The Confederate veterans of Russell county and the sons and daughters extend a vote of thanks to Mr. Elie Buckles, of Hazelton, Kans., for a $5 donation to the Confederate Monument fund.

We hope that other Russell people, though they may have been long gone from the county, will send liberal donations. Those who wish to do this can send money to the editor of this paper and all donations will be published. Names of those who make donations to the Monument fund will appear under this heading.

Elie Buckles, Kans. $5.00.
