Major Charles NJ. Blackford's Contribu-
ton to the Confederate Museum.


Major Charles NJ. Blackford. the we'll
known Lyachburg lawyer, has made a re-
cent contribution to the Confederate Mu-
scum, whose value to the future historian
can hardly be Overestimated.
This consists Of two handsomely-bo
volumes entitled Memoirs Of the War"
1t is compilation made principally by
Mrs. Blaokford of extracts from her let
ters to her husband and his TO her during
the four eyentful years from 1861 10 20.
AS Major and Mrs. Blackford wrote each
TO the other with faithful regularity and
kept each other informed of the events
of every day, this compilation is abso-
lutely unique and of inestimable value as
a faithful portrayal of the life and labors
of our soldiers in the field, on the one
hand, and OF our noble women striving
no less heroically, on the other in the
"daily round the common task" When
Major Blackford visited his home and
there came in consequence a lapse in the
correspondence. Mrs. Blackford has sup
piled the necessary links by extracts from
the diary of Major Blackfords father,
whose clear, wise and often prophetic
comments are a most valuable addition
to a work, which, in its entirety is. per-
haps, the most readable record OF the
war. which has ever been printed.
Major Blackford explains in a written
statement inserted in the book that this
is not a published, merely printed
volume, since the number OF copies is lin
tied to the few he desires for private
distribution.

| been donated, while numberiess promises
| OF donations remain yet to be fulfilled.
A specially characteristic feature Of the
bazaar and one that will most highly
commend itself, will be the almost entire
elimination OF the much-abused method
OF soliciting votes and chances in the
hall. This determination on the part
Of the general committee will find favor
with the patrons of the bazaar, as II be-
speaks for them absolute freedom from
being solicited at every turn they make
for a vote or chance.
NUMEROUS LUXURIES.
No fears need be had, however that
ample ans will be provided for
those who attend to spend their money.
This naturally being one Of the principal
objects in view, the smallest detail In
this respect has not been neglected. The
restaurant department, under the super
vision o fthe ladies Of ST. AIMS Society
Will be a principal feature and the ex-
cellent bill ofsfare provided by them will
serve as tempting appetizer TO the
most fastldiOus gOurmand. The ever
tempting Ice cream parlOr presided over
by pretty misses. and where the young
men will be found treating their best
girls, will be in strong evidence. Then
there will be Lady Bountiful, who for a
small sum will dispense 10 her patrons
ali kinds OF fancy articles. These and
sundry other methods 10 make the ba-
zaar financial success have been pro-
vided and. as stated, the smallest detail
