embarrass the movement toward a mouu-
ment at Austin, started soon after the
death OF General Ross. In the course OF
the discussion the fact was recalled that
the remains OF General Albert Sidney

the Austin chapter, United Daughters of
the Confederacy, raised a fund, built d
mausoleum and December rs, 1898, gave
the hero suitable honors. carrying out his

dent; Mrs. +, W. Burger, the secretary,
