mendable, but entities that old and reliable

A Proposition.

We are authorized by our friend Mr..
GEORGE WooDRINe to propose that if the
people of Pulaski and vicinity will raise a
Gum sufficient to purchase lot in the Gem
etery, enclose the same with a neat iron
railing and remove all the Confederate dead
thereto, he will erect. at his own expense,
a suitable marble monument to their mem
DRY. This is a very liberal proposition on
the part of Mr.. WooDRING, and we suggest
to our people the prOpriety of accepting it
without delay. Every man in This COM
muuity worthy of citizenship among US
will contribute something towards it, and
we submit to every one who feels an inter
est in the matter, if this would not be a
more becoming and substantial tribute to
the memory of our sleeping braves than
t. go from year to year and throw flowers
into briar patch, where they are supposed
to be buried /? The ladies are peculiarly
adapted to the work of raising this sub
scriptiOn. for
''When maidens sue, men give like Gods.''
The work ought to be commenced at
once and completed without delay. A suf-
fcient sum can be raised in a day by a
committee of young ladies who will start
out with only half the zeal with which the
pale sleepers. whom we seek to honor, sac
rifced their lives for US and our cause.

DR.. L1GHTH1LL :
DEAR S1R-I am sorry to learn that you
contemplate leaving Louisville at the end
of the present week. 1 earnestly wish
that your engagements elsewhere might
permit you to remain here for a time longer.
Your sojourn among us, DR.. Lighthill,
will be long remembered by our people. 1t
has been blessing to many. You have
treated me and a female member of my
family with great success. You seem to
understand, as by intuition, the character
of a malady and it's best remedy. You
have a multitude of patients in THE city,
and have not seen or heard of one to
whom you have held out the promise of re-
lief without rendering it. Your entire
practice among US has been a brilliant sac
cess. and l cheerfully recommend you TO
my many friends South, and the public at
large, as physician deserving the almost
confidence.
Hoping that you may live long to be a
blessing to additional thousands of the af-
ficted, am, very truly, yours.
