      Movement to Mark Their Graves in the City Cemetery.

       

      The Florence chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy are engaged in a movement to suitably mark the names of all the Confederate dead interred in the city cemetery. They have a list, which is published below for the purpose of having added to the list any names that may not be in their possession, and also to have stricken from the list any names that are not entitled to be on it. The committee in charge of this work are Mrs. Lee Ashcraft, Miss Olive Rogers and Miss Mattie McDavid. These ladies ask correction of the list by any one having information on the subject:
