WHAT PURE WHISKEY is

Can easily be ascertained. Smell your

never be admitted to that grandest OF

Says Captain Lee: My father appeared bright and even gay" Captain Lee says that 1t was his fathers strong desire to write history of his campaigns. He went so far as to begin to gather data, but his failing strength and the magnitude or the tack deterred him. General Lees correspondence during this period was very extended and his letters to friends old comrades in arms and public men all express his sodcitude for the South and reflect his desire that patience be shown under all conditions and all con troversies be avoided.
 The following letter is typical of his replies to inquiring correspondents:

A number of we'll known Montgom- cry negroes returned yesterday from Lowndesboro. where they went Sum day to attend the funeral of Rev. Mansfield Tyler. the venerable pastor of the LowndesbOro Baptist Church for negroes. He died Saturday after having served the church as pastor for thirty-f1ve years. Few negroes in the county were better or more fav- orably known than the old man who had been there 90 long among his peo- pie and he was well esteemed by the white people who knew him.
 He was eighty years old and had been in the ministry over forty-five years. He was born in 1924 in Au- gusta, Ga. and was preaching before the war between the States.
 At the time of his death, he was Moderator of the Alabama District Baptist Association (colored). presi- dent of the Board of Trustees of Sell ma University and President of tho Negro Baptist State Convention. all of which offices he had hela for a mum Der of years. He had travelled a great deal about the State and was especial. ly well known among his race in Ala. bama.
