SOLDIERS And SAILORS.
An Effort to Raise More Money for the
Monument on Libby Hill.

The Confederate Soldiers and Sailors
Monument Association some time ago de-
cided to call on the several counties OF the
State for contributions of 800 each to pay
for the completion of the monument which
is now in course OF erection Oh Libby Hill.
The Association has just issued 4 circular
letter for that purpose, which has been sent
to the several county judges in the State.
The letter, which is signed by President ID,
c. Richardson and Secretary Carlton Nc
Carthy, contains the following:
IL has never been the desire Of the Asso-
citation that this work should be one Of
merely local interest. 1t was intended that
here. in the capital of the Confederacy. u
monument of this character should be
erected. in which every ex-Confederate, and
all who respected the virtues OF our soldiers
and sailors and admired them for their pa
triotism and valor, might feel an interest.
We desire that this monument shall DO a
tribute by all of our people 10 the constancy
and patriotism. the courage and heroism OF
every Confederate soldier and sailor. and
that it may stand for ages as a memorial Of
those men whose fortitude was equal TO all
their su%fferings; whose courage failed not
in deadliest peril; who never faltered in
their devotion to duty in the midst of dis
aster; and 70 the memory of those who
sealed their cOnstancy by heroic deaths.

pictures Of the soudsn People.

Not only in Richmond. but wherever
they have shown the Soudan company
has made a very decided hit. Especially
is this so with the children Of the COM
pany who are so well remembered here.
When the show was in Richmond Mr.. w.
w. Foster. the Ninth-street photographer,
took several hundred negatives for these
charming little people. AS an evidence
OF their success, they have just ordered
from Mr.. Foster another large lot Of the
photographs. These pictures have had a
wonderful sale throughout the whole
country. Mr.. Foster has been compelled
30 work his entire force overtime, and
10 put on extra help 10 meet this order
coming as it does just at the time Of his
big holiday rush. He has his work so
well in hand, however, that negatives OF
Richmond people made this week can be
completed in time for Christmas presents.
