the project may have a sponsor with

Since it is altogether probable

in that great Legislative arena.

through the civil war. When the
war broke out Mr.. Lee was a
student at the old Masonic Col

er was one Of the wealthy farmers
OF old Lafayette county. When
ne was seventeen years of age he
entered the army and served for
four years, coming home not
quite twenty-one years of age,
with many experiences to his
credit. Mr.. Lee said yesterday:
In 1859 was one of more than
a hundred boys and young men
at the Masonic College. Like all
school boys we played hard and
some of US studied hard. Town
ball and Hot Pepper were favorite
games. In 1861 around the old
college building and over the old
college campus was fought the
battle of Lexington and the same
boys who a year before had play
ed town ball and hot pepper over
the same grounds now fought,
on opposite sides with muskets
