TO THE COUNTRY PEOPLE.
All who are in sympathy with
this movement and the principles for
which the South poured out her best
blood, are requested to take part in
this matter and bring the children in
that they may mingle in the throng,
and aid in making it an occasion
worthy of Montgomery county, wor-
thy of the cause and one that they
will never forget, but will delight in
old age to detail to the next genera
ton the events of Jeff. Davis Day,
and speak with pride of the mite they
contributed to the great Davis Con-
federate monument. A convenient
place will be selected for the enter
tainment of the children, and what
grand holiday ii will be! What
charming scene will two or three
thousand lovely children, happy
girls and boys, make for older people
to gaze upon with rapturous delight
Attend your Sunday. schools next
Sunday morning and after the SER
vice is over talk to the children and
their parents about this matter, or
ganize committees, and provide ways
to bring the children in next Thurs
day and see that every child is pro-
vided with a mite, if it is ever so
small, to contribute to the monu-
ment fund.
All old Confederate soldiers, their
wives, sons and daughters, and all
who sympathize with the movement
are invited to attend, and those who
cannot be here will collect up contri-
buttons for the monument and send
them in on that day. The invitation
extends to our Kentucky friends and
all adjoining counties who mingled
with Tennesseeans in the struggle.
Come and bring your children.
