VIII Rush Work.
I'VE purpose now to vigorously
push our building enterprise, and
hope for rapid progress In 1t.
The 0elay, however. has not
been an unmiXcd evil, as the cost
of building material and of labor
has been very high during the
erection OF buildings for tho
n,t
hoped that In the near future
these will be greatly reduced,
I'VE would say to our many
friends who have promised we
will help you as soon as you are
ready to build that the time has
come when they may send forward
their contributions. and we earn
estly appeal to them to do so.
I'VE will need additional contri-
buttons, not only that We may
erect building worthy OF the
cause it represents, but that we
may meet other demands in fur

the veterans were informed that they

like women was, if not daad fast,
fast asleep. and that all efforts
must first be made to arouse this
sentiment The only available
means to this end. In the judg-
ment OF those in charge, was tho
publication of supplements to va
rious leading newspapers through
out the South. The supplement- for
each State being made effective

traying the magnificent history of

reward for the effort expended.
