1.-The women of the SOUTH" says Cen

their care of the resting places of their
dead, perhaps because of the customs
peculiar on this side of the Atlantic to

comrades quietly to become a part Of

How
Grants Papers
Were Saved

URING the Federal occupation
of Holly Springs, Miss, Gen

Mrs. Grant, took up his quar-
tiers in the beautiful home of Colonel
Harvey w. Walter, which had been
left III charge of Colonel Walters
friend. Mrs. Pugh Goyan, a devoted
daughter of the C~onfederacy. Accord
ing to the military usage of those cruel
days, General Grant might have oc-
cupied the house by force of arms, but
instead of doing SO wrote a courteous
note to Mrs. Govan requesting the ia
vor of board for himself and family,
with the assurance that he would in
commode her as little as possible. Mrs.
Goyan graciously assented to his re-
quest, and never by word or act, so it
is related, did any of the Invaders
make it needlessly unpleasant for her.
On one occasion while General and
Mrs. Grant bad gone to Oxford on a

Holly Springs. His object was to de
stroy the commissary, ordnance and

supplies concentrated there and there
by thwart and defeat the purpose of
the Federal commander in the onward
march of his c%onquering army through
Mississippi, Vicksburg being General
Grants objective point. The raid was
a complete surprise and perfect sue
cess, and an immense supply of stored
ammunition was captured and destroy
ed by the C~onfederates.
Failing to find General Grants otfi-
cial papers at his official headquarters,
General Van Dorm and some of his fol
lowers dashed down to the Walter resi-
dence. Entering the house and hastily
ascending the broad stairway, the
clanking of their sabers and rafting of
their spurs resounded through its great
halls. 1t was the purpose of the Con-
federate to search General Grants
apartments for the latter's campaign
documents, but just as he reached the
head of the stairs Mrs. Govan, a strik-
ingly beautiful woman. with the man
ner and bearing of a queen. appeared
suddenly before him and said:
General, l entreat you not to enter
Mrs. Grants bedroom. Such an in
trusion would do for a vandal, but not
for southern soldiers"
Earl Van Dorm, u man Of graceful
figure and courtly bearing, whose chiv-
airy was only equaled by his unques-
toned and answering courage, re-
piled: Madam, the rules of war are
sometimes ironclad. 1t would be a
courtesy and not the usual practice Of
war to leave the room u~nsearched.
However," he added, with a merry
twinkle in his eye, I'VE will not en-

service. You have saved my campaign
papers. All the documents General
Van Dorm wished We're in the drawer

Mrs. Govan was deeply grieved that
possibly she had injured a cause for
which she would have given her hearts

When the distinguished Federal com

Several times thereafter the house was
