The Greene monument is one Of the
most revered of Savannahs meorials to
the heroic men whose lives were assoc
ciated with the city's history. From its
erection until 1856 10 bore no inscription,
ana was known to many IS the monument
without an inscription. In 1856, however,
a bronze inscription tablet was placed on
the north face OF the monument, and on
the south face an alto relieve portrait Of
Gen. Greene in bronze The unwilling of
me tablets was a part Of the centennial
celebration of the Chatham Artillery.
Hon. Jefferson Davis, who was guest of
the city at the time, was present and
took part in the ceremonies.
The history of the monument is in
volved in considerable obscurity. March
2, 1925, General the Marquis de Lafayette,
being then the guest Of the city of Sa-
Vannah, at the request of her citizens,
laid the corner stone for two monuments
one IN Chippewa square, to be erected in
honor of Brig. Gen. Count Casimr Pu-
laski, and one in Johnson square to COM
memorate the eminent survives to the
south of Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Greene.
The ceremonial was solemn and i'm
pressive scene. lafayette was surround
ed by the grand masters. the grand keep
ers, the chaplain, the grand priest, the
king and the secretary of the Chapter Of
Georgia, the governor, Col. Huger, George
Lafayette and others and in the inter-
walls Of the several stages of the ceremony
bands of music added the lofty strains
of national airs to give additional pathos
to the event. The Chatham Artillery, un-
der command of Capt. Peter Blois, was
the military escort to Lafayette and a
salute was fired in his honor from the
Washington guns. On Feb. ], 1926, the Sa-
vannah Georgian" published the follow

TO PARADE IN LEES HONOR.
The Soldiers Tribute TO the sOuth's
Great Chieftain.


The birthday of Gen. ROBERT e. Lee will
be celebrated in Savannah in the usual
manner. Jan 10 is the anniversary, but
as that date falls on Sunday the following
day will be observed instead. The general
order for the parade has been issued by
Col. Mercer, as the ranking commanding
officer in the city In the first paragraph
of his circular order Col Mercer says:
1T affords the colonel commanding the
First Volunteer Regiment of Georgia great
pleasure to announce that the birthday of
Gen Robert +. Lee will be celebrated on
Monday. the 10Th inst, by joint parade
of the First regiment, the battalion of Sa
Vannah Volunteer Guards, the Chatham
Artillery and the Georgia Hussars The
colonel trusts that a very full parade of
both officers and men Will demonstrate
the abiding love of our soldiers for the
memory OF our. great leaaer ana prove that
his lofty virtues and character retain their
hold upon our people,
The parade will take place Monday af-
ternoon The commands have been order
ed to assemble at their armories at 3
O'Clock and to march in time to take their
places in line at $3.50 o'clock. The general
line will be formed on South Broad street
with the right resting on Bull street The
line will form in the following order:
First Volunteer Regiment
Battalion Savannah Volunteer Guards.
Chatham Artillery.
Georgia Hussars.
The troops win march promptly at 4
CLOCK.
The line of march will be on Bull street,
passing on the east side of the squares, to
CASTOR street, CASTOR to Drayton, ana on
Drayton to the parade ground. The line
will be halted on the west side of the pa
rade ground, where the parade viii be dis
missed, and the commands turned over to
the separate commanders. If the weather
is good the commanders will doubtless
exercise their commands on the ground.
This will probably be the last parade
which will be ordered by Col Mercer, as
-f1.,1 h fcs -frvoel fnfaVn a-
mander of the First regiment to the gov
ernor AS Col. Mercer's condition will not
permit him to ride horseback he will be
unable to command the parade, and Lieut..
Col Reilly will be in command. Col. Mer-
GER viii doubtless be on the ground in uni
form and may review the troops. Efforts
are being made by the company officers to
secure a large turnout of their men, in
which they will very likely be successful.

JUDGE NORWOOD NOT READY.
Judge MacDOneIl to Continue on the
bench n Few Days.

Bench n Few Days.
Judge T. NJ. Norwood. as stated in the
Morning News. will not take his seat on
the city court bench Monday as has been
expected. Monday is a legal holiday but
outside of that consideration Judge Nor
wood does not desire to go on the bench
at once on account of some legal matters
to which he has to attend and which will
occupy his attention for several days.
As soon as he qualities as Judge by tax
ing the oath OF office before the ordinary
ne viii be disqualified under the law to
practice law, and as such practice is re-
CURED in the business matters to which
he has to attend. he has asked Judge A.
II, MacDonell to hold over for a few days
until he can dispose of this business. For
this reason 1t win probably be Friday or
Saturday of next week before he goes on
the bench.
There are no particular ceremonies at
tendant upon the induction of a Judge into
office. He has been elected, and has re-
ceived his commission, and all that he has
TO do now is to take his oath before the
ordinary. He will then have his commits
sion recorded on the minutes and take his
seat upon the bench.
