AT the meeting of the Association, the
prospect was not very fattering. But few of
the towns were represented, and the tact was
manifest that as a movement Co enlist all the
people. it had SO far failed. But it became ev-
ident upon discussion. that there was deter
mination to build the Monument. and many
who were not present, bad subscribed LIBERAL
". The Association then took such action as
the minutes show, and large amount was
subscribed on the spot many subscribing
from $25 to $50.
The success of the Association is now as.
sured. The Monument will be built We
believe that the people generally viii con-
tribute-that no one will wish TO be without
an interest in this fitting tribute to the MEM
DRY of those who died for us.
The location, while it will not be satistac-
tory to all, will, we believe, meet the appro-
val of the great majority. Here our soldiers
i. were mainly mustered and drilled From
here they departed. many to return no more
Here most of the great gatherings of the peo-
pie of the COUNTY are held. and the Monument
here will be accessible to more of those inter-
ested in it. than at any other place in the
county.
The Mississippi river is the great thorough
fare of the county, and it is fitting that the
Monument be placed upon its banks. in full
view of the hundreds who daily pass by it.
1t will soon become one of the well known
landmarks on the upper river travellers and
tourists viii visit it, newspaper correspond

advertisement of the public spirit and patri-

On Saturday night, between twelve

Owing To the GOODNESS Of the wealth

ness part of town, there was not much
assistance rendered to rxtingulsh the
flames, and even if there had beer,
tie FIRE hqd spread too much to sayc
it from destruction From the most
correct infor nation We can gain,
there WAS but u person abont tho

in the upper story and who was un,

There has been a good deal of silly
talk and rash opinions expressed Il.
bout the cause Of this FIRE. Many Of
tire negroes believe and affirm that
the white folks set fire To the build
ing. We had hoped that all such
fooliShneS had leug since passed from
their minds, and that from Il compar>
alive estimate Of the Southern man
with the Yankee, they had learned
the truth that the former is the best
friend they have in the world. Niue
out of ten of the white people desire
their welfare, and hUve given every

We believe the truth Of ;he matter
is this. Il is kuown that The freedmen
