A Famous Visit.

Many of the Confederate veter-
ans will go to Richmond-for the
first time since they followed
jackson and Lee through the
valley of Virginia. They will find
a vast change from the days when
the whole country ran with blood,
from the 6,206 battles fought by
the opposing armies. And it will
possibly be the last time that
many will witness the center of
hostilities. The trip will be long
remembered by those who look
over, the scene of long ago and
follow memories hack to that
carnival of blood and tears

visited the scenes of many happy

we were married to the best wo-

was so well arranged and the pro-

that every one voted the outing
one of the best they had ever
attended. We could with pleasure
specially mention those who made
special efforts to make our stay
