this city announces the appointment of
Miss Nal Scott of Rosedale as sponsor
for the Dallas meeting of the United
Confederate Veterans.
The above announcement Will be read

in Mississippi, but elsewhere,
A year ago Miss Scott was appointed
by General Cameron, then the comman.

D, VS., as chief Maid of Honor for his
division at the re union in Memphis
How well she met the requirements of
the position is shown, in part, at least,
by the fact that General White has APP
pointed her sponsor for the Mississippi
Division at the reunion to be held in
Dallas Texas April next.
Miss Nal, as she is universally called
by her friends, is the accomplished
daughter of one of Mississippi's most
distinguished sons, the Hon, Charles
Scott of Rosedale, and has inherited
from her talented father many traits of
head and heart, happily combined with
those lovely characteristics which are
inseparably connected with the women
of the Yerger family-her mother being
a daughter of Col. Alex Yerger.
This charming Mississippi girl has
been given every advantage, gradual

spent winter in Washington where she
enjoyed the gayety of society of the ma.

lINcoLN'S LAST STORY.
Pardons and the Patagonian Style Of
Eating Oysters.

The last story ever told by President
Lincoln just before he left the White
House to go to the theater on the night
ne AaS-kiHsd esThie is --Eouehed- by
Thomas r. Pendal who is the Oldest en-
ploye of the White House and who went
with. Mr.; Lincoln to his carriage on the
fatal night.
II have every reason said Mr.. Pendel,
for saying that the last pleasant little
story Mr.. Lincoln ever told was right
here in this house. As is generally
known. Speaker Colfax and Mr.. Ashmum
OF Massachusetts were the last men to
cali on the President prior to his de-
called / carried their cards TO Mr.. Lin
coin. and l know that they were the last
to see him. However, not very long be-
fore they came. Mr.. Lincoln had received
visit from Marshal Lamon. who was
from the Presidents home district. and Il
was Mr.. Lamon who had introduced me
to the President when l received my APP
poiptment in November, 1864. Mr.. Lamon
wanted to talk to Mr.. Lincoln about d
pardon for an old friend guilty of some
slight violation of army regulations.
The. case was thoroughly, gone over by
the two. and with pen in hand, Mr.. LIN
coin was " tie act of signing the paper
which would make the soldier a free man
when he turned to Mr.. Lamon and said:
'LamOn. do you know how the Pat
asonians eat OYSTERS?
NO. L do not, Mr.. Lincoln was the
reply;
out of the window, and when the pile of
shells grows to higher than the house,
why they pick up stakes and move. Now.
Lamon. I feel like beginning a new pila
of pardons. and guess this is a good one
to begin on
1T wasn't long after this before the
other gentlemen came. and after they had
. finished their call Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln
came down and | went with, them to the
carriage. That was the last time l saw
the good man alive"
Mr.. Pendel says that he had every OPP
portunity to study the President for ne
was In the room with him nearly all the
time-a bodyguard. Mr.. Lincoln did not
like the idea of being guarded. and made
frequent objections to having some one
constantly near him. On one occasion he
said to Mr.. Pendel:
"Pendel, / do not like to be guarded. but
l have received a number of threatening
letters lately. | have no fears. however
That fellow We saw over at the War De-
partment crouching at the foot of the
stairs. and who eyed me suspiciously an
