.rslr a grand financial. as we'll as social
and hstoriCa al success.
The public not only in Richmond and
yireinia. but all over the South. show al
-esdy a very lively interest, and II is
e,pccted that n good round sum will be
ostsincd from the proceeds of the sales
o.. the various tables or tents.
The object OF the bazaar. as has been
stated repeatedly in the columns OF Tho
,-.ncs. Is a two-fold one. One-half of
Oh, net proceeds VII go into the fund
f- the Soldiers and Sailors Monument
Fl, Libby Hin, while the other half will
D.. employed in the fitting up of the old
payls mansion. which has been donated
fr ne city for that purpose. ard which
,l hereafter be used as a Confederate
museum.
There will be different tables or rather
cents for each one of the Confederate
states. which will be in charge of the
ladies' from the various associations in
.sts city. There will also be a tent "Tbe
Solid south" which will be in charge of
,he Junior Hollywood Memorial Asso-
,auon Among the numerous attrac-
lions in this tent will be valuable paint
rc Picket off Duty Forever" 1t will
also contain "A fine collection Of relics
from the late war. which are dedicated
.n memory of oil the soldiers Of the Bar
foot brigade. Among the relics already
,antributed is the VIC oden shaft of an old
infantry rifle which plainly bears the
inscription. 1851" In various places it
ls been hit by bullets, and some OF the
tier are sin fastened to the wood.
The other tents will also receive con-
-r.butions Of old relics which are given in
memory OF some dead Confederate SOL
a.er II is the intention Of the ladies TO
transfer all the relics given to them at
fHc close OF the Bazaar 10 the Confederate
Museum where they will for all time bear
p silent and eloQpent testimony Of the
l-avery and patriotism Of the heroes of
ffe South.
From the present indications It can be
expected that the Lone Star State will
DO well represented at the Bazaar, and
mo arrangements for the Texas tent are
iariily nearing completion. The ladies OF
This city will be assisted by a number OF
rrominent ladies in Texas, who have al
ready appointed chairmen in eacl of the

Austin Corsicana, Marshall and Corpus
christi. Encouraging reports have been
received from these various headquar-
fers.
Tho object Of the Bazaar meets with
the most hearty approval and encourage
ment in the various parts of the South.
few days ago the Daily News. OF Pensa-
cola. Fla. submitted to the people Of West
Florida the appeal Of the Ladies' Memo
Iisl Associations and the Confederate
~ In
ferring to this appeal editorially, the
Daily News makes the following state
ment:
If our cause was sacred and its dead
are martyrs-if the living yet left TO us
are heroes and the recollections Of that
time our proudest inheritance-then this
appeal touches our hearts and will find
d road 10 our support.
The Northern soldier appeals to his
tory from the throne of SUCCESSIVE
Confederate leaves no government to
guard his memory and the archives
which embalm the story Of his devotion
tlie locked in the hands of his foes The
hearts where his deeds are buried speak
no word for the page OF history-the
grave which yawned for so many will
soon receive the last Of the companions
OF Lee and Jackson and Johnston and
Beauregard and Semmes and Mallory and
Dickerson.
ITO preserve what we may Of that
struggle Is a duty due ourselves not less
than 10 those who fell and those who
survive-tO the future not less than to
the past-to our children not less than
20 our fathers. Perhaps the proper care
and endowment of the Confederate Mu-
scum at Richmond by contributions
drawn from the whole South is the last
recognition we may accord as a section
10 the city within which for four years
were bound up our hopes and fears. The
object is holy-our duty is plain.
Within the shadow of that marble
soldier which testihes TO the cause for
which he struggled. Pensacola cherishes
memories too loyal and steadfast TO per-
nit OF disregard or neglect OF this APP
peal. The Confederate veterans here
will take Il I'D and we all shall be glad
10 help"
