fair daughters of Spartanburg have quietly
purchased the site of the newly erected Bat
tie Monument of Cowpens, and have nobly

Light Infantry, of this city, the designers
and builders of the Monument. The SPAR
eel of reality thus conveyed in so agreea-
BILE mode and to the proper holders, in
eludes an area of sixty feet square, having
the monument central the titles have been
recorded in the proper Office of Spartanburg
District, and have been forwarded to Char
lesion for similar registration. The citizens
of fSpartanburg are engaged, we believe, in
measures to enclose this lot, and we readily
guaranty that the ladies will see to it that
flowers and other incidentals be forthcoming
