This Piece Of Historic Furniture Exhibited in the

This Piece Of Historic Furniture Exhibited in the
West Virginia Building,
The following anecdote about the
Spilman sofa is going the rounds:
1.-THE sofa that Grant and Lee sat
upon at APPROXIMATION when they ar
ranged the surrender stands in the
West Virginia building at the Worlds
Fair. II belonged to Alexander Nc
Lain, at whose house the generals
met. 1t comes from Harry +. Spill
man, who married Miss McLain; 50
it is no doubt about its genuineness.
A secretary accompanies the old high
back mahogany sofa. The tradition
il that the papers were drawn up on
this secretary. Yet another tradition
has it that a table is carefully preserved
in tile war mnseum on which the sign
ing was done by the two generals
Southern women are all anxious to sit
on the sofa where General Lee sat
One visitor studied the situation for
several moments, pumped herself
down on the right hand end, exclaim-
ing IN bet anything this is where he
sat, and pointing to the other end,
that is where General Grant sat. !"
