———o--The Daughters of the Confederacy plan the raising of *5,000 for the erection of a Confederate monument in Denton. As we’ve remarked before, we hope they will meet with no difficulty in carrying out their plans, and we are sure that it is a debt which Denton county citizens of today owe those ofa yesterday to commemorate theirlabors and patriotism by a titling monument to remind all times of thefact that Denton county sent out farbeyond its quota to the Confederate service. Denton county, be it never forgotten, out of a population of perhaps less Ilian 5,000, sent out more than twelve hundred men to serve in the Confederate army. With few lt;r no exceptions it was the old and the halt, the weak and the crippled, who were left at home to protect their families from the, hazards of the then frontier. Southern men of this day and generation owe a debt of reverence to thosemen of ’61. A handsome monument erected to their memory would be a fitting, if inadequate, payment on thatdebt.
