Cedar Co. Soldiers Monument.
The beautiful Centotaph, erected to
the memory of the gallant Soldiers of
Cedar county who freely offered up their
lives in defense of our glorious Union,
is now, through the liberality of the
citizens of the county, placed in Monu-
nlent Square in the town of Upton
But in order to protect it and make it
complete, an iron railing is required.
Some $500 was subscribed for that pur-
pose, on the 4th of July last, most of
which has been collected, and with some
additional contributions, makes now in
the hands of the Treasurer Of the Asso-
citation the sum of $3.50. The lowest
price for which suitable iron railing
can be procured is about $3.50, to which
must be added the freight and hauling
of the same, together with the cost of
cut stone foundations for the posts. 1t
will therefore be necessary to raise by
contribution ut least Sl0O more to COM
plete the undertaking, and have in the
chief town of our county a memorial
that would do credit to any of our pop
ulous cities.
A last appeal Is now made to the pat
riotic citizens of the county. There are
doubtless few among us who have not
yet had an opportunity afforded them
of aiding in this laudable work, and it
is hoped that all such will cheerfully for
ward their contributions to the Treas
urer. Two or three of the townships
have given very trflng sums, and will
it is hoped, in this hour Of need, send in
further donations.
The Board of Directors ask as favor
that all well disposed citizens will take
the matter in hand at once, and if any
of their friends and neighbors have not
yet contributed to the cause, advise
them to do SO, SO that the fence can be
procured and completed within thirty
days.
BY order Of the Board of Directors.
