P0CAHONTAS' MEMORY
ASSOCIATION TO ERECT MoNU-
MENT AT JAMESTOWN.

An association has been formed in this
city to collect money with which to erect
a monument to Pocahontas at the tercen-
tennial at jamestown. Va, in 1907. The Of
fcers OF the organization are: President.
Miss Lizzie McLain; secretary. Miss Mary
Desha; treasurer, Charles c. Glover; legal
counsel. c. c. Calhoun.
1t is thought to be eminently fitting that
some memorial should be erected at this
time to Pocahontas, the Indian princess to
whom the settlement owed its preservation
from famine and from the attacks Of the
savage foe. Capt. John Smith said Of her:
"Pocahontas, the first Christian among
the aborigines, the first Virginian to speak
English. was called the 'Nonpareil of Vir-
ginia.' Now, every once in four or hve
days, Pocahontas, with her attendants,
brought so much provision that saved many
lives, that else for all this had starved
with hunger. When her father sought to
surprise me. the dark night could not al
fright her from coming through the irk-
some woods and giving me intelligence to
escape his fury. She, next under Goa, ZOE
two or three years was still the instrument
to preserve this colony from death, famine
and utter confusion, which II In those
times had once been dissolved Virginia
might have lain as it was at our hrst ar
rival to this day.
1t is said to be astonishing that three
hundred years have passed and there has
been, until this time, no movement to erect
memorial to this remarkable woman.
Committees of one hundred each will be
formed. Two have already been organised.
The first hundred will be composed OF the
descendants Of Pocahontas, among whom
there are some Of the most distinguished
people in the country. The second hundred
will be composed of the descendants OF the
carly settlers of Virginia, who are scattered
all over the United States. but particularly
in the west and south.
To these committees will be fntrusted the
work Of collecting the money to erect this
long deferred tribute to the fidelity and de-
votion of the Indian maiden who in the
olden days saved the settlers of Virginia.
The work Of contributing, 1t Il claimed,
should not be confined to these descendants.
but 1t Is hoped that all Americans will be
Interested, as jamestown was really the
cradle of the race in this country.
