Kitchin.xlemo- cratic candidate lor tne nomina tion for governor, is scheduled to speak in Dallas Tuesday, Sept ember 10th at 1 o'clock p. m. l Lincoln's Last Speech. Washington Post. "One of the most beautiful and pathetic incidents which occur red on that fatal day, April 14, 1865, has never been recorded in the many fine and complete his tories written about Abraham Lincoln," said a brilliant Wash ington society woman, while talking to some mends recently. She had been in Washington all through those stirring times and was tnen speaking ol some of her experiences. I distinctly remember every incident of that day. It was then the custom to dine at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. My husband and I had just finished dinner when we heard that many Confederate prisoners, on parole, had been brought to the city. By the President's order all the Officers had been taken to the old Willard Hotel. : "I sympathized very strongly with the bouth," the speaker smiled,' "and many of my friends were fighting on that side, so my husband and I hurried down to the Willard, thinking we might find some friends among the prisoners and be of assistance to them. "We stayed but a short time at the hotel, and then walked over toward the White House. Many people were going in that direction, and when we ' arrived there were some regiments marching past with bands play ing and colors flying, and the ait was filled with enthusiam and subdued excitement. "Very shortly after onr arrival President Lincoln came to one of the front windows and ad dressed the soldiers and the crowd. "I can never forget that "tall, square form, and the wonderful, benign face as I saw it then," the speaker's voice trembled : in less than twenty-four hours Lin coin was dead. "1 did not hear all of his ad dress, as the crowd was noisy. but the sentence with which he closed it will live in my memory torever. , . ".Lincoln leaned far out the window as be said: . "Now let the band play uixie', it belongs neither to the South nor to the North but to ns all.- "And the band olaved "Dixie". For the first time in four years that air 'was heard in the nation's capital. . ,. . "The great emancipator is dead, but his words will go down with the ages, y and none- are more worthy than those which I have just quoted, for 'Dixie is national to-day." ' Five Million Increase.

United States ; Confress Mas Introduced to , President Pierce by Sam Hons ' ton Colonel Colyar the Biof rapher o! Old Hickory Col. John Ooodo Who Had Charge I Yorktowa Centennial Prominent Southerners o! the War Period Have Ootlived the Northerners. Charlotte Observer. Frequently newspapers in yar ions parts of the South record the death of an old and honor ed citizen and solemnly declare that he was the "last survivor of the Confederate Congress." Col. Hiram P. Bell died in Geor gia last week, and the Atlanta newspapers made the same statement that they made a few months before when Col. W. H. Tebbs passed away, that he was the last Confederate Congress man. As a-matter of fact there are at least six survivors of the lower house of the Confederate Con gress. Singularly enough, four of six are Tennesseeans Col A. S. Colyar, of. Nashville; J. B. Heiskell, of Memphis; J. D. C. Atkins, of Paris, and John V. Wright, formerly - of Purdy, Tenn., but now of Washington City. The other survivors who are known to the writer are both Virginians Rodger A. Pryor, who lives in New York, and John Goode, who lives-in Wash ington. rrobaoiy there are several others still living, as the six named happen to be kuown personally to the writer. If one man knows six of the veterans of the Montgomery and Rich mond Congresses, it is probable that there are others whom he ias not met. The late Senator Pugh, of Alabama,- was also liv ing at the time Colonel Tebbs death was recorded. LIVED INTERESTING LIVES Each of these six old men have lived interesting lives. John V. Wright is now an attorney in the government land office at Wash ingtou, working every day with the vigor of one who forgets that he is four score years old judge vv right is not only a sur vivor of the Confederate Con gress, but he is the oldest living member of the United States Congress. He was nominated for Congress as a Democrat in 1852, but as he was a few months under the constitutional age of 25, the nomination was: with? drawn and given to arrolher. Two years later he was nominat ed and elected, and be took his seat in Congress on March 4, 1855. No other member of that Congress survives. ' Russell Sage, the New York- financier, having been the last of Judge Wright's colleagues of that ses sion. Judge Wright also served in the next Congress, and the only other survivor of that body is Gen. Dan Sickles, of Nfiw York The late Galusba H. Grow, of Pennsylvania, who was Speaker during the civil war, was : for years one of the three survivors of that Congress, one of the most memorable in the history of the country. Judge Wright and Mr. Grow were to fight a duel, but the police interfered and Mr. Grow was una6le. to reach the dueling ground. From this Congress, Judge Wright went to the Confederate Con gress, having been elected as soon as Tennessee seceded. After the war he. served on the bench for many' years, and in 1880 was the Democratic nominee for Governor, but was defeated on account of the divis ion of the party over the State debt adjustment question.

" When he first went to Washington he had a letter to bam Houston, and it was that famous Virginiau-Tennesseean. Texan who took him. to, the White House to-introduce him to the President, Franklin Pierce as "a promising young Congress rnanlrom Tennessee." . . , ' Colonel Arthur S. Coylar, o NashvilUi is theoldest of the survivors, of the Confederate Congress, being now in his 90th year. After be was 80 he under took to writ a "Life of Andrew Jackson," which has bsen pub lished in three- volumes, and which is the ' most careful and painstaking .biography of UldJ Hickory , ever written. Colone Colyar came into hatloual prom inence by his action in ridding the city of Nashville of carpet bag - rule. He weut into court and had himself appointed re ceiver for the bankrupt city, and as such be wound up its affairs and started it off anew. It was the first instance Of a municipal ity being forced into a receiver ship. i Col. John Goode represented the Norfolk district of Virginia in the Confederate Congress, and after the war he setved several terms in the Uuited States Con gress for the same district. .York town is in that . district, and when the centennial celebration of Corn wallis' surrender took place in 1881, Colonel Goode, as Congressman from -the district, was in charge of the ceremonies.. He also represented Gen. G. W. Cnstis Lee in the litigation for reimbursement for Arlington House, taken by the Federals for a cemetery. . ' JUDGE PRYOR LlVlNG. Judge Roger A. Pryor became a famous judge after the war and for many years was one of the foremost jurists of New York. He is now living in retirement. J. D. C. Atkins, of Pans. Tenn., also served many terms in the United States Congress after the war,: having retired fourteen years ago. , lie is still a vigorous man, and takes much interest in the affairs of his home place. Judge. J. B. Heiskell, who represented the Memphis district of Tennessee at Richmond, was a ludge in Tennessee for many years, but is now living quietly at his coun try home. There are several survivors of i the Federal Congress who served during the civil .war period. But one Senator who was in the Senate when Lincoln was Presi dent is now living. William M. Stewart, of Nevada, who retired from the upper house only three years ago, although his service there had not . been continuous. John B. Henderson, of Missouri, whose vote in the Senate saved Andrew Johnson from conviction in the famous impeachment trial, is still living, but he came to the Senate after the war closed. No survivor of the Confederate Senate is known to this writer, Senator Graham Vest, of .Mis souri, "having been the last; It was while his articles signed "A Senator of Two Republics" were appearing in a magazine that the summons came for him. He had retired from . the United States Senate three years before. of his own accord. ; NOTICE. ' We the undertiffl having purchased the iotciest of J. K.
