THE PRIVATE SOLDIER.
His Memory to be Honored with Monu-
ment In R!chmond-Heip the Cause


ment In R!chmond-Help the Cause!
In behalf OF the monument to the
Private Soldier and Sailor of the Con-
federate States, whose valor and devo-
ton have won alike the undying graft
tude of our people and the admiration
of the world; and in behalf of the
Memorial Museum to be established in
the mansion occupied by President
Davis as long as the Confederacy last
ed, this appeal is made, to which every
citizen of the Southern States is ear
nestly asked to give sympathy and
support.
1t is designed that the monument
shall speak for each State of the Con-
federacy, of its sacred love and rever-
ence for the dead, the name of each
State craven on the stones forming the
majestic column upon which will stand
the stalwart figure of the Confederate
Private; and in the museum, where
one may learn the true story of that
dire struggle, and imbibe the spirit OF
that self-sacrifice which gladly gave its
all at the call of duty, it is intended to
assign a room to each State Clearing
it's name), in which shall be placed the
sacred relics of the glorious past; and
thatit shall also be represented on the
Board of Managers by a lady regent
from that State. ,.. ,.-..
Throughout the South there are
many patriotic monuments erected to
the memory Of the gallant leaders OF
the Confederacy, but none to the heroic
private, who won it's glorious victories
and bore the severest hardships. These
memorials are to commemorate the
virtues of all the heroes from all the
Southern States.
Perhaps no one spot so speaks of the
people of the Confederacy, or is more
associated with their unparalleled
heroism, than Richmond, the Capital,
on whose most lofty hill, overlooking
those fields once drenched with the
blood of the soldier from every State,
and that on-sweeping river, so gallant
ly defended by the intrepid sailor, it
should be our pride and glory~to rear
this unique monumeut-the combined
ofering'of love and gratitude from the
entire Southern people. And; sn-siy
within the walls where&so often gath
cred the valiant men and true, these
lasting memorials Of the noble sons
and daughters of all The South should
be sacredly guarded, that the Past may
be ever held in honored remembrance,
and our children's children may learn
''How sublime thing It's
To suffer and be strong"
To this end there will shortly be held
in the city Of Richmond q Memorial
Bazaar. In it there will be table, or
tent, for each State, bearing its name,
shield, colors, and motto; and it is ear
nestly desired that each State shall
assist its own table with contributions
of all kinds. This bazaar will be un-
der the auspices of the Memorial Asso-
tions and Confederate Camps, and
direct appeals will soon be sent out by
them to enlist the active cooperation
OF those who never failed to honor
what now is only a memory dear to
every heart-the cause they believed
to be right. -
THE DATE FIXED FOB THE BAZAAR.
The Ladies' Hollywood Memorial
Association, aided by the Junior Holly
wood, the Oakwood and Hebrew Me-
mortal Associations, and all the Con-
federate Veteran Camps, of Richmond,
will hold bazaar, beginning on April
II, 1898, for the benefit of the monu-
ment now being raised to the Private
Soldier and Sailor of the Confederacy,
and for the Confederate Museum, to
be established in the house in which
President Davis resided during the
war. This house having been given to
the ladies by the city of Richmond,
they ask the help of every man, wo-
man and child, in order that the entire
South may share in the honor of erect
ing these two monuments.
Each Confederate State will be repre-
sented by a table bearing its name,
shield, and colors, and articles received
will be given 10 the table which may
be designated by the donor.
It is BETTING that to the dauntless
chieftain and his heroic followers these
two monuments be raised in the Capital
Of the Confederacy, the one spot which
can never lose its identity with the
cause for which they struggled and
died.
