PEOPLE OF NOTE.
Disappearing BrigadIers.


Two Of the most famous ex-COnfeder-
ates now in the Senate win disappear
from national life with the close Of the
Fifty-ninth Congress next March. The
two referred to are Senator Blackburn,
Of Kentucky. and Senator Berry. OF Ar
kansas. Other members Of the Senate
served in the Confederate army-notably
Messrs. Morgan and Pettus. of Alabama;
Mr. Bacon, Of Georgia; Mr. Mallory. Of
Florida; Mr.. McCreary, Of Kentucky Mr.
McEnery, OF Louisiana; Messrs. Money
and McLaurin. of Mississippi. and Mr.
Daniel. Of Virginia-but curlousIy enough
with the exception Of Mr.. Daniel no other
Senator's with Confederate records are so
intimately identified in the public mind
with the lost cause as are AIcssrs. Black
burn and Berry. They entered the SEN
ate in the same year-1SS5-and have been
warm friends ever since. Senator Berry
lost a leg in the battle OF Corlnth, where
the late Speaker Henderson also had "a
leg shot of Senator Blackburn served
all through the civil war. but received no
Gripping wound. The friendship between
these two old Southern barons started in
Arkansas soon after the close Of the war,
MIR Blackburn having moved to that
State from Kentucky and resided there
number Of years. Each has been re-
tired TO private life after nearly forty
years Of conspicuous public service by
the rise Of new elements in the politics Of
their States. Senator Blackburn viii live
on his farm in WoOdford County, the
heart of the far-famed Blue Grass region,
this farm having come back 10 his owner
ship only within the past two years.
