serve "Our Lost Cause"

Now is the time to get the beautiful
Souvenir of the recent Confederate re-
union and the late war, known as
OUR LOST CAUSE. 1t is work Of
art. which the Dispatch Company has
gotten out at great cost for its SUD
scribers, and put at such a nominal sum
that it is in reach OF all. The picture Is
on fine board. ready for framing. 1t is
beautifully illuminated, and presents
President Davis and Nice-Presideat
Stephens surrounded by their last Cabi-

OF Lee and Jackson. In the centre Is
handsome drawing Of the proposed Jefer-
son Davis Monument, by Mr.. Percy Grif-
fin, Of New York. Under each por-
trait is the fac-simile autograph OF the
parsonage represented. This will make the
picture OF decided intrinsic worth as
memento Of the late war. There is also
an exact reproduction of the Seal OF the
Confederacy, while beneath the portraits
Of Davis and Stephens are draped the
four flags Of the Confederacy. In the
foreground is a picture Of the "Merri-
mac" or Virginia" and a piece Of heavy
