to the people to learn that the granite
to be used will be from the famous
Winnsboro quarry in this state, the
finest in the world
The committee have ordered the
monument although the funds now in
hand are not sufficient to pay for it,
They do this with the assurance that
the people of the county will at once
come to their aid and contribute the
necessary amounts. About $400 is
tho amount yet to be raised and all
those who have pledged any amounts
are earnestly requested to redeem
their pledge at once; others are urged
10 contribute. The ladies are very
desirous of having the full amount
in hand when the monument is com

In order to do this the people must
aid them.
The Advertiser will gladly receive
any contributions; if desired, they may
be sent direct to Mrs. r B. Bell.
full description Of the monument
will be printed in The Advertiser at

Of it. However. 1t may be said that
the entire monument will be about
thirty feet in height. is surmounted
with the figure of a Confederate sold
ier, and is to be inscribed with mem
orials that will be decided upon later.
