WOMEN OF THE coNFEDERAoY
Proposition TO Erect a Suitable Mem
OriaI to Them.


The Confederate Memorial Association of
Fort Worth, Tex, proposes to erect a
monument 10 the Women of the Confeder-
acy; memorial which will exemplify the
South's appreciation of the love- devotion
and sacrifices of her daughters in those
terrible days of the civil war. In its pros
pectus the monument association says:
IF We should honor the memory of a
single Confederate woman we would do in
justice 10 an hundred thousand. Hence
we propose the building of a single mon
ument TO the memory of all. that will be
more beautiful than marble statuary,
more useful than poetry or song, more
lasting than the most enduring granite.
One under whose dome the Anglo-SaXon
youth of our common country can gather
and while forgetting the animosities of
their ancestry learn 10 live for nobler
purpose than engaging in fTatricidal
strife over questions that should be set
tied at the throne of reason, without am
appeal to the sword. We would erect a
first-class institute of learning at some
point in our glorious southland that will
be the pride of the South and the crown
ing act of the Confederate soldiers life.
An institute 10 be known as the Confed-
crate Memorial Institute, and dedicated to
the Women of the Confederacy
I'VE have organized the Confederate
Memorial Association to promote this
work We offer no fancy salary to any
man. We have no stock by means of which
some greedy stockholder can absorb the
fruits of your labor and tribute of love.
We will register the name, place of birth
and residence of your father, mother, wife
and children for % cents each to become a
permanent archive of the association TO
which future generations attending the in
stitute can point with pride as the foun-
ders of the Institute.
I'VE want volunteers for this noble work
in every county in the South. We will duly
appreciate any favors extended to us by
kind hearted philanthropists from any part
of The world Honorary membership Is eX-
tended to every contributor who had no
part in the bloody drama between Jan. /,
1861, and June l, 1866.
The young lady securing the largest
number of membership for the association
by the first of July, will be given free
ticket to the Atlanta reunion, July q, and
made sponsor for the association, with all
expenses paid.
THE lady securing the largest amount of
contributions to the building fund, will be
made honorary president of the associa-
ton for one year, given certificate of MEM
bership, and free ticket to the reunion, and
all expenses paid.
Comrades, name your candidates for the
contest, and send names to the paper In
which you see this letter, also TO this Of

pectus of the Confederate Memorial Insh-

has thus enlisted the President may order
him wherever he may desire to send him.
This legislation is intended to meet the
emergency of a war conducted on foreign

In the present strained relations be-
tween this country and Spain, il might be
well 10 remember that 1he flight OF birds
was the means of preventing the Spanish
flag from floating over this land, and sav-
ing the United States from becoming an
integral portion of the Spanish kingdom.
During the voyage Of Columbus the mi
grafton of birds to the southwest attract
ed the attention of his lieutenant, Pinzon,
who advised sailing in that direction. Co
lumbus yielded 10 the opinion of his sub
ordinate and steered 10 the southwest and
he landed on San Salvador, one of the Ba
hamas.
Had Columbus treated the migration Of
the birds with indifference, or ignored the
opportunities Of Pinzon, he would have
pursued his original route, and, as a con-
sequence. landed in the vicinity of the Viz
gsnia coast, and unfurled thereon the stan
dard of Spain, a flag that is the symbol OF
slavery and the emblem of tyranny
