A Washington paper has the following to say of the other son, Raymond, which will, no doubt be of interest to friends of the Snider family in Jackson county, their old home: Raymond Snider arrived home Thursday, after an absence of five years and says he is glad to get home. He is the son of Jule Snider and is well known here. He was among the first to enlist in the fight for his country, and enlisted in Mis souri in the 35th division and in July this division occupied the Gerardmer sector with the French and it executed various raids, such as the Helserfirst and Mottle raids, upon which it was highly compli mented and received decorations from the French. In September the division backed the First American Army during its operations in the St. Mihiel salient. In the end of the month the division attacked as part of the First army in the great Verdun-Argonne battle. It remain ed in battle five days, executing five separate attacks and losing over six thousand officers and men. It was here that Raymond was wounded. On September 26 two wounds in the right hand by ma chine gun and on the 27th he was hit by high explosive shell, receiv ing a wound in his leg and side. For 72 days he was confined to his bed at Bordeaux and in a hospital for nine months before being able to return home.

If there should appear to be any error we would thank you to call our attention and we shall make public rectification. The object of publishing this statement is to show those who are interested exactly how the Confed erate Monument account stands, and open the way to speedy and complete settlement of the balance due the people who erected this splendid memorial to our immortal dead. The collection of this balance was interrupted by the world war and the influenza epidemic. Some of those who are in arrears on sub scription are prominent business and professional men, and some have died since the monument was unveiled. Any and all of them would have paid their balances on request, and it is no fault of theirs that these have not been paid. In fact it was the understanding mth all subscribers who wished, that they could pay half of their sub scriptions before the unveiling and the other half November 1, 1915, and September 18th, 1916, and still others not later than a year from this latter date. This by way of explanation. We were exceedingly careful to credit every person at the moment and deposit the money, however small, in one or the other Sylva Banks, without delay. Our figures outside of subscrip tions and cost of monument nj totals, are some of them, approxi mate. -If we could collect all the balances due in this lict there are no material errors.we could reduce the ba.ance due. not figuring the interest, to about $250.00.
