arrived this evening from Dry Fork, and
stated that the Daniels brothers, the

capturing or exterminating the outlaws is
very poor. A prominent local paper

Many Of our citizens are still enjoying

The Superintendent of instruction adds
the following:
If the School Superintendent, who is
clerk of the Electoral Board, finds no rec.

it is evident that the party acting as trus.

A MONUMENT TO THE CONFEDERATE
DEAD.-A meeting Of the Monument
Committee of the Augusta Memorial AS
ISOLATION was held on Saturday last. 1t
was resolved to at once commence steps
looking to the erection of a handsome sol
diers' monument in Thornrose Cemetery.
Capt Thos. p. Eskridge was appointed
the Association s agent for the collection
of funds, and committee. of which Capt.
G. Julian Pratt is secretary, was elected
to take special charge of the subject
1t is designed to raise fund ample for
the erection of monument that will do
credit to the people of Augusta and the
people of the South. After canyassing in
this county and State, Capt. Eskridge will
proceed to other Southern States in the
same interest. Should he receive sufficient
encouragement a separate monument will
be erected to the soldiers of each State
who sleep in Thornrose Cemetery, in ad-
dition to the grand central Virginia mon
ument. We trust that the work will go
bravely on. 1t is worthy of the BEST eff
forts of the best men and women. AL
ready it has been too long neglected. Since
the war thousands of dollars have been
raised and expended upon objects not
one-tenth as worthy. Indeed, there could
be none Worthier. 1t should be esteemed
privilege to contribute to such a cause,
and we feel certain that our people will
not be slow in making their offerings.
