the original liberal offer ofComradeRouss.
and will enable the Board to go forward at
once in erecting the q Memorial Hall, or

But the Board decided that, in view of
the increased cost Of building, and in its
desire to make the Hall worthy memo
rial, while reserving 800, 600 as per-
manent endowment, at least 500, 600
should be added to this fund. and instruct

this if our Confederate Camps. the Chap

We earnestly appeal, then, for help in

be sent to the Secretary.
q. Let arrangements be made for the
Secretary to deliver lectures for the bene-
fit of this fund, dividing proceeds with
some local object when desired.
We cordially congratulate our friends
generally that. after years of disappoint-
ment. we are at last within reach of the
beautiful memorial which was founded
by our lamented comrade, Charles B.

to help US make it worthy of our Confed-
crate cause. our leaders, our seif-sacrifc-

We have erected monuments to lndivid'
