relief by helping themselves? Could
not Ocala build to Dunnellon and
connect with the Port Inglis Co.?
The Buttgenbach Co. did so. The
railroads have that company's out
going freight. Could not the people
of Ocala utilize the Ock vaha river?
or build a railroad to the St. Johns
river? Will the railroads consider
these conditions, even if the railroad
commission will not make them treat
us right? We presume, though, that
the railroad commission has private
business or pleasures they have to at
tend to, as frequently we zee that
some of them are out of the state. OF
course their salary goes on just the
same.

To the members of sister chapters
[. D. c., and all others interested
this circular letter is respectfully
submitted:
1t has been determined by Dicki-
son chapter L. D. c., to erect a
monument in honor of our Confeder-
ate dead, and by this manifestation
show our appreciation of those
loved long since
But lost awhile"
The monument will stand in the
public square of Ocala, the capital
site of Marion county, as a memorial
to teach the children of the south for
ages to come to revere the memory
of the Confederate soldier.
As Dickson chapter has responded
generously to many calls for con-
tributions, we now solicit aid, and |
should the reaplng be as bOuntiful as |
the sowing to those who assist us,
we can heartily say
we shall be satisfied"
The monument will be a continual |
reminder of the valor, the patriotism,
and the sacrifices of our brave men,
lest in the turmoil of this busy life we |
forget,
Lest we forget"
The following prominent citizens
have been appointed to act with the
committee from the Daughters of the
Confederacy as a memorial commits
sion, to solicit and receive subscrip-
tions to the fund for the monument
viz: Mr.. Frank Harris, Major G. M. !
