sissippi Fortunately Mr.. 10. Davis
who always managed the business af-
fairs of Mr.. Davis, took no part in the
war on account of his advanced age
and the titles of the eX-president' S
landed property were vested in his
name. When therefore Gen. O. O.
Howard. Chief of the Freedman's Bu-
reau, claimed the property as aban-
dOned lands 10. Davis came forward
showed the title deeds recorded in his
own name and laid claim to them. This
claim being indisputa ble was at once
allowed and so they reverted to Mr.. Jo
Davis and the property was thereby
saved from cOnfscatiOn. As the ex-
president was sole executor of his
brothers estate he was once more left
in control of his own property and in
dividually managed his plantation up
to the time of his death In fact it was
while on the return from a visit to his
magnificent Brierfeld plantation to
look after his crops that he contracted
the cold which, assuming finally the
form of a cOngestive chill ended his re-
marka bic life.
The present gathering is looked upon
as the last general meeting of ex-Con-
federates which will ever take place.
and every effort will be used to make
it a memora BILE occasion. The observ-
ance will be one of quiet tone and gov
erned by n sentiment of regret for the
dead Confederate leader, which not

All that is mortal of jefferson Davis,
for four years the President of the
Southern Confederate States Of Amerl-
ca, will find its last resting place in
Hollywood cemetery, Richmond, on
Wednesday, May 81
Richmond, the capital of the Con-
federacy has, after an earnest appeal
been granted the privilege Of guarding
henceforth what to h"r citizens are
sacred ashes.
The city OF New Orleans, which now
praciousIv surrcndcrS the fOdy Of Mr..
Davis, made equally ao earnest q"
effort TO retain them in her care hut
the decision Of Mrs. Davis turned the
scale in favor Of Richmond "nd now
that city is preparing a resting place
for his remains. This friendly contest
between the cities as TO which should
have the privilege Of paying this last
honor to Mr.. Davis commenced imnc-
diatcly after his death.
Richmond offered 10 Mrs Davis abso-
utcIy a spot within the city limits for
this purpose and any site which she
might select as a site for a monument
to be erected by the Southern people.
After long dclibcratiOn, her assOcia-
tions Of the past with Richmond and
the ties Of kinship and friendship with
her people decided Mrs Davis in favor
Of that city.
The site selected by Mrs Davis and
donated by the city OF Richmond occu-
pies the centre Of Monroe Park, pleas
ure ground near the centre Of the most
important residential portion of the
city. The park, though established
only a few years ago, is beautifully i'm
proved and well covered with hand
some trees 1t comprises several acres
Of gentle eloping green sward inter
acctcd with gravel walks and flower
beds No designs have yet been sub
