To the relatives and friends of the Confederate dead;
Again the people of Hardeman county are called upon to give something, and that speedily, for the erection of a monument to the memory of our fallen friends and brothers. Several offers have been made lately to take the contract of putting up the Monument, and we only wait to see if our people will respond and contribute to the work. Bolivar, Saulsbury, and District 16, (and a few scattering contributions from individuals) are the only parts of the county which have taken action. Miss Mollie ELLIOTT of Saulsbury, Rev. L. H. SAVAGE and Mr. David MCKINNIE have done noble work with the lists sent them.
Will not some friends of the project from each district of the county do what they can in the next three weeks, for by the last of next month we expect to make arrangements for having the work done, as an agent of a house in Jackson, Tenn., and one from Paducah, Ky., will come here between the 20th and last of the month, prepared to take the contract. We cannot put up a nice, substantial Monument for less than from thirty-five hundred to four thousand dollars, as designs have been examined and inquiries made with a view to find out the price. Two thousand dollars is the amount now on hand, and if the people of the county will do no more, we will use that and put up what we can, though it is barely possible to make that suffice for the most inferior work of the kind.
Let some man, or committee of men, in each district, send in a list of the dead from his district without delay, giving the regiment if possible, and place and time of death. Let all who are friends to the object, do what they can in the next three weeks.
Bolivar, January 25, 1867.

We notice by a late number of that excellent paper, the Memphis Commercial and Argus, that W. J. SMITH is spoken of as “the representative from Hardeman.” This is an error. The people of this staunch old county have said in convention that he is not their servant – neither do they wish to be “dubbed” has constituents”. Lash him as much as you many, but do not say that he represents Hardeman county in the Tennessee legislature. Facts do not warrant the assertion. Don’t say it!!
