$25,000 Raised for
Building. . . This Amount to Commemorate the Memory of the Valiant Deeds of Our
Brave Soldiers
Members of the committee out working to raise money for the Memorial
Building secured $25,000 yesterday and the prospects to secure a good sum are
bright.
The county districts are not contributing largely to the
cause probably because they do not understand that the rest room and other
features of the building are for their convenience when they come to town.
Of course the building is primarily to honor the soldiers who
made the supreme sacrifice and some express themselves as saying that they
would be willing to give a large amount for this purpose, whole on the other
hand if they will think a moment they will understand that a building of this
kind will honor the boys more than a monument for it will be impossible to
place even the names of the boys from Wilson county who participated in the war
on a monument, while in a memorial building, there will be ample room for
panels commemorating their deeds and also rooms to store relics from the boys,
and in this way we can create a Hall of History.
The ladies are out today working hard to increase the sum
total of the contributions to this worthy cause.
