By a special committee he was met at the depot, and in a car riage escorted to the Perry Hotel, where he was most hospitably en tertained. Mine Host Tuttle was especially courteous, and Mrs. Garrison Served a dinner that was replete with Thanksgiving features The table was espec ially attractive, and the viands most palatable. Several citizens of the town sat at the table with Gen. Gordon. The purpose of Gen. Gordon’s visit to Perry was to deliver his famous lecture “The last days of the Confederacy.” From the hotel Gen, Gordon walked to the court house with Mrs. F. M. King, president of the Houston Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy, preceded by Prof. Driskell of the Luceum board and Mrs. L. S. Touusley, Secretary Daughters of Confed eracy. The decorations of the speaker’s stand were made by officials of the Daughters of the Confeder acy, Mdms. F. M. King, E. L. Dennard and L. S. Tounsley. Confederate flags and bunting of rod, white and blue covered the stand and wall at the end of the room, flanked by vaoes of mag nificent roses and other beautiful flowers. At about 2:20 p. m. Prof. W. W. Diskell introduced the dis tinguished orator, in languagage alike commendatory and elo quent. For two hours the famous wor- rior, statesman, orator, held the closest attention of the audience of about two hundred people, There were a number of veterans from all sections of the county. The lecture was all that it has been represented to be, and in its delivery the orator controlled the emotions of his hearers, compell ing laughter,tears, enthusiastic applause. After, the lecture, Gon. Gordon held an impromptu reception, greeting all who came to him with cordial smiles and hearty hand shakes. The younger girls were kissed. No occasion in Perry ever gave more genuine pleasure, though the local Lyceum board paid for the lecture about $20 more than thev received from the tickets sold. : -At the regular meeting of Royal Aroh Chapter.
