is the fact that in tn" south panel

TIE nEMM,NG MONUMENT
Interesting And Impressive Exercises
At lis InVcilimg

At lis tmyeiling
The unvriIng of the Charles b.
Hemmlng monument at Jackson
vile last Thursday deserves more
than ii passing notice. The un-
usual things that transpired TO
make 1t an epoch IN the history Of
Florida give it a prominence that
can not be di~regarded. The MIS-
tory Of the generous donor in con-
nectiOn with this monument alone
is worth a tablet Of enduring
bronze.
This labor of love consum-
mated IN enduring granite is as
worthy Of immOrt Atty as the i'm
perisha BILE shaft that marks the
record of the brave Floridians
who battIed for their convictions
and submitted them to the arbit-
rament of war. The donor,
though a mere youth. was a gal
liant participant in the late strug-
gle, and could appreciate the he
rOiSm Of his associates.
The close Of the war left Mr..
Henming, with thousands of
others, pGnniI"sS, but cheriShing q
secret am bitiOn that. if he succeed
ed in life'S battles to secure a COM
potency, he would remember his
fallen comrades and rear to their
memory a monument which for
all time should proclaim their un-
dying deeds. The same spirit
and ndomitablc pluck and high
resolve that made Charles b.
Hemming a model soldier and a
