MEMORIAL HOME FOR WIDOWS
IN PLACE OF A SHAFT.
Such Proposition Is Made by Atlanta
Citizen.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 19.-The memo
rial to be erected by the Georgia
Woman's Memorial Association will
in all probability take the form of a
home for widows of those who fought
for the Confederate states. This was
decided upon Wednesday following
a generous offer of well known At
lantian who desires to have his name
withheld for the present. He has of
fered % give to the cause 100000 if
the memorial is a home for needy
Confederate widows and is built in
Atlanta. Another we'll known and
rich Albanian has also offered a site
for such a building if it is built for
the needy widows. Col. Henry D.
Capers has issued a statement in re-
gard to the money being raised for
the memorial and it will be thorough
ly discussed at the meeting at Stone
Mountain.
