TO REPLACE THE HEADBOARDs.
The Ladies' Memorial Assn VIII En-
deayor to DO This mt lakewood.

deayOr to 10 TINS NJ oak"oo"'
For some time it has been the desire
OF the ladies Of the lakewood Memorial
Association TO replace the headboards
of The Confederate dead buried in that
cemetery.
The boards. upon which were inscribed
the number of the sleeper, and in many
cases his name, were taken away about
seven years ago, because they had de-
caved and almost fallen to the ground.
To replace them by others would not be
so difficult. as the records kept by the
superintendent OF the cemetery give
their names and numbers, and the scheme
OF the grounds shows where the graves
are and the position in which the bodies
lie. The cost of replacing them would
not be a great deal, and the ASSOCIATION
will endeayor 10 raise the amount Tor
the work.
In order to do this, the Junior Auxiliary
of the association, assisted by the Ia
dies of the Senior Association, are going
to give an entertainment at Corcoran
Hall Tuesday evening. Half Of the pro-
ceeds 70 for the fund that is 10 be starter
for this purpose. The entertainment is
under the management Of the president
of the OakWOOd Association, and the
vice-president OF the auxiliary.
II has been requested that the Court
Scene" which elected so much deserved
applause IN the presentation Of Cuban
war Scenes" at the Academy by the
memorial societies, be repeated, and this
will be done. but the remainder Of the
exercises will be entirely new and unique.
The participants in the Court Scene
have all graciously consented to appear
again, and there will be nothing TO take
away from its former beauty
1t would appear that those who at
tend will pass a pleasant evening. and
in doing so aid estimabie and unselfish,
patriotic ladies' in their undertaking.
