Confederate Dead-An Appeal.

The time is near at hand when q report
must be made of the amount subscribed to
the ex-confederste cemetery fund. All those
in Lafayette county to whom subscription
lists for that purpose have been furnished are
expected to report the amounts collected by
them to Joseph A. Wilson, of Lexington, by
the Doth of August. 1t is not therefore amiss
that they should be reminded of the fact and
urged to be active in the matter at once. They
are therefore requested to make q final effort,
and round up their labors by calling on all
who have subscribed, for payment, and by
presenting the matter to u as have not yet
had the opportunity to subscribe to this most
meritorious enterprise. Comrades, fellow
soldiers, friends and relstives,come with your
gift, large or small, and let US send up such
an amount to adorn the graves of our dead
heroes as will reflect credit upon our county
and be somewhat commensurate with the
merits of those whose memory we seek to
perpetuate. WIN. YOUNG,
