The object for which the children
are working so earnestly Is one which
the whole society has at heart. the
erection of a memorial building in
Athens as an annex to the State Nor
NAL School, so that young women who
desire to take the Normal School
course and are unable to bear the ex-
pense may have a comfortable home
and so avail themselves Of the gener-
Gus offer of the state to give the tut
ton free.
The Daughters of the Confed-
eracy have pledged themselves
not to lay the. cornerstone until they
have 5000 actually in hand towards
the fund. and Il is their hope that Z
VIII not be long before their work and
the work of the children viii be
crowned with success.
