editor Confederate Column:

Dear Sir,-I hope the Enclosed will
find space in your paper. The names
may reach some who might wish to
remember their dead in this far away
graveyard. The little band OF devoted
Daughters of the Confederacy in Gin
cinnati should not appeal in vain. The
Richmond Chapter always sends some
contribution each year.
Very truly,
MRS. N. V. RANDOLPH.
April 81.
To the United Daughters OF tho Con-
federacy:
| Greetings from the Johnson's Island
Graveyard Commission. owners OF the
Johnsons Island, Ohio, Confederate
Stockade Cemetery. costing some $1,000,
where lie over 1900 soldiers of the
South.
We unveiled In the old graveyard in
June. 1910. splendid Moses Ezekiel
bronze statue, twenty-one feet high.
II is our custom to decorate the graves
on that Northern isle every year, and
we are sure that YOU VIII feel 1t a
sacred privileg to contribute small
sum for flowers for that occasion.
No gray moss depends from those
treetops; no magnolia blossoms shed
there sweet perfume; no hooking
birds sing there roundelay. and only
the storm winds of winter and the
zephyrs of summer tell to the sun and
the stars the story Of that heroic long
ago.
But the women OF the South-de-
scendants OF those Cavaliers who
fought for Dixie-will never forget the
resting places OF their dead, and re-
joice to know they are cared for and
their ashes secured forever from desc
cation.
No matter how small the contribution,
it will be gratefully received and eX-
pended by our flower committee for the
sacred day.
