ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

In this issue will be found state
ment from the Committee in charge
of .the Soldiers Monumen. to be
erected at this place. The report
was written by the Chairman of the
Committee, and as the result of a
meeting held Tuesday night of this
week, at which majority of the
Committee were present. We have
taken some pains to investigate the
matter, and we find that the money
on hand is ali loaned out on interest
and with good personal security.
We could give the names of the
sureties, but do not deem it neces.
sary. Suffice it to say, that they
are good for much more than the
amount. Tie Treasurer of the AS
ISOLATION is also under bond, with
security as good as the county
affords.
In addition to the amount col.
lected, the Committee has about
500 subscribed that is good and
can be gotten any time the money
is needed. There were number of
other small subscriptions that have
never been paid and more trouble
to collect than they were worth, un-
less the parties would pay up volun-
tarily, as they should do, but a
number of persons subscribed small
amounts with flourish in order to
get their names in the paper and
without any intention of paying up.
We would like to get hold of these
names and publish them.
