wet ground to rest, knowing that tomor- row would bring . renewal of the strug. gle. s. H. Sprott. An Appeal to the People of Alabama
 In Stonewall Cemetery, at Winchester, Va, there are lots for each Southern State. Here a number of their dead sol- diers lie buried. The number ranges from about fifty to three or four hundred in each State lot. Alabama has seventy one. About the center of each lot grave is suitably marked with marble head and foot-stones, except Alabama. This State has no monument and no marble head-stones. except to three graves. Imagine our notification recent ly, when my wife and I were walking through this cemetery, feeling like taking off our shoes because we were walking where the dust of as noble, loyal dead lay as ever drew sword when we dis covered that Alabamas dead had no monument and no marble head-sones but decaying wooden head-boards only. We could not express our feelings at this sight. but we said our old State did not know this work and honor were not done. At once I offered my services to the Daughters of the Confederacy of Win chester, Va, who have this work in charge, that might help raise the money needed.
 As I am well acquainted in Alabama, being a native of that State, and having spent my life there. except the last five years, thought 1t might render some help. The monument and head-stones will cost $700
