DAUGHTERSS OF CONFEDERACY EXPRESS APPRECIATION The Daughters of the Coonfedera cy wish to mane pumic expression of their appreciation of the kindness shown them by the city authorities in permittinng them to use Pool St for the erection of . their monument to the confederate dead. It was with great regret that we had to remove a shade tree on the street; but we believe that the street will be more beautiful with the monument than with the tree, and that those who thought otherwise will be pleas ed with the change. The board of Aldermen gave us permission to re move the tree If necessary and to them we express our thanks. In ex- suming responsibility under that authority we have tried to use it Tor the beautification of the city and the patriotic sentiment. Our' mon ument Is now on the way and will be placed in position within a few days. We hope that the ceremonies of the unveiling on the 10th of May will be largely attended and will be an occasion long to be remembered In the town. D. H. HILL, Chapter . Daughters of the Confederacy.
