BISHOP PETERKIN'S INTEREST

as familiar with the history Of the war
as any man now living he having been
close 10 Stoncwall Jackson and other
gallant commanders. has been chosen 10
preside over the meeting, before which
De will deliver an address. which viii
doubtless boz OF most intense interest.
Dr. Mcclure will be followed by Grand
Commander Cussons. The speech OF
colonel Cussons will be replete with in
torcst. as he from personal experience
can throw light on many events Of the
war which have been distorted by north
crn historians.
When Colonel Cussons concludes there
will Boz addresses from a number Of the
educators present. and many basic facts
and points Of interest will be brought out.
Colonel Cussons. who was I'm Richmond
Yesterday in consultation with Adjutant-
General Elicit. said that he thought to-
nights meeting would be one Of the most
important since the formation Of the
Confederate organizations and that facts
Of the most vital Importance would be
brought Go light. The result will be, lac
thinks. "a history that children OF the
South may study with the assurance that
the true story of the bitter civil struggle
is keing laid before them.
