[West Virginia. — In song and story the birth- days of Gens. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson were commemorated by the Parkersburg Chapter at a dinner. The address of the evening was given by William G. Peterkin, who contrasted the characters of these two great men.
An honored guest was Capt. James R. Mehen, one of the two surviving veterans in Parkersburg and chief aide of the United Confederate Veterans. A beautiful tribute was paid to him and to Capt. George Watson, the other veteran, who was unable to be present, in an original poem written by Miss Katherine Creighton Hays, entitled, "The Sentinel at the City Park."]
