Other cities are ahead of us-many of
those of the North-where our friends
are full of ardOr to keep alive the memory
of the great Christian soldier. The peO-
pie of Jackson, Milan, Brownsville, Cow
ington, Dyersburg, Paris, Humboldt, Rip
ley and Bolivar should be up and stirring
in this matter, and promptly send their
mite to swell the grand total of tribute TO
the immortal Jackson. The people of
North Mississippi and Of Arkansas ought
also be up and doing to rear a monument
TO the hero Of the late civil war.
