WHY NOT A MONUMENT TO
BARBARA FRITCHIE?
The people of Frederick, Maryland,
have given those Southernors who
like to complain a lot to talk about.
They have erected a monument to
the memory of Barbara Fritchic, the
heroine in Whittier’s poem in which
he described a dutch girl defiantly
waiving a Union Flag before Con
federate soldiers, marching through
Frederick.
The late Captain Slade, represen-
re in the Georgia General Assembly
from 1907-1911 from Muscogee coun-
told the writer that he was in com
ind of a company of Confederates,
marching through Frederick, when a
girl performed just such a stunt as
Whittier ascribed to Barbara Fritchie.
Captain Slade said the attitude of
the girl and the soldiers was so good
natured that even if the poet heard
of it he would not have pretended
that his poem described the event.
However, there was a young woman
in Frederick at the time by the name
of Barbara Fritchie who posessed
just the disposition to qualify as
Whittier’s heroine. What more natu
ral than that the poet’s fancy should
have been too litterally construed?
And what difference does it make?

PRICE CUTTING WAR AMONG

amalgmation with the larger concerns.
