Rheumatism is due to acid in the

makes them stiff and sore, so that
every movement causes pain. Hoods

Britton Lane Monument.

A representative, of this paper in
company with Rev. Z. b. Mcneil,
president of John Ingram Bivouac,
visited the marble yard of White,
heard IL Co. yesterday afternoon to
see the marble monument which is
to be erected at Britton Lane bat
tlsfield in memory of the confederate
dead buried there.
The first base was placed and set
on the spot where the monument is
to be erected. The second base and
the shaft have been finished. The
monument is to be of pure white
Georgia marble. The shaft is
Pyramidal and weighs about 5000
pounds. 1t bears this inscription:
Erected by John Ingram Bivouac
Sept. /, 1897, to honor an unknown
number of confederate soldiers who
fell in battle on this field Sept. /,
1862, and many of whom are buried
here"
The second base bears the inscrip-
n:''Britton Lane" The monument
will face the inscription, north. The
second base and shaft will be carri-
ell out as soon as the roads get a
little frmer and placed in position.
1t will be dedicated at the reunion
on next September.
The finishing of the monument
has been delayed some months,
owing to the fact that the first mar
bic was faulty and the second order
was delayed on account of the quar-
antine. The erection of this noun
ment is labor of love and its success
has been largely due to the untiring
efforts of Rev. Z. B. Mcneil, of
this city, president of John Ingram
Bivouac, who took up the matter
about II years ago, of marking in
suitable manner the battle field and
of erecting monument to the heroic
dead.-Jackson Wing.
