. She is we'll known as Catherine Cole p
q representative of the New Orleans Plea
Il yune. She has been In the Colorado mountains
sending original and racy letters South from
that point, and Is now en- route for Canada
via the lakes. from several points Of which
journey she will furnish descriptive letters.
From Mrs. Octave Pavy, herself known in
the journalistic world as "Octavis,'' we have
the following hearty words of praise, as she
refers to her friend and COLLEAGUE Mrs. Field.
"She and myself lived under the same roof
In the Crescent City, and labored daily togeth.
er as writer's at the Worlds Fair. She is
justly regarded AS the most accurate, original
and vigorous writer of New Orleans, and as q
journalist Is held to be the finest representa-
tive among the women of the South. Lexington
many well be proud of "Catherine Cole" OF
whom the Picayune of New Orleans, and the
southern people are proud. She is very
modest and retiring in disposition and man
, ner. but her pen yields q power that has
caused many noble reforms; and the pathoi
of which has caused many a tear to fall
and won her q host of friends"
{ Major Jno, N. Edwards was at the reunion
last Tuesday, looking the picture of health
! No one enjoyed the meeting more than he. a;
he was among SO many of his immediate
comrades during the war, everyone of whom
knew him and loved him. In the evening,
after supper, while he was In the act of step
