eighteen years of age, played Richard

Edwin Booth was soon engaged by
the manager of a Baltimore stock COM

be used in the erection of a memorial
to the Confederate women of Missis
sippi will meet in the ladies' parlo1
at the state house Friday morning
at ten o'clock to select the design
and inscription to be placed on the

Several prominent sculptors are ex
pected here to attend the meeting
and submit their sketches. Hon. Chas
Scott of Rosedale, chairman of the
committee, will reach the city tonight
Hon. H. Clay Sharkey, of this city
is treasurer of the body.
Although the total amount needed
for the memorial has not yet beer
raised, the committee believes that
sufficient Roadway has been made tc
Justify the award of a contract, and
in the meantime the work of securing
funds will be continued. The amount
on hand will at least be -ufficient to
build the pedestal.
As the date for the meeting of the
committee is also the birthday Of Gen
Robert 3. Lee, the members plan tc
also make it in the nature Of a Con
federate memorial service, and mem
bers Of the various Confederate or
CARNATIONS in Jackson, and members
