In addition 10 the other features, this
exposition should be made the occasion
for a great Confederate memorial cXhibi-
ton. Everything OF interest pertaining
TO the lost cause should be scraped to-
gether from all over the country. and
placed on exhibition. There should be
entertainments reproducing Confederate
scenes, after the order OF those gotten
up by Polk Miller and his companions.

be delivered by prominent survivors or
