IN HONOR OF ELIJAH CLARK.
ID. A. n. TO Erect Monument to Him
in Athens.

Athens, Ga, Feb. 22.-The Elijah
the American Revolution has taken up
as the work for the chapter for the
present year the raising of sufficient
funds with which to erect in this city
monument to the memory of Gen.
Elijah Clarke, the Revolutionary hero
for whom this county is named. In
connection with this movement is an
other, to move the remains of Gen.
Clarke from their present burial place
in Wilkes county to this county. This
movement has not taken definite
shape, but it is probable that it will be
effected during the present year.
The Daughters of the Revolution in
this city have already made a start on
the fund with which to erect this
monument. and have in the treasury
over one hundred dollars. This fund
will be augmented by personal contri-
buttons and by the proceeds from a
number of entertainments which are
being planned. The ladies in charge of
this movement have entered into it
with enthusiasm and expect to carry
it to Il successful contamination The
size of the statue which is to be erect
ed has not yet been determined upon,
but it will be one in every way wor-
thy of the memory of the great soldier
it is to honor, and will adorn one of
the public squares in this city. The
ladies hope to have the statue erected
and ready for unwilling in 1904 and if
they are successful they will invite the
state conference to meet here at that
time.
