An Ola settlsrs, Monument.

Mn. EDiTOR AS monuments are the
order Of the day, and u very appropriate
way to perpetuate the memory OF those for
whom they are erected, and believing it is
| duty we owe ourselves as old settlers Of Rock
| islanu county 60 build "a monument tor that
purpose, and as there must be beginning
allow me, through your valuable paper, to
suggest a way in which, believe, monu
ment can be built, to-wit by allowing all
settlers that were in the county before ls4j,
whether they belong to the old settlers as
soclation or not, to have their names inscrib
| ed on the monument on payment of Tive dol
lars, and the like am cunt for any friend
whose name they wish TO have inscribed on
the monument. do not believe there is an
old settler but what is able and willing to
pay that amount, and q majority much
more-say from ten to one hundred dollars
which will make enough to build monu.
ment that will be an honor to the old set
tiers. hope the ladies belonging to the
| old settlers will feel interested in this work
and do their part and then we can rely on
the gentlemen to do theirs-for the gentle
men never refuse to work with the ladies
and then we shall have a monu nent with
log cabin on it, such as we all had to live
in when first settling here. We wish to hear
from others.
z. r. b.
We prefer to know the names of our cor
respondents, but as the above communica
ton proposes matter Fn~ d;~~~aslon mere
y, ..uo one IN which many of our citizens
may feel an interest, we give place to it
without moving its paternity. If the old
settlers wish to pay from s. to 500 to have
their names cut in a piece of marble, we
think the suggestion of" ~. R. B." affords
them a good opportunity.

that parents send their boys after the mall but this
should not be permitted for it would be much better
to keep your boys at home at night and do without
the mail until morning, than allow them to go out
under the cover of the sable curtains Of darkness and
contract bad habits. Parents should curb their eli
