We take pleasure IN announcing to
our readers that the Mesh iron fence
for the Protestant cemetary, of Ope-
lonsas, has arrived, and that workmen
will soen put it up in appropriate style.
We hope that ere long this long neg
ected City of the dead, will be made
to present conclusive evidence of the
civilization of the good people here
abouts. We have often called atten-
ton to its deplorable condition, but we
trust it may never become our duty as
journalists to do so again. Mrs. ?. A.
Gray. who has devoted months of her
time, and that too, under physical con
ditions which would have deferred al
most any other, has reached a point il
her noble Christian work which leaves
no room for doubling a satisfactory
consummation of it. Her funds are not
quite sufficient, although not far short
IN amount, hut she feels encouraged in
the belief that for the comparatively in
significant sum which may yet. possib
ly be required, those who have SO gen
eFously and kindly contributed, will not
suffer the work to be left incomplete.
They mnst know that, not nickel
of all thai has been paid, has been mis-
appropriated, and that in the vocab-
ulary of Mrs. Gray, there is no such
word as fail.
We know that when the entire work
is once finished, those who have loved
ones buried in the Opelousas Protest
ant cemetaiy, will feel that, all they
have contributed, or may hereafter
give, will be amply compensated by
the qualification, til" enclosing and
identifying Of that precious, silent
final home of those who have gone
and Of those who must go, must afford.

a Noble and Merited Work,

ouf readers may find in another col
umn circular issued by the Ladies'
Hollywood Memorial Association OF
Richmond, Virginia, the objects OF
which are plainly set forth. Great and
successful efforts have been made by
the people of the seeding Southern
states, to erect monuments to the
memory of our distinguished leaders.
There could be no objection to all that
has been done in that line.
Hhe last of our most conspicuons
Generals, E. Kirby Smith, passed away
to his final account on Tuesday the
2oth nit. and it will beceme the priv,
iege as we'll as the duty of the people
OF the Southern States to erect a suit
able monument to his memory, TO the
end that, having distinguished HIM
self among other leaders while living,
he shall stand as a peer among them
IN the monumental evidence of his
worth, now that he is dead.
But we are among those who believe
that the brave soldier in the ranks
the patriot who by his self sacrificing
love OF bis country, shoulders his gun
and voluntarily becomes his country's
stay in the day and hour of its danger !;
who submits to all the =; =atioas,
weary ma..ncs, cuts and scars and
finally surrenders his life, is justly en-
titled TO have his memory and his
deeds commemorated by monuments
as enduring as Time itself The brave
soldier in the ranks is as much entitled
to the gratitude and love of his coun-
trymen as the most worthy of his com
manders. The ladies have undertaken
a great work, and we think our people
should readily respond to their REQUESTS
with signal liberality.
