Soldiers.
jacksonville, May 26.-(Speciai.)-
The General John H. Forney Chapter
U. D. c., of Jacksonville having sue
ceeded in placing a monument over the
grave of the famous Confederate ar
tillerist John Pelham, has now turned
attention to the erection of monu-
ment to the Confederate soldiers or
Calhoun county.
AS far as possible the name of every
Confederate soldier from the county
who lost his life in the service Will
be placed on this monument as well as
the names OF others who nave dled
since the close of the great war. To
the U. D. Cs of Jacksonville must be
attributed the honor of placing a
monument over Pelham; though in
dividuals and U. D. c.. chapters
throughout the state contributed to-
ward its accomplishment. Miss E. NJ.
Haley and Mrs. John NJ WHY were
pioneers in the movement and among
the notable contributions were Mr.. and
Mrs. John L. Dodspn, Of Oxford.
The work reflects great credit on
the patriotic women who accomplish
ed It, The life-size figure of Pelham,
which caps the monument. was carV-
ed in Italy by an accomplished sculp-
tor having before him a good photo
graph of Pelham taken while in Con-
federate uniform. At perhaps two 9TH
er points in the state there are shafts
erected to the memory of Pelham, but
at Jacksonville alone. where his body
rests, is there a monument so finished
and so fit. and to the ladies' of John
H. Forney chapter belong the credit
OF the work. These same ladies now
propose to erect a monument to the
Confederate soldiers of Calhoun and
that they will succeed in the patrio-
tic work goes without saying.
The general design is a shaft built
of blocks of marble, each block to
contain the name of a Confederate SOL
dier who died for his country or who
has passed over the river since the
war. Some money has already been
raised for the work. The people OK
Jacksonville will. as a matter of course.
