AT THE meeting In Stanton last
week of the Grsnd Division, q. d. G.,
one OF the ladies suggested that more
IN oney be given to the education of the
children OF Confederates and less
spent on monuments. The suggestion
is a commendable one and should be
adopted by sll Confederate orgapiza-
tions. Monuments are excellent things
10 their way, and rich people can afford
and should erect them. but most ex'
Confsderates and their descendants are
poor, aud If the erection OF monuments
is to be at the expense of the comfort
and education of thess children, then
should further monument building
cease, for time at least, and the
money they would cost be devoted as
suggested above. Indeed the yslor and
