and as an admirer OF General n. II, For
rest the survivors of the men who fol
lowed that grand leader have almost come
to consider Mrs. Latham one of them. A
matter very near the hearts of those men
was the laying Of the corner stone of tho
Forrest monument during the reunion. TWO
months since Mrs, ATTAIN was In Call
forula and the local committee, being I'M
willing to lay the corner stone until all
necessary funds for the monument were IN
hands, IT seemed that this ceremony would
not be q feature of the reunion. ON the
return of Mrs, Latham two weeks after the
decision Of the committee To postpone the
matter, she called meeting of the Sarnh
Law chapter, L. N. c., and they met nenr-
~ 200 strong Mrs, Latham told these
women of the old veterans all over the
South who were coming to Memphis and
whose chief anticipation was to be present
at the laying of the corner stone OF the
Forrest monument; how she had met them
personally from time to time; how mum
bcrs Of letters were being received hots
by herself aud the secretary in reference
to the matter. ''What shall we dor said
