Over fifteen years ago the ladies of Oconee organized the Coonee Confederate Monument Association, with the purposo of erecting a handsome memorial to the Confederate dead of this county. Like most all such organizations that depend solely upon the free-will offerings of the people, unless the scope of their territory is wide and the purpose they seek to ad vance a thing of the immediate present, they have found tbeir work a tedious un dertaking, and have battled continually against lagging interest and discourage ments of evory kiud. Money has beon slow coming in-not tbat tho cause is un worthy, not that the people feol one whit less of prido iu tho past or honor for i hose who fought for tins country, where we now live in peace and comfort and prosperity, not from a lack of patriotism -from no cause at all savo the fact that I peace and comfort and prosperity too often-as it has dono iu this caso-brood a spirit of lethargy and forgetfulness. lu spite of tho fact that this causo of a monument to < lenore's dead, of the Con | federacy has lagged aud boen forgotten by many, it has never boou dropped, nor have the shadows of time obscured it from tho minds of tho band of noble wo men who started tho work, or thejo who, coming aftor, have takeu bold where tho baud of death has gently led away some ono from their racks. They havo toiled earnestly, with their purposo over boforo them, and their efforts should soon ripen into tho full fruition of their plaus. The over-glowing spark has again been fanned into a blaze, aud tho Monument Association is ouco moro acti vely at work. We urge everyone who can aid in this cans . to do so. Au occasional donation from everyoue, bo it only small, will soon amount to a great deal if sent to the trea surer of the Association, and it will has ten the day when a fitting memorial shall stand on the Court House square to show to tho world that we have not forgotten t hose who faced the fiend of battle that wo might live iu happiness and at peace with all the world. Let every citizen lend a hand and assist these noble women in raising tho funds for this grand purpose. No contribution so small that it will not iuoroaso the funds and help to shorten time until wo shall seo standing in our midst a titting memorial to denarted worth. HERE, THERE AND YONDER.
