LEE FOUGHT HIS
FINAL BATTLE IS
YEARS AGO TODAY

In these days Of warfare it is inter
esting to recall the closing scenes of
the great struggle between the North
ern and Southern States of America
which were being acted on the stage
of Virginia half century ago.
1T is just SO years ago today that
Glen. Robert E. Lee played his last
strategic card in the losing game of
war. Calamity he held the defenses
of Petersburg and Richmond, but he
realized that the end was near unless
by some desperate experient he could
break his way through the blue line
at Petersburg. In that final expe-
ditEon of his brilliant strategy Lee
chose as his agent Gen. John B. Cor
don, the hero of eight wounds.
In working out his scheme for en-
abling the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia to escape from Grants grasp at
Petersburg, Lee directed Gordon to
head $4,000 men and seek to fight his
way through the Feleral lines at Fort
Seadman. This stronghold and its
earthworl1s had in the rear three
other forts, and all were protected by
tangled wires, sharpendd rails and
other Instructions.
| Gordons job was to capture Fort
Steadman and the forts in its real
and thus open way by which the
whole army could pass through the
IUnion lines and fall upon Grants left
wing.
1t was shortly after midnight or
March 26, 1865, that the Confederate
attack on Fort Steadman commenced
Taken by surprise, the Union pickets
were captured, and the axmen of Cor.
ldon's force cleared away the obstruc-

toward the fort and captured it, ant

eral in command, who had beer

The daring plan seemed fated tt
succeed. But there remained the
three forts in the rear. The detach
ments sent against them blundered il
the dark, and missed their way, 81

far from the stronghold they had beer

not seem to be much hope for any

When asked about the removal of
Mrs. Roswell as matron of Hillside
Home, Superintendent Thorne said:
This action has been taken solely
with a view to economy. Her work
as matron has been highly satisfac-
tory, but as there is also a head nurse
in the institution and the duties of
head nurse and matron can easily be
carried on by one person there is not
the slightest reason why two salaries
should be paid. Miss c. A. McNair,
the head nurse, will, after April 1,
perform the duties of matron and
head nurse and I have every conf
dence that she will perform them i'll

Dear Mother and Dad:-This is nv

hot one it is. l sure believe sthat
this is Sunny France. We are now at
another camp about thirty kilometers
from the lines. (about eighteen and
three-fourths American miles) we
could hear the guns all afternoon like
distant thunder. We have not heard
anything more about joining our com.
pany, in fact we are beginning to
think we will never be with them
again. AS far IS we know we are as.
signed to another battery.
When we left our first camp we
hiked about two miles to the train,
we rode on that for two days and two
nights, arriving at our destination ir
the morning. The trains they have
here are small but they sure d.
travel. For a while we thought the
cars would leave the track, bu
through some kind of good luck W,
all arrived safe and are ready to q
some more. We came through som,
very pretty country and quite a few
large towns. One thing l noticed GU
here, the people do not seem to hav
any use for lumber for building pur
poses. All the buildings seem to b
built of cement of some kind an
of brick.

Dear Friend:-Was glad to get
