Communication.

The following communication has
been received by the Journal:
Editors Kennebec Journal:
The announcement that Congress-
man Burleigh has secured a gift of
three cannon from the general govern
ment to this city ought to give every
citizen unqualified pleasure. They will
serve as a great ornament in Monu-
ment park and add very much in char
acter to the beautiful memorial TO Au-
gusta's soldiers i'm the late war
Your notice in this mornings paper
indicates that the Grand Army are to
determine whether or not they can as
sumo the transportation Of these guns
to Augusta and il might be possible
that a majority would think that their
treasury could not stand this call upon
it: which possibly might lead to an
abandonment of the gift.
Without doubt the Grand Army is
the proper body to have charge of this
matter; but it is matter of interest
to every person living here and pub
lie matter as much as the library mon
ument.of any other of the many adorn-
ments which we have in this city
Therefore. it seems to me, as a civilian,
that the Grand Army should not for a
moment hesitate in assuming the
transportation, which undoubtedly
could be arranged by rail or water at
favorable rates. Nor should the treas
ury of the Grand Army be called upon
to disburse the necessary amount.
Their funds are almost entirely used
for very necessary and highly laudable
charity. and Augustus people would
not ask the sacrifice the actual payment
would involve. My suggestion. then,
would be that the Grand Army accept
the gift and that the people generally
pay the transportation. Either by the
city government or by a popular sub
scription. "A properly CARED out con-
tribution of dimes and quarters would
soon raise the necessary amount. with
out seriously affecting any particular
pocketbook. Let the Grand Army
assume the risk and our people will
certainly see them through some way.

wells Mr.. Stevens met his bride in
Los Angeles today, upon her arrival
