An Appeal

Friends. AS most of yeu
know an effort Is being made to
raise money to build a Pavilion
at the Andersonvil1e National
Cemetery, in which to hold Mem
orial exercises, and for shelter
and refuge in case of rain. All
who went to Andersonvllle the
last two years know how much
such a building is needed. We
have raised several hundred
dollars but we need as much
more as the Government re.
quires substantial, permanent
building in harmony with Its
surroundings. The people OF
Fitzgerald will receive the most
benefit from this building, and
so far no call has been made
upon them for financial aid. But
we now ask those in charge. OF
the Sunday Memorial exercises
at the Opera House to take up
| collection for this purpose. We
ask of all who attend those ex'
ercises to come prepared tc
| make a liberal donation as our
friends in the North are doing
nob1y, and we are much more
deeply interested than they are,
