Some Recent Contributors to The Soldiers’ Monument Fund.

Louis F. Hopkins, of Chicago, sent Mrs. M. E. Thompson a check for $5 a few days ago to apply to the Milroy Soldiers’ Monument funql, and while Chase Kelley was here from Wisconsin he contributed $5 for the same purpose, so it wiy be seen that the old Rensselaer boys contribute both liberally and cheerfully to the beautifying of their old town and to a movement to perpetuate the names and glory of the gallant soldiers that went out from old Jasper county. Thomas S. Peacock, a former Rensselaer citizen, now living in Paxton, 111., also sent $5 to Mrs. Thompson, with the following good letter: “Enclosed you will please find draft "ft>r five dollars to help you in your noble work. I am glad that you started the work of erecting a monument to so good and brave a soldier as Milroy. I hope to be able to be at the unveiling of the same.” Peter Hordeman and wife, Herman Hordeman, Harry Kelley and John English- are recent contributors in the sum of sl i each. Lots of money is needed and friends of the movement, both resident and non-resident, are urged to make their pledges as soon as possible.
