evening, the Daughters Of the Confed-
eracy, Of which Mrs. J. a. Long is

ment of a very laudable undertaking
by the chapter.
Hon J. A. Long, one OF the States

noting the welfare of his town, county

handsome monument to the memory

appropriate place in Rosboro for the
erection of such q memorial It is in
the center of the town, fronts Main
street, and at present is used as a part
q the Fairgrounds OF the RoxbOro
Graded School. The monument will
be a handsome ornament to the school
past and as a monitor to the present
and all future generations.
The plat was formally presented in
a few words by superintendent Il. II.
Burns of the Roxboro Public Schools.
AMI was accepted by Mr. S. G. Win

everything will be done 10 accentuate ana

In all uniform orders in the past the full
dress uniform, which as matter Of fact
IS worn the least, was placed first. In the
new uniform order the service uniform
comes first. The uniform used most is at
the head of the list. Every point will be
covered in the new order specifically, and
nothing will be left to the imagination
For instance. the old order states that OIL
GERS in the field without coats will wear
insignia Of rank on the collar of the shirt
but lust exactly how far from the end of
the collar the insignia shall be worn is
not stated. nor is II stated in the case OF
q major whether the oak leaf shall be
worn with the stem TO the front or to the
rear. up or down. Nor does 1t say
whether a colonel will wear his eagle on
his collar with the bird looking to the
front or 10 the rear. All these things are
covered in the new order

can soldier while on pass. The new uniform
order intends TO remedy these conditions
as much as possible by directing post COM
manders to issue such orders as may be
necessary TO have every enlisted man in
