Money sent to the committee has not been acknowledged in any other way, however, owing to the expense involved and the time required. The assistance was greatly appreciated and the libr eral response of former Jasper county people has made the erection of the monument possible. The monument will stand fpr years a credit to all who contributed to it as well as an ap-

propriate memorial to the brave sons of Jasper county who gave so for the preservation of the union That it will contain the names of all the soldiers who went out from Jasper county is a matter of pride with all. It was Mrs.- Thompson’s suggestion and looked like a tremendous proposition but it is to be accomplished and the cheerful aid of relatives of the soldiers has been a constant encouragement to those who were helping in the movement
