A petition has been presented to
the County Commissioners by the Long-
street Chapter Daughters of the Con
federacyasking for the nae of the park
in the center of the pnblie square.
They propose to erect in the center of
the park a handsome monument to the
Confederate dead, and to keep the park
beautifully all the time with flowers,
shrubbery, or something of the kind.
The monument will be a handsome
one erected of Georgia marble. The
base will be ten feet square, upon
which will be placed two pieces of
marble, one eight feet square and one
six feet square. The shaft will be
about-eight feet high and will be con
structed of marble slabe six by eight
inches upon ea^eh of which will be
engraved the name of each Confederate
soldier-officer in. the uity, and the
company or regiment to which he
belonged. The slabs will be sold for
$5 each, which will go to the general
fund of the Longstreet Chapter.
(Jpon the shaft will be the statute
of a Confederate soldier in his, jacket
of grey, eight feet high, making the
monument twenty-five feet high. The
monament will be beautifnl in every
respect, and will add greatly to the
attractiveness of the public square.
It will also refleet credit upon the
