designs of this amendment was to break

No steps were taken to carry this Into

In fitting up the Davis mansion for tho
purposes Of q Confederate museum they
would hre-proof II.
Colonel Cu,shaw. Colonel John B.

PROBING. taking the ground that many
persons would not entrust their relics TO
the society unless this was done, and In
this argument they were supported BY
several Of the ladies.
Mr.. r. 8. Bosher, Colonel John b. P,ir-
cell, Judge George L. Christian, and Mr..
2. d. Hotchkiss opposed nre-proohng on
the ground Of expense and for the reason.
As they contended, that the isolated posi-
tion OF the structure rendered II prac-
tlcally hre-proof. A number Of the ladies
also held this view.
Finally. and by q close vote, Il was de-
ctded to hre-proof the basement and the
6rst floor. This will cost S13.500.

agent between Paris and Fort Smith
