If was decided by the Erwin Mem or;a1 committee at it's meeting last evening that a memorial tablet To- cated within a pergola to be con- structed on the summit of Walnut Hill park is to be the monument Lo tho famous benefactor of the Hard = ware city. .,, ,
 w. F. Brooks was present at the meeting with a preliminary skelcll oI the pergola and tablet. me pelSo'A will he twenty by sixty feet The mem oria1 tablet will be constructed at the end of the pergola and will be of Tennessee marble set in with a bronze memorial tablet. The memorial will be about ten feet in height. The pergola. according to MT. Brook s suggestions will be at the northend of the summit. He advises building the pillars and floor filings of econ- onv stone and the roof of timber with tile covering. The roof would be of the overhanging kind so as to pro- tect the memorial tablet.
 Entire Cost About $12,OOO.
 A pergola, such as suggested, would cost about $7,000, stated MT. Books. The memorial would cost about $2,OO0. Tn addition to this the architect has devised a plan for having a basement equipped with toi- lets in the pergola and this would bring the total cost of the memorial up to $12,O00. To secure this apprc- priation would necessitate the levying of a one-third mill tax. Further description of the pergola by Mr. Brooks showed that benches may be set within. A marble slab seat will be constructed in front of the mem orial tablet.
 Resolutions Adopted.

There's never an always cloudiess slty
There's never a vaIe so fair.
But over & sometimes shadows lie
In q chill and songless air.
But never Q cloud So'erhund the day,
And flung its shadows down,
But on Its heaven side cleaned some

Forming a sunshine crown.
It is dark on only the downward side;
Through rage the tempest loud,
And scatter its terrors far and wide.
There's light. upon the cloud.
And often when 1t trailleth low,
Shutting the landscape out,
And onlysthe chilly east winds blow
From the foggy seas Of doubt.
There1ll come a time, near the setting
When the Joys Of life seem few;
A rift will break in the evening dun
And the golden light stream
through.
And the soul a glorious bridge will
make
Out ofIthe golden bars,
And all its priceless treasures take
Where shrine the eternal stars.
