out. Tlie doors of the post, that have been loved so dearly will soon bo closed forever. The last taps will have been sounded. Mon and pc, t will soon bo but a memory. Should not Sam Henry Post have a shaft erected in our own court yard? A memorial that would honor the post in the years to come, honor the nation’s defenders, and honor the community in tlie honoring? We so honor our individual dead, by erecting shafts as costly as our purses allow. Is it unreasonable to say, that as a community we should honor our heroes in the aggregate? Adams county’s quota in the <-lvil war was large and the part her soldiers acted was considerable. It seems to me that an effort upon the part of the C. A. It to provide such a monument would be a labor of love indeed for them, and that their friends and fellow citizens of this county would willingly and gladly assist them.” Signed. ‘ SON OF A VETERAN." Very soon after it appeared continued .alls camo to the office asking who had written the article and ex-j pressing themselves in sympathy with I its thought. Mr. Quinn was referred to as the writer, and soon enthusias 1 tic conferences were held. It was agreed that we should have a soldiers' monument. And then camethe question of how to raise tlie money. G. A. R. TAKES UP M/aTTER. A meeting of the G. A. R. and al' old soldiers was called amt tlie ma* ter laid before them. They beranr greatly enthused and promised their aid. The result was that a systemat--form of procedure was adopted an.' Thomas Mallonee. post commander appointed a cominilee to meet wit' the others to devise ways and mean of securing the monument. This com niittee was comprised of the follow ing: S. B. Fordyce. I). K. Shackle’ - Joshua R. Parrish. Fred F. Freeh an - ’ L. N. Grandstaff. A COUNTY MONUMENT. There was much talk of raising th< money by subscription. And then Quinn had another happy Idea an -1 called in P. 1 . Andrews in conference Didn’t the state build the tnonumen at Indianapolis?" Mr. Quinn asked , They did." “Well. then, there i* surely some law to authorize thecoun ties to vote money for the buiidlnr of monuments." Together they wento the law office of the late A. T Beatty and there found a law where by the county could appropriate th* money for a monument, and all th taxpayers join in the building of th' memorial. DECIDE TO PETITION. The matter was laid before th i ways and means" committee. Fridr • veiling. July 26. They uvanlmou-' ■ decided that at Hie September seaaie ! ÜblJl of the Adams county commi | stoners, they would present a petltin I -Igned by a majority of the voters o J >he county, asking that an approprl I Hou of JlO.Ot’O bo made for the ere•'on of a monument for tlie soldier of Adams county. The next morning. Saturday. Jul - - 27, the r'ports and petitions drawn I* - regular order by their attorney. A. I i Beatty, were presented to a ma i meeting of the soldiers at the 0.

each viod with th® other In being the first to subscribe his nnmq to the pe tition. COMMISSIONERS' GRANT. The next, step wus the presenting of the petition to the county <<mimlssioriers- James I). Hendricks, Henry Zwhk and Chris Eicher and tlie notation for the day of Septombi 4. HI 12, is this: “One of the last things the county council did Tuesday evening as a happy closing to their work for this year - session was the unanimous vote for the appropriation of SIO,OOO for the erection of a soldiers's monument la Adams county. A committee of tlie G. A. R. with others interci-ied tlier, in, was present to make any explanations that might be required, and tie county coniniissloners present al o, heartily recommended tlie council to make the appropriation, which wa done without a dissenting vote. Th funds for this will not bo available until next year, but the county is a. sured a splendid memorial due h< r patriot defenders." “HOW, WHAT AND WHERE?" When Hie matter of the wherewithj al was disposed of, there remained i the question "how and v ! at to build and where." This matter was left to the G. A. R. or the monumental committee. During the first of October.! ’912, Messrs. French Quinn and I- M. '"h’rmeyer happed to be in Chicago; m business. While there, they decid-; - "d to visit an art institute where the, highest and best is produced. They ' ”en to the Chicago Art Institute, and' ••ero Introduced to William French, n ’ director. While there they mentioned ‘he fact that SIO,OOO had been appro . 'Hated for a monument her**, and that ’ uggestions would he willingly recei"d as to the design. Mr. French wa very much pleased and slated tlm< •heir institute was erected forth, purpose of encouraging art in its tru 'st sense, and it would deem it a duty •s well as a pleasure to assist in the ducation of the people in general n the artistic, and would wo all they ould to help in the matter of tie- . oldiers’ monument for this county. SOMETHING TRULY AMERICAN. It was conceded that something at > •istic and beautiful, something truly ! Vmerican, in its conception, and em-I odying distinct American truth.- ami: rinciples should be characterized ii lie design, instead of copying from ome old shaft or some old Grecian 1 >r foreign piece. This, Charlo Mui!gan. lecturer on sculpture In the ar, nstitute, was most able to do, ami <e was introduced. He stated the! ■e would lie pleased to come here and : ••evlew the situation end tuen desic.i. monument, appropriate tor t ie pur >ose. make s plaster model of his de 'gn, and submit it to the '.oldiers and » •ommlttei', subject, of course, to their i nprovnl; and then to come down and onfer again with the conn. Ittec relit•ve to tlie same, the gro. lids, site nd all preliminaries, free ot charge MUI.I 'G‘N MAKSd MOCE' The committee expressed it -•IT in '•lvor of this.
