A Cali To The Daughters Of

In as much as the Veterans
themselves have raised the
funds by popular subscription,
to erect in our city a monument
worthy the memory of their
brothers who fought so gallant
ly with them in the Lost Cause,
and also as a mute reminder of
thpir fflun nllptripnrp i tn nnr
i Southland, is it not our duty as
! loyal Daughters to rally togeth
er once more and evidence by
our actions as well as in spirit,
that we are with them and wish
to do our part toward perpetu
ating their glorious history to
(future generations.
The work of raising funds for
this monument should have been
ours, but we were slothful and
the years were passing all too
rapidly, leaving each head a lit
tle grayer, each step a little
slower. The Veterans took up
the work themselves and are
giving to us this beautiful mar
ble shaft, that we and others
may not forget. They have ask
ed that the Daughters arrange
the programme for the unveil
ing ceremony and in order to do
this, we must meet again. Let
'each member of our old Lucien
C. Gause Chapter come out and
as many others entitled to join
in with the United Daughters m
the Confederacy, as may earnest
ly and sincerely wish to do so.
Let us meet with renewed vigor
and determined to do the work
that is ours. A meeting is
called for Wednesday afternoon
at three o’clock, with Mrs. 0.
