A Soldiers, Monument.

At the meeting OF L. S. Grant Post, g.
A. r., Saturday evening, the erection OF
soldiers monument was the subject OF
such earnest consideration that II. c.
Gilbert, +. n. Rising and Norman
Nichols were appointed a committee 10
see what could be done about the matter.
A year ago the town was willing TO
appropriate 1920 for bronze tablet,
suitably inscribed, TO be placed in the
kimball Public library, but the Post was
not favorably impressed with the PROPOSE
ton, preferring something more likely
10 attract the attention OF the casual
passerby.
An ornament to the village and a
worthy memorial TO the valor OF Ram
dolph's veterans, it is thought would be
a handsome monument surmounted BY
the life-size statue OF the late Col. J. 3.
Mead OF the fighting Sth Regiment in
which he held every commission from
second Lieutenant to colonel, and proved
himself one OF the most gallant soldiers
sent by Vermont to the war.
Randolph furnished go Of her own men
for the active service, % OF whom never
returned. The town has had" SAYS a
writer in the Souvenir, "the array and
parade, the fusiade OF musketry, the
march by columns, the long roll OF the
drum, the shrill note OF the fife, the
sharp Woro of command and all the
equipment OF war, save tents and baggage
train" Yet no monument or memorial
tablet has ever been raised TO honor those
who offered their lives to their country
and shed the glory Of heroic service on
the place Of their enrolment.
Let Randolph show pride in her mill
tary record aud her soldiers by rearing
a monument worthy OF their deeds.
