Views of The News as t<
Monument's Protection.
From the Kershaw Era.
We are gla<l to are the Lan
caster News taking up the mat
ter oi protecting the monnmen
at Dwight, erected to the mem
ory ol General Buford'e mei
wlio were so foully assassinate*
during the Ueydutionary wa
by Tarleton's -<o!diers. S^vera
times in passing we have notic
ed the defacement of tlie monu
ment and made mental note o
the facf with the view ot callinj
public attention thereto, and ii
each instance our good intention
were not earned out.
It has occurred to us that tlx
National government ought t ?!
erect a better monumen o'l ose ]
trave men ami enc'o e it in a
. | high iion fence a ?d ;>?>y * me
one to have the cus.uj,. of in
order that it may be protected
aga list the relic hunter. If the,
present monument is not better |
cared tor and protected against'
its desecraters it will only he a !
question ot time un'il it will I
only be a memory in the mind6 i
of t he people ot t lie community.
We repeat, we are glad The i,
News has taken up t:.e matter'
and we hope that good may he
done by what it has had to s\v
on the subject

the closing hour, and after the prci
prietors had left lie helned himself
to what he wanted and then
