Vance Monument Unveiling-
It is proposed to make the un
veiling of the Vance monument in
Raleigh next May probably the
20th a memorable occasion.
The Confederate Veterans'
A
sociation this year meets at Louis
ville, Ky., too far away for many
veteran's to attend. So it is the
intention of the old soldiers of the
State to make the unveiling of the
Vance monument a sort of reunion.
And in this, it is understood that
hey will be largely joined by the
veterans of South Carolina.
The railroads have already indi
cated their purpose to give a low
rate for the occasion; and it is ex
pected that this, together with the
love the people of North Carolina
bear to him whose monument is
to be unveiled, will bring a great
crowd of people to Raleigh.
