Who gave themselves in life
and death for us;

For the Honor of Georgia,
For the Rights of the States,
For the Liberties of the People,
For the Sentiments of the South,
For the Principles of the Union.
As these were handed down to them
By the Fathers of our Common Country.

MODEL OF MONUMENT to the WOMEN OF THỂ

CONFEDERACY

Designed by Miss Belle Kinney

This design represents Fame, supporting with her left hand the dying Confederate color-bearer, who, with his dying effort, attempts to raise the flag, and the Southern woman, kneeling at Fame's right, leans forward to place upon him the Palm of Victory, thus showing her appreciation of his splendid sacrifice; and while she does this she is unconsciously being crowned by Fame. It is a magnificent, appropriate and most touching conception, most artistically typified in the group presented by the artist."
