II Dedicate Monument Soon.-It ha
N not been definitely decided just wha
4 date the dedicatory services for tn
Campbell's island monument will b
II chosen, but it is hardly probable tina
o. it will take place July 10. A meetin
~ was held of the committee from tn
~ Campbell's Island Monument associ;
ton and Daughter of the America
=. Revolution, with w. A. Meese, an
> preliminary plans were mapped on
The date proposition seems to be tn
only stumbling block. Sometime az
it was practically decided to dedicat
-, the monument on the 18th, but as tina
st date comes on Sunday, it was though
best to change it. The meeting favo
,t ed either the 18th or goth, but did nc
4. settle definitely which one. The GER
monies will be as impressive as po
m sible and they will be the first of tn
C kind to be celebrated in this distric
Either Governor Deneen or Lieutenar
ID Governor Sherman will speak on thu
day. There will be appropriate sin!
is ing and a band will furnish music
NJ A member of the Daughters of tn
American Revolution will be maste
