Bruce Porter Sends $5 for The Milroy Monument Fund.

R. B. Porter, former recorder of Jasper county and for many years a resident of this city and county, and now residing on a South Dakota farm, not far from Mt. Vernon, has sent to the writer $5 to be applied to the Milroy Soldiers’ Monument fund. Mr. Porter writes as follows: “I am sending $5 to the monument fund, $1 each for Mary, Josie, Bruce, Jr., my .wife and myself. I hope /or the greatest success for the fund and only wish that we were able* to make our contribution $25. The family are all well and well satisfied. Seeding will be finished this coming week. Wheat is up nicely and the weather has been pimply fine since the first of March. Success to the republican nominees in old Jasper county and also in old Indiana. Give our best wishes to all our old friends and enemies.” The Porter family made a great sacrifice for the country in'the early sixties and Mr. Porter lost three brothers, if we are not mistaken, either by being killed or dying of sickness while in the army. Their names will be' placed on the monument,, a permanent tribute to their martyrdom. The many friends of the Porter family will be pleased to hear from them and the Republican hopes for other letters from Mr. Porter.
