especially Blossom Prairie. Last
year along about this time of the
year he bought a hundred acres
of laud on Blossom Prairie ard
after'holding it two weeks and
three days sold it at a profit of
$1,000.00. After selling it he
rented it and has made a fine-
crop on it, and has just closed a
deal with John Dodd for 108
acres right close to the land be
now lives on, paying $2,000.00
for the same. Nothing* proves
more conclusively the real worth
of land in any country, than to
see it in demand by people who
have lived in the country all
their lives and know what the
land is worth.

eracy have succeeded in prooar
ing, by private subscription; the
•am of $171 apd have boon given
from the Veterana fund $150
making $821 we have toward
building a monument to our
Confederate Soldiers.
This undertaking bos been on
band for a number of years and
why it meets with so little in
“)reet we can not understand
for surely the memory of the
Boys in Gray who fought so
bravely for the lost cause is
very dear to at least three
fourths of tlie men, women and
children of Red River County.
We now ask you to assist us
in raising $179 more, for when
we have procured this amount
we will have $500 and will at
place our order for a momument.
We have so hoped to erect a
more fitting tribute to our
Southern Soldiers but as this
seems impossible we ard^leterm-
ed not to let the matter die
down again as in all probability
it would never be revived.
Another point to be consider
ed: Our beloved veterans are
rapidly passing away. What a
pleasure it would be to those
still with us to see this under
talking completed before they
are called upon to follow those
who have gone before.
Send any amount you desire
to Mrs. WUI Hamilton, Treasur
er Monument Fund Clarksville
Texas.
Please give this matter your
consideration. Do not glance at
it apd forget hut contribute at
once. Yours Hopefully,
Mrs. D. II. Tayloe,
President Clarksville, Git apt.
