The interesting suggestion is made by the Jacksonville (Florida) Citizen that a monument be erected in which the typical southern slave shall be represented. The design suggested is that of a southern matron, with the true plantation "Uncle" and "Mammy" as her supporters, and the white boy and girl they loved and helped to train, as further figures. This would be interesting as a memorial of a state of society that existed before the war.
