The Alexander II. stephens Monument.
AfJqufg CODSfjfltfjO0

Yesterday Mr.. c. T. Boggs, General
Agent and Corresponding Secretary of the
stephens Monumental Association, reach
ed the city and began a canvass for sub
scriptions to the fund for the erection Of a
monument to the late Alexander II. Ste
phens. A Constitution man met Mr.. BOggs
and asked him to outline the plan upon
which the association proposes to operate
and the general scheme as it has been
decided upon. Mr.. Boggs said that it was
proposed to purchase the Liberty HalI'
property-erect thereon a suitable and
appropriate monument, and to keep the
property as near as possible in the same
condition as it was in when Mr.. Stephens
left it. ''Liberty Hall' VIII thus become,
he said, as Mount Vernon, a consecrated
spOt--a Mecca for the people of Georgia.
1t is the purpose and design of the assO-
citation to establish a first-class high
school, to be called the "Stephens High
School" The exact plan of the school
will hereafter be determined upon.
"How much do you propose to raise:"
asked the reporter.
cit is the intention for the present to
raise as much as $4,000. We will raise
about 50, 600 in Taliaferro county. 1t is

''When will the property be sold by the
eXecutory'
at will be sold in November and we
have until that time to raise ten thousand
dollars of the money. That is what the
Liberty hall property will cost us. That
includes everything, even to the library,
which is a very fine one, and originally
cost eighteen thousand dollars. The house
cost about thirty-fve hundred, | believe,
and there are other improvements. The
house is on a piece of ground Of
about twelve acres in size. 1t is our in
tentiOn to raise the ten thousand
dollars first and secure this property and
then work on and accomplish the other
objects for which the association was
formed, namely, the erection of monu-
ment to the memory of Mr.. Stephens, and
the estab fishing of a high school, to be
known as the stephens High SCHOOL,"
The association will do its work through
local associations, some OF which have
already been formed. An association will
be formed by some of the ladies of At
lanta in few days. Miss Bunnie Love
will be one of the leading spirits in the
Atlanta association.
