"The grand commander of the United
States Confederate Veterans of Virginia
made an excellent selection in designat?
ing Miss Mary Russell, of Winchester, as
sponsor for Virginia at the coming reun?
ion of the veterans at Nash rille, Tenii.
Miss Russell is one of the most beautiful
young ladies in the Valley of Virginia,
nnd she is as lovely In character as ic
person. She is a niece of the late Miss
Tillie Russell, the heroine of the beauti?
ful story and two paintings entitled 'A
Night on the Battlefield,' and the selec?
tion of Miss Russell as sponsor is a just
tribute to the memory of this heroic
woman. Further, it is a recognition of
the historic old Winchester, which whs,
perhaps, more frequently fought over nnd
occupied by the contending armies dur'.ug
the late war than any one locality in the
Confederacy."?Baltimore Sun.
