Present For General J. B. Gordon
F. M. Hill of McKinney, Tex., who served during the civil war under Quantrell, and B. S. Ellis of Cadduo, I. T., who served under General Bedford Forrest, both horsemen, have selected a beautiful blood bay horse, 15 1/2 hands high, six years old, without a blemish, perfectly trained and gaited, to be presented to General J. B. Gordon as a present from ex-Confederates at the reunion to be held in New Orleans in May next, says a special dispatch from Guthrie, Okla., to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. This horse is now in the possession of Ellis at Caddo and will be shipped to New Orleans ten days before the reunion, to be ridden by General Gordon in the procession.
