Government has expended thousands.
and in which dedication nearly all the
states of the Union were expected to
participate. many having appropriated
large amounts to properly mark with
monuments the sites on which their
respective commands engaged in COM
bat. have, after consultation. decided
to recommend TO Congress a postpone
ment OF the dedication ceremonies
from the coming september to one
wear later. One reason assigned is
that in 1898 the G.. a. X. will meet in
Atlanta at the same time. and this fact
will tend largely TO swell the attend

in progress. and the vast project
