be added to the "Soldicrs' Monument
fund" The public arc cordially invited
to attend. This Is to be considered as
matter that the public ought to be es-
pecially interested in, and one that is
ev cry way worthy of their support, and
although it has been taken up by the
members of the Post with a determine
ton and zeal that is to their credit, yet
the burden should not be permitted to
rest wholly upon them, and they have
taken this method to give all all oppor-
tunity TO aid In tho enterprise. Let
them not be disappointed, but rather
let them know that the memory of the
"slain in our stead" is fresh to-day, and
the benefits derived from the sacrifice
are held to be shared in perpctuating
their memory. Come ono and all. No
pains will be spared to make the enter
tainment first class one, and to make
a duty feel pleasure. BY Order.
