The VANCE UNWILLING
Miss Espy Vance to Unveil
the Statue.
A List is Given Of the Ladies Who Are TO Assist
in the Lawn Fete Which is to be Held
on August The 22nd.

indications are that there will be present
on that day larger crowd than wit
messed the unwilling of the Confederate
monument. The railroads have given
reduced rates, it is probable that a num-
Der of military companies will be here,
that all the old soldiers who can will be
present, and that it will be one of the
most imposing events that has ever taken
place in the State.
And indeed it is a State eveEt. Zebulon
Baird Vance, that magnificent tribune of
the people, will on that day be repre-
scented to the people he loved so well. And
they will come miles and miles to see
him. There will be a gathering of the
clans to do honor to the memory of that
splendid chief and statesman whose
name will stand for all time as the
apotheosis of honest. rugged manhood,
and splendid craftsmanship. He was ever
"a tower of strength
That stood four square to all all the
winds that blew
= and he will ever be worshipped in North
Carolina as no man excepting not even
the immortal Washington or the peerless
\ Lee.
( Miss Espy Vance, the War Governors
/. granddaughter, will unveil the mcGument.
: She is now at Alexanders on the Broad,
but her home is in Louisburg.
