thanks to the kind friends for the
offer of a school in Savannah, but

An Historic Souvenir.

Among the tokens of remem-
brance which reached the COURT
Err household on Christmas eve,
was a dainty little floral souvenir,

tains wild flowers, grasses and
ferns from Lookout Mountain and
the battlefields of Missionary
Ridge and Chicamauga. The flow
ers are beautifully pressed and ar
tistically arranged and the cOlors
as bright as if plucked only yes
terday. 1t is indeed valuable
little souvenir and one which we
highly appreciate.
