k Plea for toe Monument.
Williamsburg chapter, Daughter^
of the Confederacy, is intending
to put forward every
effort this year to raise money
to aid in the erection of the
monument to the Confederate
soldiers of this county.
Some time ago the president
of the chapter sent out letters
to prominent ladies in all sections
of the county, asking- them
to join in and use their influence
in raising the necessary funds
for this worthy object.
It should interest the whole
county, and each community
should take pride in assisting. ^
This duty should have been performed
long ago. Williamsburg
is one of the few counties tnat
have not expressed their appreciation
of the heroism of her
sons by commemorating it in a
suitable monument.
Cedar Swamp responded liberally
to the appeal, contributing
S60.00. raised bv one fes
0
tival.
It is to be hoped that the ladies
will take up this work in
their respective communities
and send in their contributions
as soon as possible, that the
order may be placed for the
monument in the near future.
The chapter will bestow crosses
of honor upon eighteen veterans
during the exercises at the opera
house on Memorial day.
