It certainly seems that we need a

An article has been placed in the 
warrant calling for a position to be 
granted the local W.R.C. for a sol- 
diers monument. Nearly every town 
and city in our commonwealth has a 
soldiers monument, and this matter 
should be given the best possible at- 
tention by the voters. The proposed 
monument will honor the patriotism 
and loyalty of Manchester’s soldiers, 
for Manchester sent out a most ex- 
cellent representation of noble citizens 
and soldiers to the War of the Re- 
bellion.
