But perhaps the undertaking that
will attract greater interest through
out the country at large. is that Of the
Department Of Archives and History
TO publish and edit the entire writings
OF jefferson Davis under the title of
Life. Letters and Speeches OF Jeffer-
son Davis. which is an eminently
proper one for Mississippi. and IL has
already attracted widespread attention
throughout the south and nor h. In
evidence OF which DIR. Rowland has
been invited to prepare an article upon
the subject for one OF the leading mag
azines OF the country. The invitation
clearly indicates that the time has ar
rived when the entire country is ready
TO see iuctice done each and every one
