Large bodies of troops in field

Berlin, Germany, July 28. —
The outlook for localizing the
conflict between Austria and
Servia appears more hopeful,
according to a statement by the
Foreign Office to the United
Press today. Assurances
have been received from St.
Petersburg that general mobil

| This relieved much feeling
that a general clash was ine
vitable- Diplomatists here do
not believe however, that any
one can prevent Austria from
enforcing the demands of her ul
timatum, and fearing that the
warlike crown prince might
commit some indiscretion in
Berlin, the Kaiser has advised 1
him to stay at Zoppott, the sea

HELP TO
BUILD MONUMENT
Fund May Be Completed
Through Sale of History of
Co. G, U C- V.
—
To the citizens of Newport and
Jackson county:
We are going to build a monu
ment to the Confederate dead j
of Jackson county. This county j
furnished over 20 companies. I
Jacksonport furnished 3 com
panies, also 1 company of artil
lery and all these young men
put their shoulders to the wheel
and did their duty, never falter
ing nor wavering in the Confed- f
erate army and their bravery
and hardihood are mentioned in
the history of their country.
These same Confederate sol
diers established the govern
ment you now enjoy and built
the Constitution you now live
jmder, a Constitution that has
given you protection to life and
property and the enforcement of
law and at less taxation than
any other.
So you owe something to their
history- They blazed the way
and were first in bringing civili
zation and good government. No
people ever did more than they.
So now in this small monument
you honor your fathers and mo
thers and brothers- ,
The Daughters of the Confed
eracy have had published a book
or history of the first company,
Company G, 1st Arkansas In
fantry, of one hundred and fifty
men, as fine young men as ever
lived or fought under the Con
federate flag.
It’s a history of this company, j
what they did; what they saw;
what they thought or told, by a I
private and a history of privates,
giving their marches, their camp
life, their battles; so you ought
to know this history, for it’s his
tory of Jackson county in which
we all ought to be interested and
which I knowr you will be.
As we need three or four hun- j
dred more dollars to finish the !
monument, we ask one and all to ^
buy from the Daughters a book, j
It only costs $1.00, and the prof
it goes into the monument.
Newport and all the towns
visited have subscribed so nice
ly, I am still proud of Jackson
county; so don’t neglect to take
an interest in this book and help
'the last noble tribute to the old j
Confederate soldiers, many of
whose bodies are lying on many )
battle fields with unknown Con-.
! federates. In building this mon
| ument, it says to those unknown
grave stones, “Here is a monu
ment to those bravest of the
|brave, and Jackson county will
■never forget their deeds and
memory.”
