AcooMAc Court HOUSE, Va.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1898
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. h, Va, as second-class matter.

The committee which will meet at
Parksley next Monday, 10 select q
site for the monument to, the Con-
federate dead of the Eastere Shore,
will be guided in great measure, we
presume, in making up their minds
in the matter, by the wishes of the
people of the Eastern Shore generally,
rather than by the few in certain
localities who want it as an orna-
ment to their town. Another thing
which will go very far towards in
huencing them in making up their
decision, we take it for granted, will
be the interest heretofore manifested
by the people in different localities
by their contributions aud otherwise
in the monument, and the query OF
course will be suggested and must be
taken into consideration by them,
where will it be most tenderly guard
ed and carefully watched over in the
years to come, to speak for them
when they have passed away and the
noble cause for which they fought
and died. That Accomac c. H. is the
place for the monument, in the opin-
ion of most of the people Of Accomac,
we believe, and submit in proof there
of the hearty approval with which
an article published in previous
issue of this paper, advocating the
Courthouse as the site, was received
in many sections of our county. as
to the interest shown by the contri-
buttons. it need only be said, that the
people of Accomac G. e. and vicinity
have raised one-fourth or more of
the fund in hand. Will it be better
taken care Of at Accomac G. H. than
at any other point in the county?
The fact, that it would be in a great
measure under the protection of the
officers of the court, is sufficient an
swer, perhaps, and the interest mani
tested By the citizens OF the Court
house and vicinity in the monument
in the past, certainly gives a reasona-
BILE assurance of what may be expect.
ed OF them in the future. The citi-
zens of no section of the county, OF
course, should be the custodians of
the monument to the exclusion of the
citizens in other parts of the county
and it should be erected, therefore, at
a place visited most by all of the citi.
zens of the county if you would give
them an interest in it. Is not that
place at Accomac c. n? We believe
it u.s.. and think that the committee
will agree with us in the matter and
so decide. In considering the ques-
ton, we have taken it for granted, of
course, that Northampton would not
claim it but look to the committee
later for a monument at thei.' county
seat. The old soldiers deserve to be
remembered at both places and we
shall not have done our duty by them
until they are thus honored and the
principles-not, (which they believed
to b e right" but which were right
are thus perpetuated.
