CONTRACT IS SIGNED
The Stonewall Jackson Monument Association, represented by Rev. James Power Smith, D.D., president, yesterday signed the contract with F.W. Sievers, the Richmond sculptor, for the erection of the Stonewall Jackson monument, which is to be erected at the intersection of the Boulevard and Monument Avenue. The work is to be completed within two years.
This will mean that the monument will be finished during this and unveiled probably at a Confederate reunion. The next reunion will be in Washington, and should Richmond make its appeal for the reunion in 1918, with the statement that a monument to Stonewall Jackson would be unveiled, there is a strong probability that the veterans would vote to come here.

Democrats of the Ninth Virginia District are expected to pick Tawnwell Man to oppose him.
Democrats of the Ninth Virginia District have not yet decided upon the date or place for holding a convention for the nomination of a candidate for Congress to oppose the Republican incumbent, C. Pascoin. Stepping, but sentiment expressed at the state convention in Roanoke on June 3, is up-reading throughout the district favorable to George C. Perry, of Tawnwell County. Mr. Perry is an attorney of prominence in the Southwest, and is a graduate of the University of Virginia.  At the University of Virginia, he was formerly connected with the law firm of Vickers & Perkins, at Miss Stone, but recently located at Tazewell, where he is handling the legal work for a large estate.
