Memorial Day will, soon be here and as in the paat.it will br fittingly celebrated in' Washing ton. The outlook for a great day is indeed promising. The Daily Xcws desires to make a suggestion ?o the Pausphter* of the Confeder acy and nR. ethers who Have the memorial day exercise* |n charge. At the entrance or Oakdale ecinetery stands the fiigt monu ment known to have Wen erected 'by tlie Children of the Confeder acy in the South. Tt stands there today as a memorial to the seven teen soldiers who gave thefrr life's .Woort itL 46*' defense of 'Washing* -ton 'in t]he\battle fought Septem W, 1862. This monument was erected by the Washington Gray Chapter, Children of tho .Confederacy, un der the auspices and direction of the lato Mrs.' Maggie Arthur Call, who for years gave, her very best for a cause sj>e loved so well. The monument was appropriately unveiled on 3jTay 10th, 1905, and since that good hour has been' a prido to all Beaufort county citi" zens, especially to the boys who] tfore tho gray. Tt is constructed of pressed brick and granite and ornamented with 52 caption balls which Mrs. Call obtained from tho United States government; seventeen of these balls form a pyramid* on the ton and represent the seventeen soldiers killed in battle. The organization that eroeted ! this monument was the very first organized in North Carolina and the second in the entire Sotuh. . Since its erection its up-keep has not been as it should be. The plat of ground around it lacks at tention and the monument itself would present a much more attrac tivo appearance if a little cleaning were done. The News feeli con fident that the good ladies will readily agree along this line and when they realize that a little work should be done on this well deserved memorial they as a unit will see that something Is accom plished prior to Memorial Day, As stated -In the beginning anoth er celebration to commemorate the deeds of the Confederate sol diet it practically at our dobr and it is to be hoped that this shaft will be more inviting to tho viri tor than now.
