they always found a loving well

Christ some years ago and lived a

The Confederate Monument

At a recent meeting of the
United Daughters Of the Con-
federacy it was decided to finish
erecting the monument in the
Court Yard to the Confederate
soldiers of Highland as soon as
possible.
A marble statue of Confederate
soldier in the attitude of "atten-
ton" has been contracted for and
is ready for delivery as soon as
sufficient funds have been raised to
pay for it. Those who have the
matter in charge are making every
effort to erect a memorial that will
be credit to the county in the
coming generations but they can
not do it all without the co-opera-
ton of the people. No one can
deny that Highland County's court
house and its setting is the most
picturesque imaginable, ssand with
such back ground it would be
shameful if, for lack of funds, these
loyal daughters were not enabled
to erect the kind of monument
they desire. Those loyal men who
went out to defend their homes
have sons, and grandsons, daugh-
tiers and grandaughters who should
contribute of their means to do
honor to those whose ranks are so
rapidly diminishing. Will you not
